Good Build?

What's a good build for Shantotto?

[Kit]

I suggest you take a look at Cherub's Shantotto guide.

Yes, you should take a look at cherub's Shantotto guide. It may not be complete yet, but it will give you a good idea of what to use. Don't post in the guide though.

I used to try her Assist build and it's quite good, I'd say. With her chainspells Assist Charge on HPA is very good (and anpther +1.5 multiplyer for an empty ex :P). She don't get many of advantages from her EX mode, I think.
If opponents collects EX force and enters EX mode, we can even try to hit him with hp and use an Assist for EX break =)
One of the important things: you must quickly collect EX Cores: Shantotto's HPA deals much of EX force and it's be bad if your opponent has it all Ofc you won't get any EX Force, but your opponent won't get it, too.
So i think Assist is more important for her then EX (I use Vaan, after watching SolidSok's playing on the last toruny )

I don't have a video for Sephiroth combos, but I'm pretty sure you could work Sephiroth off the same moves that the majority of assists work with. A Couple Attacks (1 or 2 hits), Stun, Aero, Thunder, Water, Stone.

You'll probably want to stick to Stun + Aero after the assist chase, though Stun + Retribution would likely work as well.

any advice to improve this build?

I understand why people would try initial brv boost builds, though I prefer to stay away from them.

The only thing I would suggest would be replacing the opponent summon unused accessory since some opponents do use them. Another after 30 seconds could work. I only use Aerith for mu's like Exdeath for Planet Protector. Whether you use her more is up to you. I just find Yuna a lot more useful.

I honestly don't know what else to add to it.

Fill your BRV land abilities and add a thunder as a land HP Attack.

You should also get rid of Force to Courage and add some boosters instead of a few White Drops. (for moar depletion and because Force to Courage isn't that useful since she does more EX with her HP attacks so she won't really benefit from it, it will only help her to recover faster I don't think it's really useful.)

Also I'd take Yuna instead of Aerith 'cause Aerith is only useful in battles that take place in the air. (I believe that Shantotto should stay most of the time on the ground/ near the ground.)
