Overview
Eustace is a solid character for both short and long solo content, providing both damage and support. Though Splintered CellMultiattack rate and dodge rate are boosted / Deals bonus dark DMG for one-foe attacks (Can't be removed)
only affects himself and one other character, characters who provide multiattack buffs for other party members are a rarity in Dark and thus his buffs extremely useful for characters who cannot buff themselves.

Synergy
Main Character
- Mechanic: With Mechanic and Energy Maneuver, Eustace is extremely useful for 1-turn strategies with his boosted charge attack damage cap. Because Energy Maneuver will instantly fill his charge bar, he will also have Aubade du FlamekDeals bonus dark DMG for charge attacks (Can't be removed)
for additional damage after his charge attack.
- Chaos Ruler (or Dark Fencer): While a powerful support class, Chaos Ruler lacks multiattack buffs of its own, which can be rectified with Splintered CellMultiattack rate and dodge rate are boosted / Deals bonus dark DMG for one-foe attacks (Can't be removed)

- If Parazonium is set as the main character's main weapon, the bonus damage from Parazonium's charge attack will stack with Splintered Cell's.

Character Synergy
- Azazel: Both have dagger proficiencies and while Azazel can provide Blind and Poison for his own charge attack damage boost, Eustace also provides (a weaker) Blind with his charge attack. With both of their boosted charge attack damage caps, they pair together well in a Mechanic team to quickly burst down enemies.
- Ferry (Grand): Ferry provides a party-wide Charge Bar +20%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 20%
Strength: 20% for Eustace's third skill, and between Ferry's Die UmkehrungGrant another Dark ally FreigeistDouble attack rate is boosted / Triple attack rate is boosted / More likely to be attacked / Charge attack DMG is boosted / Charge attack DMG cap is boosted / Charge bar gain is boosted / Recovers once from a knockout while in effect (Can't be removed)
