That magic aura will be great forever. I also have full faith that gumi will ALWAYS take care of wind when it comes to VC releases and future upgrades. (His VC touching on every meta unit in wind is no accident. Same thing they do with lightning.) Dario is a must pull for me. He will pay dividends for a long time.
Agreed, he's a great unit and has great utility, my main point at the end is If we're flipping towards a physical meta again soon he may be an odd man out until it flips back.
@@northofmainstreet7281 He is worth it. With him on your team, he is best in slot for any magic engagement, yet its not like its an auto loss VS physical. Think about your last 5 pulls. I guarantee he fits amongst the top.
I'm probably going for Ashen Strategist since I have a maxed A2. New Ashen vision card for that unit also covers great sword + velis. With that being said though, dario is an AWESOME unit, should be amazing for at least the next year and anyone would be lucky to have him. I am ridiculousy excited for the next VS video between dario and strategist. I really cannot wait! Top notch vid as always JB!
I am pretty sure I am just planning on pulling him because he is one of my favorite characters. I'll make him work, no matter what! Thanks for the valuable insight as always JB!
Dario was one of the best characters that got removed from the story too early, and as soon as I heard he got a UR variant on JP I started stockpiling all my vis. He might get powercrept for PVP soon-ish but he'll stay on my PVE wind team regardless (replacing his MR variant).
I don't think he'll necessarily be power crept, but meta conditions might push him out a little bit; it's hard to say with such a small forward looking window. Either way he is a solid unit with a great kit.
Thanks JB. As much as i want him, i only have one max reincanated UR and that's Raph, so i think I'll skip. Its hard for me to max reincarnate multiple units
The review i was waiting for! I agree, unsure how long BM meta will last, but i have Helena and Vivi to pair, along with VCs. I do wonder what the new Oldoa will be like too!
He's Fest Limited or Semi-Limited, meaning he's only in the pool to pull during these Warriors of the Crystal Events. Once you do have him though, his hard quests are available permanently, as are his shards/mindspheres for mog currency or star currency. Thanks for watching!
What do you think of swapping out the spirit set for a defense set and leaning more into physical survivability, as he already has a good starting point for magical mitigation. I'll likely be missing out, as I'm poor from nier. 10 single shots and the 2 discounted is probably as far as I'll go.
Combining a DEF set with the Maximillian you won't end up getting full benefit of the DEF stats and they'll get cut in half. I use a high SPR TMR combined with the SPR set mostly for the healing power, but he gets a big boost in his SPR stat also. Many of the modern damage dealers are getting up to 80 DEF penetration or more via active buffs, so I wouldn't advise stacking defense across both slots like that unless you can pair him with a unit that can reduce DEF penetration of the opponent.
I pulled him, and honestly like I was saying in the video, he's pretty hard to use right now since Fist and Greatsword are two of the more popular teams right now, about 1 month too late for this unit to hit the ground running. I'm sure he will be really nice to have later though.
100 HP/Stone base stat + 5% of ~4600 from set bonus = ~530 more HP in the pool So lets use an example of 14000 health dario, with just 10 healing power = 3080 healed VS Dario with 13500 HP with 20 Healing power = 3240 healed Not to mention the additional health he would get from his Drains, or any external heals.
@@JB79 Doesn't seem as worth outside of maybe avoiding Healing Power Down debuff if I'm correct in that.Will have to see what gives him more effective HP in the long term.
That is the general consensus with the theory being that each one will be a different element. It is possible they could duplicate an element, but thus far have not done so with the ashes units.
I think he's gonna get squashed by A2 + Tank Oldoa teams in a month or so, but I went in on him anyway. I've known since the event in the story years ago that we hadn't seen the last of him, and I've been waiting for his redemption ever since. He'll be a nice addition to any account.
If you want to maximize his damage then run him at 97 faith, the trade off is he will take more magic damage and be more susceptible to status ailments, if you’re not worried about out that then 97 works, personally I split the difference and use 70

More the reason slow build him now if you happen to pull him

I think by the time I have to get a handle on Oldoa, Dario will be gone, but I think I will do this anyway, a few people have asked!

Good Luck! Hopefully the pulls are favorable!
21:00 how much more run will Vivi & Helena have? Doesn't mention Oldoa will be keeping them going for another 6 months.
Remains to be seen, but I hear you, I wasn't thrilled about a new 100 cost BLM tank either.

Thank you JB…awesome video 🙃
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Jp great review. I know it will never happen but I’d love to see a Xenogears collaboration with Citan, Elly, and Fei as characters.
They have done it a couple of times in FFBE, I'm not sure if we'll see it in WoTV - although I'd love to!
Thanks JB. As much as i want him, i only have one max reincanated UR and that's Raph, so i think I'll skip. Its hard for me to max reincarnate multiple units
Totally understandable - maybe if you go for Oldoa, Volke, or Mont down the line you'll get this guy off banner!
The review i was waiting for! I agree, unsure how long BM meta will last, but i have Helena and Vivi to pair, along with VCs.
I do wonder what the new Oldoa will be like too!
Is he going to be limited unit? Thanks for the video I use them for building my teams. Greetings from Mexico. n.n

@@JB79 Thanks.
JB can you also do reveiws for that Ice Oldoa ? It may help a lot of us to decide :)
She just released in JP today lol; it will take some time I will review her later.
Don't forget anniversary this month new jeume may shake tings up.
Looking forward to it!

@JB79 right right. Forgot about the stat getting cut in half. Definitely seems less potent to go that direction remembering that tidbit.
i have maxed A2 so very likely will wait for other ice unit..
Congrats, she is a monster! And so is Oldoa!
love his kit so much ... feels bad skipping him

Would going Vital for Left side truststones also be viable as his counter heal is a % of his health, so having more would make it more substantial?
100 HP/Stone base stat + 5% of ~4600 from set bonus = ~530 more HP in the pool
So lets use an example of 14000 health dario, with just 10 healing power = 3080 healed

kinda off-topic but has there been confirmation as to ashen king's element? i'm guessing he's going to be earth with lilyth's bro being fire?

Hate 5 = Weak to any "Follow up" team/party
Because "Follow up" is count as action (-2 Hate)
Exactly, I've already seen the hate be an issue for him in several battles.
very important point indeed. I have seen him out of hate almost instantly.
I think he's gonna get squashed by A2 + Tank Oldoa teams in a month or so, but I went in on him anyway. I've known since the event in the story years ago that we hadn't seen the last of him, and I've been waiting for his redemption ever since. He'll be a nice addition to any account.
It will be interesting to see who wins out between Ice/Water/Earth and Fire/Lightning/Wind
kinda want to pull for him but after saw KT7UP post about ashen oldoa im gonna pass for now. gotta stay strong for best girl oldoa
Initial details look really good!
@@JB79 yeah her kit looks promising
97 faith?
