Guide

  • The first Legendary Monk, and a playable 5-star able to use Sun Light (the skill), which had not appeared in a while.
  • As a Seopung final-boss-caliber unit, he arrives armed with a strong passive and skills capable of heal/damage/survival all at once, a fairly powerful signature weapon, and a distinctive, strategically usable ultimate, making him worth using.
  • Big drawback: in World Boss Raids (a current main content), auto-play is forced, so his AI fires the ultimate whenever TP is full, unconditionally killing one ally. This makes him seen as a troll worse than teleporting units that break flanking formations, so his use there is effectively barred. (People rushed him into raids for the new "hospitality" buff and got burned.)
  • Passive "False Miracle": toggles him between full-HP and playing-dead states. If not killed in one turn, he revives at full HP next turn while dealing AoE damage and AoE healing. Spell power boost is welcome since most of his kit scales off spell power. Very hard to deal with in PVP (must one-turn-kill). But he is light armor so dies easily, and the passive triggers on "character turn end," so stun / action-denial disables it. While in the played-dead "corpse" state, position-control skills still work on him (can be pulled with Dark Embrace / Unreal Black Hole, or pushed with Ming-Ming Burst), which can be used to adjust where his revive AoE heal/damage lands.
  • Tier 3 classes: HighPriest (supports adjacent allies' Spell/Def/Res, learns Sun Light, but no self-benefit, low raise priority), Autocrat (learns "Fanatic Boon"; strong PVP-leaning class that halves one enemy dealer's firepower via "Blood Oppression," low raid value since raid bosses have mediocre attack "and you can't use him in raids anyway due to the ult"), and God Hand (learns "Miracle Recover"; the only class with no adjacent-ally requirement, most fitting and most recommended since Cesare must be front-line for his passive; Miracle Recover is a strong recovery skill).
  • Key skills: Blasphemous (AoE + unremovable "Cannot Heal" debuff; synergizes with Diene's exclusive weapon Justice Crusader; high TP cost, long cooldown), Fanatic Boon (buff that boosts damage/survival and grants re-action but removes manual control - AI takes over; fine for auto play or World Boss Raid), Miracle Recover (heal + near-invincibility, only 1 TP, must-take; only flaw is 3-turn cooldown), Sun Light (top-tier light magic doing damage + heal + buff-strip + debuff-cleanse; high TP but worth it).
  • Ultimate "Twisted Sacrifice": sacrifices one ally (kills them) to create a "Sacred Land" zone for 3 turns; excellent zone effect. Can minimize the penalty by casting on units with revive skills, on self-destruct passive Omega, or on core-summoning Prios to blow up all cores. Cannot sacrifice summons or Cesare himself ("because he can't laugh next to the pyre if he burns himself").
  • Equipment: signature weapon "Ark of Injustice" staff (bonus stats Spell Power + HP); when allies within 2 tiles attack, heal 15%~40% of spell power, and after skill use gain "Tainted Revelation" at 50%~100% chance (magic penetration +15%~40%, damage taken -15%~40%, extra action after combat attack; 2 turns; cooldown 2). High-performance heal/damage/tank weapon, though the 100% proc only at 6-star is a letdown. Armor: Chancellor 4-set, or Pope 4-set for cooldown reduction; accessories: Stopwatch for spell power + cooldown, or Hero-grade Chalice of Devotion to focus on healing.
  • No verbatim S/A/B tier letter rating is present in the text.
