Recommended Skills+ : Phys+4, Def-20, Revive
Recommended Types: Ace > Fast : Chaotic > Powerful : Brave : Cool > Intelligent : Sexy
Recommended Types+ : Ace+ > Sonic : Bold > Berserk : Stalwart : Cool+ : Wise > Erotic

Recommended Types+ : Ace+ > Wise : Sonic > Stalwart : Cool+ > Erotic : Bold : Berserk
General Description : Bune holds the title of being one of the only gamble 4*s in the game but falls short to other gamble cards is his abysmal stats and only having Death +2 as his optimal skill. Choosing him as an elemental caster is not a choice since they're many other's that'll have better performance than him. Bune isn't the worst card, due to his WIS 20% buff and Revive, so he fares well against other 4* and some 5*.

Recommended Types+ : Ace+ > Sonic : Bold : Wise > Berserk : Cool+ : Stalwart > Erotic
General Description : Power is a well-rounded fighter, like Jotunn and is able to cast both physical and elemental type attacks. Power frequently outclasses Jotunn because his stats are more superior, being more fast and powerful than him, but he also falls short of being more frail. Post-rebirth brings him the same results, having a WIS/ATK 10% buff.

Pros : High WIS, pretty high ATK and AGI. Learns AGI +30% before and after rebirth, except after rebirth it learns AGI/WIS+10 to complement WIS and AGI.

Cons : Low DEF, pretty low HP. If his strike doesn't destroy a phys tanker, he could be done for.

Recommended Skills : Elem+4, Elem+3, Agi+20

GCX Link : Taowu
Caster Type : Physical

Pros : Pretty high HP, ATK, and DEF. Learns DEF+20% before RB. Has last stand. After RB it learns ATK+20%

Cons :Best attack it learns is poison+2, Low AGI and MP

Rebirth Skill : Atk+20%

Original Skills : Poison+1, Def+10, Def+20, Poison+2, Last Stand

Recommended Skills : Phys+3, Def+20, Last Stand || Elem+3, Def+20, Last Stand
Recommended Skills+ : Phys+3, Atk+20, Last Stand
Recommended Types : Ace > Fast : Chaotic : Brave > Powerful : Cool > Sexy : Intelligent
Recommended Types+ : Ace+ > Sonic : Bold : Stalwart > Berserk : Cool+ > Erotic : Wise
General Description : Taowu is more of a below average guardian with mediocre stats and no good offensive. He is usually paired up with Horus with LS or even other 5*. After Rebirth, he gets ATK 20%, which will boost him up to a Physical attacker. On paper, Taowu is more of an utility than an offensive.

---

Name : Atar

 
GCX Link : Atar
Caster Type : Physical

Pros : High DEF, pretty high HP attack and WIS. Can be used as elemental or physical attacker. Learns WIS +20 after RB to complement the fire +3.

Cons : Low MP, moderately low attack.

Rebirth Skill : Wis+20%

Original Skills : Fire+2, Heal, Fire+3, Atk+20, Quick Strike

Recommended Skills : Quick Strike, Atk+20, Phys+3
Recommended Skills+ : Quick Strike, Wis+20, Elem+3 || Quick Strike, Atk+20, Phys+3
Recommended Types : Ace > Fast : Chaotic : Powerful > Brave : Cool > Sexy : Intelligent
Recommended Types+ : Ace+ > Sonic : Bold : Berserk > Stalwart : Cool+ > Erotic : Wise
General Description : Atar has no particular weaknesses except of his odd moveset that consists of an ATK buff and an Elemental attack pre-rebirth, but I am on the assumption that the buff is for Quick Strike. After Rebirth you can use him as either a Physical or Elemental skillset because his rebirth skill is WIS 20% and his WIS and ATK are very similar, off about 10 - 20 points.

---

Name : Aym

 
GCX Link : Aym
Caster Type : Physical/Gamble

Pros : High ATK, with atk +30 post rebirth to inflict huge damage. Learns wis/atk +10% after RB.

Recommended Types : Ace > Fast : Chaotic : Powerful > Brave : Cool > Sexy : Intelligent
Recommended Types+ : Ace+ > Sonic : Bold : Berserk > Stalwart : Cool+ > Erotic : Wise
General Description : Aym is similar to Hecatoncheir in many ways except that he has far more ATK and AGI than the aforementioned but he also has one fallback, which is Physical+2, meaning Physical+3 is only provided using skill stones. He also has Self-Destruct which isn't recommended because it will hurt his damage potential.

General Description : Isis makes a decent choice of having very nice AGI and WIS and MP but isn't the best guardian because she's an Earth guardian and lacks a relevant buff, but she makes up for it for having a -20% WIS debuff so she can still deal decent elemental damage.

---

Caster Type : Physical

Pros : Very High DEF, High HP and ATK. Can tank. Learns Last Stand and atk/def +10% before RB. After RB it learns DEF +20.

INVITATION BONUS CAMPAIGN

Name : Cerberus

GCX Link : Cerberus
Caster Type : Elemental

Pros :

Cons :

Rebirth Skill : Wis+20%

Original Skills : Fire+2, Def+10, Fire+3, Def+20, Agi+20

Recommended Skills : Def+20, Agi+20, Elem+3
Recommended Skills+ : Wis+20, Elem+3, Elem+3
Recommended Types : Ace > Intelligent : Fast > Brave : Cool : Sexy > Chaotic : Powerful
Recommended Types+ : Ace+ > Wise : Sonic > Stalwart : Cool+ : Erotic > Bold : Berserk
General Description : Cerberus was available during two events: The First Referral Campaign and the FFIV guardian campaign, so he is quite rare and a collector's card. In your deck lineup, he makes a decent choice as an elemental caster and also possesses an AGI and DEF 20% buff. Post-rebirth he gets a WIS 20% buff which will increase his damage output. Overall, Cerberus isn't one of the best choice but certainly not the worse.

---

Name : Anahita

GCX Link : Anahita
Caster Type : Elemental

Pros :

Cons :

Rebirth Skill : Wis+20%

Original Skills :Water+2, Wis+10, Heal, Water+3, Def+20
Recommended Skills : Wis+10, Def+20, Elem+3
Recommended Skills+ : Wis+10, Wis+20, Elem+3
Recommended Types : Cool
Recommended Types+ : Cool+
General Description : Anahita was very common during the beginning of the Second Referral Campaign. She is a decent elemental caster because of her WIS 10% buff and also has a 20% DEF buff. Her healing skill is not recommended because it'll cause her to use normal attack while she is alive, which isn't recommended as she has her WIS buff to use. Post-rebirth she obtains a 20% WIS buff which will greatly improve her elemental damage. Anahita isn't one of the best choices, but she won't disappoint you most days.

Name : Peri

GCX Link : Peri
Caster Type : Elemental

Pros :

Cons :

Rebirth Skill : Def/Wis+10%

Original Skills : Fire+2, Wis-20, MP Absorb, Fire+3, Wis+20

Recommended Skills : Wis-20, Wis+20, Elem+3
Recommended Skills+ : Def/Wis+10, Wis+20, Elem+3 || Wis-20, Wis+20, Elem+3
Recommended Types : Cool
Recommended Types+ : Cool+
General Description : Out of all of her sisters, Peri is the most recommended choice. She has very high damage output because of already decent base WIS and also a 20% WIS buff and debuff. Post-rebirth brings her WIS/DEF 10% buff which isn't recommended over her debuff. Even though Peri only is available Cool-typed, she will not betray your expectations.

---

Name : Virtus

GCX Link : Virtus
Caster Type : Physical

Pros :

Cons :

Rebirth Skill : Wis-20%

Original Skills : Light+2, Agi+20, Light+3, Wis+20, Atk+20

Recommended Skills : Agi+20, Wis+20, Elem+3
Recommended Skills+ : Wis-20, Wis+20, Elem+3
Recommended Types : Cool
Recommended Types+ : Cool+
General Description : Virtus out of her sisters is the more balanced, as she possesses equal WIS and ATK and several buffs, but her main drawbacks is her low damage output and low AGI, which means she is outclassed by Peri. Post-rebirth gives her -20% WIS debuff, but it'll match her moveset with Peri, so she isn't the worse choice, but Peri is recommended.
