Guide

No S/A/B tier rating is stated in the text; the following is the KR-server NamuWiki community opinion. It was written before the 2026-03-10 rework, so its class, weapon and artifact numbers describe the older kit; the sections above carry the current values.

"Genesis War Mobile's greatest cheerleader/rally captain." His biggest strength is that he learns as many as 3 shout-type skills, and by combining his unique passive with class traits he can double-stack shouts in a single turn to build buffs quickly. On top of that, shout skills fully apply to himself too, and he has excellent damage skills like Sky-Fall Blade and Thunderburst Slash, so he has plenty of aptitude as a burst dealer. At launch, even Sara, then a first-tier tanker, would get wiped out by a single Sky-Fall Blade from a Storm Knight Medici who leaped 8 tiles after receiving buffs, so after Medici's release he became rare in the arena.

However, in January 2025 the Black Prince arrived with the insane buff-counter AoE "Atomic Blast," which deals 30% ATK AoE damage per buff and applies a buff-acquisition-block debuff, so buffs could now backfire. So while he was previously treated as a must-pick, since the Black Prince his deployment must be approached quite carefully.

Class notes (KR-server community opinion):

  • Command Knight: strong shout-skill synergy; the tree grants 2 shout-type buff skills; using a shout gives (once per turn) a 2-turn damage-reduction + ATK buff, an extra attack/skill use, and removes 1 debuff from the targeted ally. Great synergy with the mostly-buffer Medici, and strong in PVP due to debuff removal. But since Resist Commander has both damage and buffs and is so good, and the Command Knight training tree ends with only 2 buff skills, it is not ideal to pick in the early training phase; worth using in PVP once you have core skills.
  • Storm Knight: the class that learns the exclusive skill Thunderburst Slash; when attacked by enemies within 2 tiles, damage taken and enemy crit chance drop 25%, and with 3+ buffs held, ATK rises by 50%. Medici easily reaches 3 buffs (1 from passive by default plus many self-buff skills), but it is the only class that does NOT gain an extra attack/skill after a shout. Pick this if you want to run Medici as a dealer.
  • Resist Commander: rides the Resistance-Resist Commander exclusive tree, learning Medici's core exclusive skills Sky-Fall Blade and March Shout. Its passive uniquely gives +50% ATK and up to 35% damage reduction when debuffed or below 100% HP, plus (like Command Knight) an extra attack/skill after a shout. Recommended to prioritize because of Sky-Fall Blade and March Shout, and good enough as a finisher class.
  • Combo: Command Knight and Resist Commander gain an extra attack/skill after a shout; using Dash there creates an extra movement, effectively upgrading it to a full extra action. So you can solo the combo: open with March Shout (TP3), use Dash (TP1) to move extra and approach, then finish one enemy with a distance-scaled Sky-Fall Blade (TP2). Possible thanks to the full-payback unique passive.

Core skills and ultimate (KR-server community opinion):

  • Sky-Fall Blade: single-target attack from Resistance. Consumes 2 TP, grants "Fighting Spirit" (ATK/spell power +20% for 2 turns), strikes for 210% (!) ATK; crit chance is fixed at 1%. On kill, grants Fighting Spirit to other allies within 8 surrounding tiles. Compared to typical single-target multipliers of ~150-170, this is huge and only 2 TP, balanced by the fixed 1% crit (so crits effectively never trigger). Low ceiling, but conversely no need to raise crit chance; a hard counter to Valkyrie, who has a passive preventing crits.
  • March Shout: buff skill from Resist Commander. Removes all action-control debuffs from allies within 3 tiles and applies "Resistance Army's March" for 2 turns (movement +1, immune to action-control), with ATK +4% per tile moved. Very useful because Fighter-line movement is only 3.
  • Thunderburst Slash: AoE from Storm Knight. 170% ATK electric damage to a single target, 70% ATK to adjacent enemies, and applies the no-counter debuff "Electrocution." Excellent multiplier plus debuff and AoE. (Trivia: in the original it was Thunderburst "Sword," slightly changed.)
  • Vigor Shout: from Knight; grants "Vigor" (once, after melee attack gain extra attack/skill) for 2 turns to self and adjacent allies.
  • Battle Shout: from Command Knight; grants "Battle Stance" for 2 turns (ATK +25%, DEF/RES +25%) to allies within 3 tiles.
  • Ultimate True Heaven-Earth Crusher: cross-shaped AoE (8 surrounding tiles plus 6 tiles in front/back/left/right); deals 100% ATK then an extra 50% ATK defense-ignoring damage. No side effects, but high multiplier, wide range, defense-piercing, so quite powerful. Vs Karls's Heaven-Earth Rupture Dance: same range, normal-hit multiplier +30%, defense-ignore multiplier -20%, net +10% total, so stronger vs low-defense enemies but weaker vs tanks.

Recommended gear (KR-server community opinion):

  • Exclusive weapon Victoria Armada (Armada in original): sub-stat is ATK%. Grants self "Vanguard March" buff (single-target skill damage up + ATK up) when buffing allies with a skill, and a weapon skill that on a killing "battle attack" reduces (by chance) the cooldown of the longest-remaining-cooldown skill by 1. At 5-awaken, Vanguard March adds movement +1. Good for dealer or buffer Medici; but contributes nothing to team buffs and is self-only, so if running purely as buffer it is less necessary.
  • Other recommended Legendary weapon: Elizabeth's exclusive Moonlight Rose, which adds an ATK buff to buffed targets. Medici's March/Battle shouts are wide-range, so the ATK buff spreads with them; using Battle Shout, the ATK buff reaches 35% (broken performance). Also when Sky-Fall Blade kills and spreads Fighting Spirit, another ATK buff attaches, so ATK buffs never stop. So this is the finisher for buffer use; its blue blade also matches Medici's blue coloring.
  • Armor: crit is not very important, so use flat-ATK or HP sets, e.g. Nangcheon's motif Ilgidangcheon set or G.S's motif Pungun set (proper build). At Hero grade, Hyeobgaek 2 with Seonim 2 or Salsu 2 recommended.
  • Accessories: any is fine, but Wolf Fang (ATK up + penetration buff) is best for damage; Amulet of Wound Worsening (ATK up, received crit chance reduction, healing-reduction on melee-attacked targets) is also common, as is its Legendary version Thorn of Agony. At Legendary grade it varies by class:
  • Dealer Storm Knight: Balance Blade (ATK buff) is sometimes recommended at Legendary grade, since Sky-Fall Blade's crit won't trigger anyway.
  • Buffer Resist Commander: Ancient Hero's Ring is recommended; but because the class passive reduces received crit chance, its heal-on-crit-hit rarely triggers. Stopwatch is sometimes used for a faster skill cycle.

KR Creator Guide

Character review of Roberto de Medici (filmed before his rework) by 하막군의게임튜브 · 2026-08-04

Another older character revisited after a rework, and the reviewer's verdict is that this one landed: Medici is now close to a permanent fixture on his attack deck. Everything below describes the reworked kit. (0:00, 0:31, 9:40)

Prelude to Revolution, rebuilt

At the start of the match he grants Soaring Falcon to Zephyr Falcon allies — physical penetration, magic penetration and Max HP — and the rework's headline change is that he now receives it himself, where before he was excluded. He puts the combined Max HP at +50%: 30% from his own line plus 20% from the buff.

The buff also raises skill range by 1 for allies whose basic attack range is 3 or more, so it reaches gunners like Kana Milanovich and Chris. He points out one case it doesn't cover: Cyrano Bernstein's Soul Drain has 3 range, but that's a skill's range and not a basic attack's, so it doesn't qualify.

Heart of the Resistance was toned down in exchange. (0:31, 1:01, 1:31)

One caveat on that headline change: the KR patch note that introduced the buff has it going to other Zephyr Falcon allies, with Medici himself taking Heart of the Resistance instead, and our kit follows the patch note. The reviewer is playing six months later and his +50% Max HP arithmetic only works if he does receive it, so treat the self-buff as his in-game observation.

Prelude to Revolution stacks for every buff he gives an ally and every debuff he applies, six stacks maximum, each carrying attack, defence and critical-hit-chance-received reduction. Since he buffs two effects at a time, he says three allies is enough to cap it immediately — so treat six stacks as his permanent state, and don't bother with critical-damage-taken reduction anywhere in the build, because nothing crits him. (1:31, 2:02, 2:33)

The TP refund when he ends a skill on 0 TP is unchanged, and it's what lets him hand out two buffs in a turn. (2:33)

Class: Storm Knight to attack, Resist Commander to support

Command Knight+3 more → he dismisses outright. The real choice is between two.

Storm Knight+1 more → gives +35% attack and physical penetration while holding three or more buffs — which is always — and a flat -50% damage taken. That reduction decays 5% per tile of distance, so a ranged attacker three tiles out only faces -35%. It's the attacking pick, and it also brings Thunder Flame Slash+1 more →, which pairs with his artifact. (2:33, 3:03, 3:33)

Resist Commander grants an extra attack or skill after a Shout — the second buff in a turn — and at the start of the turn, if he is carrying a debuff or isn't at full health, +50% attack and -40% damage taken until his next turn.

That condition is deliberately awkward, and the reviewer points out how it's meant to be met: Eye of the Storm deals him 1 point of lightning damage, so he is never at full health at turn start. The design forces the artifact.

Unlike Storm Knight's, this 40% doesn't decay with distance, which he notes may actually be the steadier option in a metagame full of ranged attackers. Below 50% health it adds another 10%, though he's realistic that Medici at half health is in trouble. (3:33, 4:04, 4:35)

Gear

He runs the exclusive weapon. The alternative people use is Elizabeth Pandragon's Moonlight Rose, and he prefers Victoria Armada: skill range, physical penetration, attack, Max HP, +1 movement, and cooldown reduction on a kill — all of it live from simply casting a buff.

Armour is Envoy of the Storm with Scorpion of the Underworld, chosen for health, on the reasoning that a cheerleader has to survive to cheer. Accessory: Black Banner is the best, but he only owns one and it's on another Zephyr Falcon unit, so he's using Ancient Hero's Ring. (5:36, 6:07, 6:37, 7:09)

The artifact is the build

Eye of the Storm he calls overwhelmingly good, and lists why: attack and Crit Rate +30% at turn start, another 30% critical-hit-chance-received reduction, and after attacking, Storm's Guard (a shield plus resistance) and Withdraw, which is a move after the attack. At 2 TP or less it grants Focus and another TP. Lightning skills cut its cooldown — which is how Thunder Flame Slash+1 more → ends up castable three turns running. And its Storm's Trial is the 1 point of fixed damage that switches on Resist Commander.

His summing up is that not running it costs you several things at once, so it isn't really optional. Horn of Valhalla is the same effect as Elizabeth's Moonlight Rose and only makes sense on a pure-support build; Attribute Overload+8 more → goes unmentioned. (7:09, 7:39, 8:09)

The weapon wants ★5

Below ★5 he'd rather have Moonlight Rose, because ★5 is where the +1 movement appears. Medici buffs from the back line and then has to catch up with the team, which he says is genuinely hard without it. (8:39)

Runes

His own are years old and he hasn't changed them. His recommendation is Chaos/Chaos, Ultimate/Ultimate, Sun/Moon for health — and explicitly not the popular Sun in slots 3 and 5 for critical-damage-taken reduction, because with his crit-chance-received reduction nothing crits him anyway. (9:09, 9:40)

Verdict

A well-executed rework. Heart of the Resistance at four stacks gives 20% ranged damage reduction, which stacks with Resist Commander's 40% for 60% against ranged attacks, or 70% on Storm Knight+1 more → — and it's precisely the hole Storm Knight's distance decay leaves open. At the more realistic three deployed allies it's 15%, still worth having.

Soaring Falcon is the other reason to field him: a Cyrano Bernstein with Medici behind him is, in his words, extremely strong.

The caveat is the same one he gives for every older character: below full awakening they're hard to use. Buff-and-retreat works at 3★, but the Max HP, the percentage lines and the improved Soaring Falcon all want full investment. Support build takes Resist Commander; attack build takes Storm Knight+1 more →. (9:40, 10:12, 10:43, 11:14, 11:44)
