Overview

Summer Ayer plays much like his regular version, but on an SR level rather than an SSR level. That said, his kit is easier to work with and is better for newer players without many Earth units or a developed grid.

Strengths

  • Great damage dealer, especially with Enmity.
  • Kit is easier to manage than his SSR version's, especially for new players.

Weaknesses

  • Harder to micromanage HP due to Blazing Break using up 40% HP with each use.
  • Blazing Break's effect only lasts 5 turns, meaning you might not be able to reapply it after the effect wears off if his HP is too low.
  • Needs strong support to draw Hostility away from him or mitigate damage.
  • Regular SSR version far outclasses Summer version in damage, so there is little reason to use the Summer version if you have both.

How to Play

Synergy

Characters

  • Sara or Sara (Summer): Both versions can redirect hostility to her to lower the chances that Ayer will be targeted, and have a party damage cut for enemy specials that target the entire party.
  • De La Fille (Earth): A great support unit for Ayer, providing Status Heal.pngRefreshHP is restored on every turn

    usually runs counter to Enmity, Summer Ayer's Blazing Break has a shorter duration and higher HP cost, so the amount healed back can be easily dropped while re-applying Blazing Break's effect.
