Babel Tips
0:00 Tip 1
Since her shield auto triggers after an enemy attacks the party for the first time, best to play her passively. She just has to just stand there.
2:58 Tip 2
Since your team needs to be hit (especially when Boss is going to use Ultimate) to trigger Babel's shield, you might still need a healer in a long fight OR actively cast her shield whenever her shield is not active (every 2 rounds).
4:35 Tip 3
When manually casting Babel's shield, make it the first incantation selected, the shield provides crit%. More shield value = More crit. If you have an extra AP, use it to cast her shield for more crit%. Her shield stacking provides more defense and crit%.
[A New Wave] Rank 1 will provide 210% of def. 1200 Def will provide approximately 2500 HP worth of shield which also equates to 8% of crit rate. Stacking the shield can grant about 16% of crit rate.
7:38 Tip 4
The first shield will last for 2 Rounds, subsequent cast of [A New Wave] will stack and not renew the shield's Round. Hence, unless to stack shields, don't actively cast [A New Wave] if her shields are still active.
To maintain her shield active all the time
Round 1: Cast Shield, + FUA Shield will stack
Round 2: Shield has not expired - so don't cast shield, FUA Shield will stack
Round 3: All shields will dispel
*Even if we actively cast the shield in Round 2, all shield will still dissapear in Round 3 as the base shield was casted in Round 1.
