Hero Build Overview/Explanation
Well, I never thought I would ever create an account just to show a build, but I'm here now so lets get the show started!
King of Nohr: Garon
My boy certainly has seen better times, I can remember when he was tier 2 as if it was yesterday... Unfortunately Garon is only seen as a niche pick in an Anti-Dragon team, but, I'm here to show you that he can be so much more, especially as an Enemy Phase Supertank!
Weapon: Pale Breath+ (+Def)
Now, this is the bread and butter of your Def Supertank and retaliation, focusing on standing near his allies and support partner to effectively do large chunks of damage to cocky sword units that initiate combat, and even kill if buffed!
Assist: Swap
Does this really need to be explained? Though you can run more supportive tools, such as a Rally, Harsh Command, and even Reciprocal Aid, this tool generally benefits him more than Reposition when moving away but retaining a sort of defensive 'stance' around both Allies and Foes.
Special: Aether
Though not having any CD reduction on this particular build, as a Supertank, you may require both and extra burst of damage and healing when in a pinch, and that's exactly what this provides.
Passive A: Close Foil
Adding even more bulk and offense potential is never a bad thing, especially when physical units are amongst the most commonly used in the game, and even if not used you shouldn't really be using a Defence tank against mages... Along with the bonus of Attack and Defence, you are also able to counter bow units, so you can finally be rid of all the Blue Chroms plaguing Arena and Aether Raids!
Passive B: Quick Riposte 3
Also self-explanatory, little speed but high damage capabilities on enemy phase means it would be a given to give this guy follow-up potential.
Passive C: Panic Ploy 3
Debuff tool for having a large HP stat? Don't mind if I do! Even without an Asset in HP, you'll generally have enough to inflict panic on most enemies that cross your path. Adding onto this, even with the chance that you cross paths with the fearsome F!Ike, you'll still generally have a large enough Defence stat to tank whatever's being thrown at you.
Passive S: Atk/Def Bond 3
The baby version of your weapon still packs a hell of a punch, and even with the introduction of healing after every duel with the new Mystic Boost seal, this generally is still the go to. There may also be other units in your squad that may want the passive healing more than Garon, such as Atk/Spd Push users and mages.
Well, that about wraps up everything about my personal Garon! I do hope I've made an impression on all 3 people that use Garon, myself included. I still believe that this guy is worth using in most circumstances, even without the specific use of Breath of Blight.
