Sol Badguy (Info, Skills)

Sol Badguy flaming up the sandbag

Sol’s free artifact. 😀

FFjunk thinks he is a good free unit:

Sol looks surprisingly good for a free unit! That utility kit though:

• Dispel

• Buff Blocker

• Counter Attack

• Counter Silence

• Extra Turn + Buff Extend to Ally

-Add in Damage Dealt proportional to ENEMY’s max health, Sol should fit both PvE and PvP!
-5* Junkyard Dog artifact could also offer interesting synergy with heavy Burn procs on Counters and S1.

Baiken (Info, Skills)

Similar stats to Sez

Cool animation

Her artifact gives her more chance to bleed

1% chance to get her. If you are unlucky, then 121 summons is needed to get her. I think her artifact is not 100% guaranteed though.
