Review

Surplice Gemini Saga is a damage booster. It's also a DPS with some control. But what does that mean? Well, when it opens its Another Dimension field, the damage enemies take is increased, they lose speed, but most importantly, they share damage as extra damage with True Damage.

It's normal to look at the stats at the end of a match and see that Surplice Gemini Saga did the most damage even though he's not the main DPS. This happens because he works with all the damage our allies do. He also has the ability to confuse the enemy, but control is not what he excels at. A good unit for all levels. His Awakened Cloth gave him a little more survivability by hiding the character if his health drops below a certain percentage, but it was nothing special.

Pros

Cheap to build in Cosmos and Skill Books.
Good against units with shields or healing that activates with each hit.
One of the best secondary DPS.
Has some control.
Perfect for combos.

Cons

Not very strong in defense, can die quickly.
Its damage has been slightly reduced against the shield meta.
Its Awakened Cloth was mediocre.

Skill Descriptions

Skill 1

Light-speed Fist - Underworld

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Deals 80% C.DMG to the target.

Skill 2

Mysterious Devil Punch - Underworld

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Deals 200% C.DMG to a single enemy, with a 35% + (Status HIT) chance of inflicting Confusion on them for 2 rounds. If Another Dimension is active, it has another 15% + (Status HIT) chance of confusing the enemy.

Skill 3

Another Dimension - Underworld - Awakened

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Opens an alternate dimension maintained by 5 stacks of Dimensional Energy that reduces the ATK and DEF attributes of all enemies in the dimension by 10% each, as well as their Speed by 3%. Enemies pass on 5% of their damage taken to one another (indirect damage will not be passed on again). Whenever an enemy Saint takes an action, reduces one stack of Dimensional Energy. If a Shield is active after said unit's action, decreases the Shield's damage absorption ability by 60% of C.ATK. Saga drifts in the alternate dimension and gains 20% P.DMG Res and C.DMG Res. When Another Dimension is active, Saga will gain a Shield equal to 2% of his Max HP the first time his HP falls below 50%. When Saga's HP first falls below 20%, gains Hidden for 2 action turns.

Skill 4

Galaxy Explosion - Underworld

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Guides the stars to fall and randomly attack the enemy target, dealing a 4-part attack of 120% C.DMG each and restoring 1 stack of Dimensional Energy. If the enemy is still within Another Dimension - Underworld by the time Saga launches his finishing move, automatically casts Galaxy Explosion - Underworld (only triggers once per round and does not restore Dimensional Energy). This explosion has a 30% Life Steal. Each time Galaxy Explosion is cast, the attack will include 1 more instance of damage (up to 8).
