Advancement Grants Deadly Sneak Attacks

Crow's Thunderblades have high ATK and make up for his low Shatter value when combined with his Sneak Attack buffs. This makes Crow a deadly stealth character.

Crouching then attacking enemies from behind deals 570% of ATK + 355, while the dual blades' weapon advancement adds extra damage when attacking targets from behind.

Powerful Discharge Attack

Orbiting Blades is Crow's discharge attack that can be activated when the weapon charge is full or Phantasia is triggered. This removes all debuffs from the wielder and deals extra ATK and lightning damage of up to 350% towards enemies.

Break Shields and Fight with Speed

The Thunderblades' Orbiting Blades and Returning Blades fires blades and hits enemies in all directions surrounding the player, making it the perfect attack against large groups in PvE.

These can gather enough charge to switch to Scythe of the Crow's Flaming Scythe discharge to deal the final blows to enemies in a given area with lingering fire damage.

Zero's Negating Cube can place a shield to yourself and to allies for 10 seconds with its Omnium Shield, while dealing damage and launching enemies that are perfect to juggle with Crow's aerial attacks.

PvE Advancement Priorities

Crow 2 Star: Get Thunderblades to 2 Star Advancement to get an attack boost of 16%. At 1 Star, it grants a 40% crit increase for sneak attacking enemies.

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

King 3 Star: King's 15% Shatter increase and burn effects at 1 Star. Then at 3 Stars grants you an extra 10% damage for each enemy that is within 6 meters from you.

Alternative Characters and Weapons

Character / Weapon	Explanation
Pepper	Pepper's Staff of Scars is a great alternative to Zero's weapon if you don't have it so that you can have Double Volt Elements instead of having Double Flame elements, as well as have her healing effects instead of shields.
Best Matrices

Echo	Echo's Thunderous Halberd is a good alternative to King's Scythe of the Crow 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.

Electrify and Paralyze Enemies with Lightning

Start the match by inflicting as much electrify debuff with Thunderblades and Venus as you can, while interchanging each weapon's skill and discharge attacks with their large AoE and high DPS.

Nemesis' electric AoE also makes it easier to stack the electricity debuff, so it's best to use Venus alongside other large AoE attacks such as Thunderblades. Zero's Negating Cube is there to add extra healing and support while also dealing damage. Plus, it grants a temporary shield to boost defense.

Alternative Characters and Weapons

Character / Weapon	Explanation
Ene	Ene's Pummeler is a good alternative to Zero's Negating Cube if you haven't received it yet. Though shield breaking is not as important in PvP, Ene's high defense and powerful blows grant the ice shell debuff and make a great substitute to Zero's shield and flame attacks.
Pepper	Pepper's Staff of Scars is a good alternative to Nemesis' Venus. The staff provides raw healing Skill and Discharge, much like Venus. It also deals Volt damage and can apply the electrify debuff.
