This rating is intended for advanced players. 🔰 3This character's beginner rating from Kamigame out of 5. This rating is intended for beginners and is a separate evaluation from the advanced player rating.

  • Role: Support/Debuffer
  • Greatly increases Water team damage output with his buffs, debuffs, and charge bar generation.
  • His debuff is very inaccurate until Lvl 90.
  • His Lvl 95 support skill helps other members of the team in landing their debuffs.
  • Fits in almost any Water team composition.

Overview

Altair is a strong support character who provides many useful buffs. However, he requires his 5★ uncap to reach maximum utility, and he lacks a niche outside of providing important buffs and debuffs. As a result, he loses value for players who aren't strong enough to get his 5★ upgrades, or who can fill his role with other characters.

Strengths

  • Every character in Water can make use of what he provides—30% Water ATK UpWater ATK is boosted
    Strength: 30%    , a dual-sided ATK UpATK is boosted
     and DEF UpDEF is boosted

  • Level 95 support skill slightly boosts all allies' debuff success rate.

Weaknesses

  • Requires his 5★ uncap to become truly useful to the party.
  • Before level 90, his DEF Down doesn't quite do enough to be useful:  Miserable MistInflict 25% ATK DownATK is lowered
    Strength: 25%Base Accuracy: 80%Duration: 180 secondsStacking: Dual     and 25% DEF DownDEF is lowered

    Inflict 20% DEF DownDEF is lowered
    Strength: 20%Base Accuracy: 80%Duration: 180 secondsStacking: Single    .[1]     will stack, but only brings the target down to -40% DEF Down.
  • Long cooldowns on his skills make his utility for longer fights questionable, especially since he doesn't have a niche that cannot be filled by anyone else.
  • Doesn't provide much damage on his own.
