wrote in quote, you could also unequip counterattack mostly for with the high base brv you deal good damage even without crits.

I'm new using Zidane and I need tips to how use it correctly and which abilities are a must with him.
I know that Zidane works really good with a SbS/Depletion Build. Well, I have the depletion, but I don't like use SbS with Zidane. Is a EX Core Build good enough?

That's my build, I don't know if it's the correct moveset... xD

Sorry, but i always facepalm when i see a Zid with any damage accesories. They dont help much b/c Zid is weak to begin with.
SBS, HBBS and Extreme Depletation work good for Zid yes, but in some MUs SBS is useless and an EX-Core build on Zid is good enough as he got a good dash speed.
Ground Moves... read above post



Zids EX game is awfull, SA smash Zid and opponent away from the EX Force generated by SA.

95% of the time you should be using sbs. Maintaining control of the fight with constant assist and massive depletion is Zidane's game. Play aggressive applying constant pressure and you'll take full advantage of sbs. If you're gonna us an ex core build then don't halfass it and make it worth using.

interesting build with heaven's cloud there lxd. i think i'll gonna go and try it when i need to discard sbs for certain matchups

^That build have 181-183Def with a base brv of ~1k with a HP of 9644 with no abilitys.

Sure you get 10.6x on max boosters to get a ~100% EX Core absorb + the 20% from loki flute with a total of 120% EX-C Absorb, So that gives 330 on a
"empty" ex-core but ehhh... yeah... that build is Extreme EX-Core/AST depletation build... with a weak EX Depletation.

I myself dont like "Summon Unused (Opp)" as you sometimes dont know if opponent will use a summon or not, i see it as unreliable and would switch out 1 booster for Dismay Shock.
"Large gap in HP" is more usefull in a HBBS for Zid as he have it easier to make a huge HP gap fast and is not that reliable with such low HP as 9644 and opponent will at a time do some HP damage in you which make it harder to keep "Large gap in HP", some people may say that it will work fine with EX-Mode´s regen but with no regen boosting accesories and such low max HP (9644) your regen will be shit.

I'm sure you notice that an ex core with Zidane in the fight is rarely an empty core. SA's ex force in never consumed, making ex cores a pretty big factor in any fight with Zid in it. With this in mind, maximizing your ex core intake is the best option if you're gonna bother with dragonfly orb in the first place.

Don't mean to get nitpicky here but his def is 184 with that set, and any Zid not using the Hp boost ability is just dumb. Making whatever you were trying to say invalid.

Quite honestly tho this discussion needs to die. It discourages sbs which is something that should be a no brainer to use on a character that benefits so much from it. kthxbye
