Overview

Eustace is a solid character for both short and long solo content, providing both damage and support. Though Splintered CellMultiattack rate and dodge rate are boosted / Deals bonus dark DMG for one-foe attacks (Can't be removed)
only affects himself and one other character, characters who provide multiattack buffs for other party members are a rarity in Dark and thus his buffs extremely useful for characters who cannot buff themselves.

Strength: 20%. At level 55, Splintered Cell will have no downtime (5 turn duration and cooldown), and being undispellable means it can be kept up as long as Eustace is alive.

Weaknesses

Reliance on skills makes him less optimal for racing in raid content.
Gun/Dagger weapon proficiencies are less ideal for Atma/Ultima weapon synergy.

How to Play

Eustace has a straightforward skill set.

Splintered CellGrant Splintered CellMultiattack rate and dodge rate are boosted / Deals bonus dark DMG for one-foe attacks (Can't be removed)
Duration: 5 turns effect to caster and an ally.
(Can't grant Splintered CellMultiattack rate and dodge rate are boosted / Deals bonus dark DMG for one-foe attacks (Can't be removed)
Duration: 5 turns effect to more than 1 other ally at a time.) should be used on a unit who lacks multiattack buffs of their own or wants to multiattack reliably, like the Main Character.
Forever Yours4-hit, 150% Dark damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~120,000 per hit).
Inflict 10% DEF Down (Stackable / Max: 40%)DEF is lowered (Stackable)

.

Synergy

Main Character

Mechanic: With Mechanic and Energy Maneuver, Eustace is extremely useful for 1-turn strategies with his boosted charge attack damage cap. Because Energy Maneuver will instantly fill his charge bar, he will also have Aubade du FlamekDeals bonus dark DMG for charge attacks (Can't be removed)
for additional damage after his charge attack.
Chaos Ruler (or Dark Fencer): While a powerful support class, Chaos Ruler lacks multiattack buffs of its own, which can be rectified with Splintered CellMultiattack rate and dodge rate are boosted / Deals bonus dark DMG for one-foe attacks (Can't be removed)
.
- If Parazonium is set as the main character's main weapon, the bonus damage from Parazonium's charge attack will stack with Splintered Cell's.

Character Synergy

Azazel: Both have dagger proficiencies and while Azazel can provide Blind and Poison for his own charge attack damage boost, Eustace also provides (a weaker) Blind with his charge attack. With both of their boosted charge attack damage caps, they pair together well in a Mechanic team to quickly burst down enemies.
Ferry (Grand): Ferry provides a party-wide Charge Bar +20%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 20%
Strength: 20% for Eustace's third skill, and between Ferry's Die UmkehrungGrant FreigeistDouble attack rate is boosted / Triple attack rate is boosted / More likely to be attacked / Charge attack DMG is boosted / Charge attack DMG cap is boosted / Charge bar gain is boosted / Recovers once from a knockout while in effect (Can't be removed)
Strength: 100% DA Up,
20% TA Up,
+10 Hostility Up,
50% C.A DMG Up,
10% C.A DMG Cap Up,
20% Charge Bar Gain UpDuration: 5 turns to another Dark ally.
(When cast from 10th turn onward: Target also gains Tri-SlashAttacks 3 times each turn
Duration: 1 turn for 1 turn.) and Eustace's Splintered Cell, 3/4 of the party will have multiattack buffs. Though Ferry's skill has a longer cooldown, they have the same duration, allowing Eustace to change his support target if necessary.

Kamigame's recommended EMP build for Eustace (Dark).

Double Attack nodes are unnecessary due to Splintered Cell's strong buff, but Triple Attack nodes may be taken to improve the 35% TA buff. Skill Damage Cap should be taken to boost the damage on Forever Yours. If necessary, Debuff Success can be taken for the Stackable Def Down; if someone else is providing Def Down debuffs, EMP can be allocated elsewhere. CA Damage can be taken if you aren't already capping.
