Assists, Exdeath, and you: A thread that could be in the Exdeath section.

[Bloodsword83]

This thread is to ascertain the usefulness of assists to Exdeath.
To begin, let me begin by saying that I know how useful assists are in general, what with the making of the combos and such. However, what I want opinions on is the following question:

Should Exdeath use one of his Brave Air attack slots on a generally craptastic and laggy move just for the ability to build the Assist Gauge?

My personal opinion is that Exdeath should stick with RP and two Guards. Limiting yourself to either High Block or Omni Block is just silly, in my opinion.

Firion's air brave assist is Fire, I can see that helping Exdeath if the enemy decides to block

Very true.

However, this isn't about whether or not the assists themselves are useful (Haruhi God knows they are). This is about whether or not Exdeath should use a move in the air aside from his blocks and Reverse Polarity to try and charge them faster.

lol Who's Haruhi?

IIRC Exdeath guard moves build up the assist gauge too, so does his Hp attacks. I remember fighting fighting an Exdeath in Prolougs that kept using Almagest>High guard and used assists pretty often.

It seems like every time I fight Exdeath, he never gets a chance to build up his assists. This is where this question came from.

stick to RP and the blocks

Quick question, does RP build up assist? How about the guards? [Though I can assume they (the guards) don't...]

[Bloodsword83]

RP does little to nothing for the assist gauge.
