Great support weapon with damage buffs and charge

Claudia's Guren Blade makes for a great support weapon with her damage buffs that boosts damage of the player and their allies that can be done through advancing the weapon to 1 and 5 Stars. Plus, it has an impressive charge value as an attack weapon that helps build charge faster to deal more discharge attacks.

Character	Weapon type	Charge Value
Zero	Support	13.00
Cocoritter	Support	12.50
Claudia	Attack	12.00
Tsubasa	Attack	11.50
Nemesis	Support	11.00

Skills have wide-range attacks good for team battles

Claudia's weapon skill, Roam, allows her to move at high speed and deal damage to up to 5 targets. Roam is an excellent skill that can be used in boss battles to nullify status ailments and halves damage taken during its activation. Though damage is reduced by 20%, getting to 6 Stars Advacement cancels this damage reduction.

Adds to Grevious debuffs with Physical Resonance

Claudia not only possesses Guren Blade, a weapon with the Grevious element, but also has her unique Physical Resonance that strengthens physical attacks and resistance. This resonance can be activated by equipping at least two grevious weapons.

Overpower Enemies with Grevious Attacks and Defense

In this team, Guren Blade makes for the perfect opening weapon with its high charge value that builds weapon charge faster. Switch to Chakram of the Seas through its Spirit of the Air charge attack for shattering shields of World Bosses.

Plus, Claudia's Grevious Resonance boosts physical weapon attacks immensely. However, being constantly on attack leaves you open to getting hit, so Zero's Negating Cube is there to provide healing and utility with its AOE attacks and Omnium Shield.

PvE Advancement Priorities

Claudia 3 Star: Claudia's Guren Blade is already ideal with just 1 Star that grants damage boosts for each successful skill or discharge. 3 Stars grants a decent Physical attacks buff.

Shiro 3 Star: Get Shiro to at least 3 Stars so that you get a shatter damage increase when using Full Bloom, as well as a shatter increase.

Zero 2 Star: Zero's Negating Cube increases its weapon's healing and attack respectively with his 1st and 2nd Star Advancements.

Advancement Guide

Alternative Characters and Weapons

Character / Weapon	Explanation
Echo	Echo's Thunderous Halberd is a good alternative to Shiro's Chakram of the Seas if you haven't received it yet. The spear has a decent shield breaking ability with its Shatter Value of 11, and can prove handy to shielded enemies in PvE especially since it is certain that everyone will obtain Echo early in the game.
Best Matrices
x 3
Cocoritter	Cocoritter's Absolute Zero is a great alternative to Zero' Negating Cube if you prefer more burst healing and the ability to inflict the Ice Shell debuff on the enemy.

Overwhelm Stall Teams with High Aggro

Claudia's Guren Blade will be your support DPS weapon for building charge with its high charge value, while acting as an excellent gap closer that interrupts enemy healing. Plus, her Grevious element boosts charged weapon damage.

Build enough charge to allow for Frigg's and Meryl's discharge attacks. Exploit Meryl's Frost Barrier especially to keep them within your range of attacks and prevent them from healing. Frigg's Balmung also have a Frost Resonance that boosts frost damage and resistance.

Alternative Characters and Weapons

Character / Weapon	Explanation
Nemesis	Nemesis's Venus is a great alternative to Meryl's Rosy Edge as its discharge attack stuns enemies for a time, substituting Meryl's Frost Barrier discharge.
