Overview

Before 5★ Uncap

A very powerful, straight forward character, but suffers from consistency problems due to SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
. Typically used as either an auto-attack character, or as a Charge Attack enabler through Cuore di LeoneAll allies gain Instant ChargeInstantly sets Charge Bar to 100%
Unaffected by Charge Bar Gain status effects.
No effect when afflicted by Shorted debuffs or when Charge Bar is above 100%..
Lower SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
Multiplier: Perpetuity lvl by 3.
(Requires SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
Multiplier: Perpetuity lvl 3 or higher.); needs SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
 to do either. Requires special team building consideration as a result. Puts out a lot of damage if he doesn't get hit.

After 5★ Uncap

Much more consistent due to the buff to SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
 at level 85, as well as UnchallengedNext DMG received will be ineffective
 on Charge Attack, which means that getting hit every now and then doesn't mean that he's starting from scratch. Requires less setup to perform in the same roles as he did before, but still maintains some of the same weaknesses as his pre-5★ iteration.

    • Stacks with Bahamut's call.

Synergy

Seofon is in an interesting situation, given that he can potentially have guaranteed TA for the entire duration of a fight. However, this reliability is conditional in that he needs a degree of protection in order to maintain SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
 stacks. It's worth noting that, beyond level 85, Seofon can only lose 2 SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
 stacks per turn, barring any buff removals from enemies, or from using Cuore di LeoneAll allies gain Instant ChargeInstantly sets Charge Bar to 100%
Unaffected by Charge Bar Gain status effects.
No effect when afflicted by Shorted debuffs or when Charge Bar is above 100%..
Lower SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
Multiplier: Perpetuity lvl by 3.
(Requires SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
Multiplier: Perpetuity lvl 3 or higher.). This means that, once he reaches level 85, Seofon only needs 3 turns of protection at any given time in order to reach 5 stacks of SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
, which he can then maintain, unaided, for the rest of the fight.

As a result, instead of the traditional multi-attack support that most characters want, or need, to reach full potential, Seofon instead really wants defensive support and Supplemental Damage.

Characters

Wind Sword characters for Ultima Sword compositions: Jeanne d'Arc (Summer), Korwa (SR), Lancelot (Wind), Lecia (Grand), Melissabelle, Monika (Grand), Siegfried (Yukata), Yuel (Summer), Yuisis, Yurius

  • Rosetta (Grand) Might be one of the best partners for Seofon, providing both powerful ATK buffs and attack redirection in one ability. Seofon, likewise, proves to be a solid partner in return, acting as a charge bar battery through his constant Charge Attacks.
  • Niyon: While many of her buffs overlap with Seofon's self-buffs, Comatose is a powerful debuff that can help Seofon reach max SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
     stacks safely.
  • Andira: Powerful all-round Wind character, with some nice ATK buffs. While the Hostility UpMore likely to be attacked

    At level 75:

    At level 90:

    Strength: 30%     can be very powerful in his hands.
  • Monika (Grand)/ Siegfried (Yukata): Provide Hostility UpMore likely to be attacked
     that lasts for 3 turns, as well as Sword Specialization.

    On the next turn, it'll have 3 turns remaining.     after Charge Attack.
  • Korwa (SR): Can grant Seofon AdolescenceDouble attack rate is boosted / Triple attack rate is boosted
    Special buff    , RadiantHype is boosted every turn (Max: Lvl 4 [Effect duration extends after reaching lvl 4] / Ends upon taking DMG)
     and Dodge AllTakes no DMG or debuffs while in effect for a set period
    , which greatly increases attack due to HypeATK is boosted

     stacks with every ATK Up buffs, besides allowing Seofon to evade foe's attacks. The duration of HypeATK is boosted
     extends virtually as long as Seofon doesn't get hit.
  • Levi/ Heles (Wind): Powerful, but perhaps unorthodox choices with Seofon. Packing their own powerful TA buffs, they allow for greedier grid building, focusing purely on increasing auto-attack damage and cap. However, having all three characters on one team might re-emphasize Heles (Wind)'s and Seofon's weaknesses.
  • Carmelina/ Petra (SSR): Less powerful choices, but their Mirror ImageNext one-to-one attack received will be ineffective
    (Effect removed on next all-foe all-ally attack)
     support helps Seofon to avoid damage and maintain SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
     stacks.

Main Character

The Main Character has a couple of different options for optimizing Seofon's damage or protecting him.

  • Spartan is a good choice for players using Ultima Sword or Atma Sword, providing two defensive skills in  GuardianGain DEF UpDEF is boosted
    Duration: 3 turns     and Hostility UpMore likely to be attacked
    Strength: 50Duration: 3 turns    .
    (Consumes 30% of charge bar.)     and  Centurion IITarget ally gains UnchallengedNext DMG received will be ineffective
    Duration: 3 turns or 1 hit    .    . Spartan becomes a better choice if you can find other sources of Supplemental Damage.
  • As mentioned above, Kengo/Samurai and Chrysaor are uniquely positioned to take advantage of Seofon's CA boosting powers. Chrysaor in particular, with it's ability to perform two Charge Attacks through  Dual ArtsGain C.A. ReactivationCharge attack reactivates
    Duration: 2 turns    .
    (Can only be used when an auxiliary weaponA sabre or katana of the same element as the main weapon equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section is equipped.)    , as well as its Sword Specialization, can be very powerful. While Chrysaor offers little utility to the team, or to Seofon, the additional power and flexibility of two separate Charge Attacks may be worth consideration.
  • While not sword specialty classes, these suggestions merit consideration in mixed specialty teams.
    •  ChaserAll allies gain 20% Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks
      Strength: 20%Duration: 3 turns      .       and  ChokeAll allies gain Attack AllAttacks each foe
      Duration: 3 turns      .       both become stronger the more consistent your attackers are. While Chaser is often outperformed by other forms of Supplemental Damage from other characters, Choke is a more unique skill that effectively increases auto-attack damage based on the number of enemies present.

      .)       is a much stronger, but also much harder to use source of Supplemental Damage. While it's 1 turn duration is an obvious downside, the potential upside is much higher when combined with other 1 turn or 1 attack buffs, when compared to Chaser.

Priorities[edit]

Prioritize Critical first, followed by CA DMG. It's important to take the CA DMG nodes for enemies with high defense even if you're already hitting the cap in normal situations.

Priorities[edit]

Please note that Seofon's November 2019 rebalance negates most of the advice in this build.

With his final upgrades, Seofon's EMP priorities change quite a bit. With the increased cap on his SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
s and easier maintenance on them, Seofon will functionally always triple attack. As such, take Hostility Down and Dodge first to keep his SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
s up as frequently as possible, and then Critical. For QoL reasons, finally, take his Support skill: at 3★, it extends the duration of SwordshineATK and multiattack rate is boosted
 enough that it will never expire before they are spent on Cuore di LeoneAll allies gain Instant ChargeInstantly sets Charge Bar to 100%
