Damage analysis

Damage scaling from +0 to +5

To kick things off, I thought I’d give the newly released Blood Glutton Justia a spin and see how it fares when going toe-to-toe with those pesky dark type creatures in PVE combat. Let’s dive right in!

As a baseline, let’s assume our Justia has 3000 ATK and 50% base Light damage. This should be comfortably achievable with a Justia that is fully geared, bonded and engraved (though you can go even further with awakening and optimizing gear substats).

BG Justia’s property damage buff is added on top of her base Light damage (not multiplied).

Consequently, bypassing any chain multipliers, a 3000 Attack Power (ATK) BG Justia at level 0 inflicts a flat damage of 15,750 against Dark type opponents, as it multiplies its own ATK value by 150% and 350%.

Conversely, the 3000 Attack Power Battle Girl Justia at maximum potential delivers a fixed damage of 56,100 when facing Dark-type opponents, with her attack multiplied by 340% and 550%.

It’s quite evident that there’s a significant difference in the extent of damage between a +0 and a +5 full potential upgrade (an over 4-fold increase in power). At lower costume levels, character BG.Justia appears quite feeble. To make BG.Justia capable of dealing high fixed damage, you’ll need to invest substantially.

Comparison with other Light attackers

Secondly, let’s look at how BG.Justia performs in terms of PVE damage. In summary, BG.Justia allows Justia to deal a lot more damage in PVE (even though she can’t crit), but Justia is still not as good as other light attackers like Yuri, Michaela and Sacred Justia (who can crit). Maths reasons below.

In summary, a fully-upgraded BG.Justia with a 3000 attack power deals a fixed damage of 56,100 against dark types. While this might seem quite potent on its own, it significantly amplifies in power when used in combination with other Justia costumes.

Blood Glutton’s 400% property damage buff lasts 8 turns (so it can buff your next 3 attacks), and
You can also use Pool Party before Blood Glutton, which gives Justia a further 300% ATK buff for 12 turns.

As a result, when combined, the Pool Party + Blood Glutton setup provides roughly these damage statistics against Justia’s dark-type costumes.

Costume	ATK	Light dmg	Skill dmg	Total dmg
Kendo Club	400%	550%	759%	500,940
Knight of Blood	400%	550%	660%	435,600
White Reaper	400%	550%	625%	412,500

While it’s challenging to make precise comparisons, let’s attempt an approximate comparison with these light attackers instead:

[Your content here]

CI Yuri (buffed by WB Yuri): assume baseline 2000 ATK, 500% crit damage, 50% Light damage. The two costume combo gives a 110% attack buff and 100% crit buff.
QOS Michaela: assume 1800 M.ATK, 600% crit damage, 50% light damage.
Sacred Justia: assume 1750 ATK, 600% crit damage, 50% light damage. Assume also that she hits 7 enemies (1000% skill damage).

The table provides an approximate comparison, without considering additional protections, between the costumes and Justia in terms of raw damage they can inflict.

Costume	ATK	Light dmg	Crit dmg	Skill dmg	Total dmg
CI Yuri	210%	150%	600%	780%	294,840
QOS Michaela	100%	150%	600%	1287%	231,660
Sacred Justia	100%	150%	600%	1000%	180,000

Just looking at these raw numbers, it seems like Justia is the winner. However, this is before taking into account the effect of external buffs. After taking into account the effect of external buffers, Justia becomes a lot weaker in comparison. This is because having multiple buffs of the same kind (i.e. multiple ATK buffs, or multiple property buffs) gives you diminishing returns. To illustrate this, see how adding AOTU.Diana’s buff (220% property damage) changes things:

For BG.Justia, going from a 550% property damage multiplier to 770% represents 40% increase in damage by adding Diana.
For everyone else, going from 150% property damage to 370% property damage represents a 147% increase in damage by adding Diana.

So, let’s assume that you buff each of the above attackers with a B.Helena or DS.Liberta (115% ATK/M.ATK) and a AOTU.Diana (220% property damage). Now the total damage becomes as follows:

Costume	ATK	Light dmg	Crit dmg	Skill dmg	Total dmg
Kendo Club	515%	770%	N/A	759%	902,944
Knight of Blood	515%	770%	N/A	660%	785,169
White Reaper	515%	770%	N/A	625%	743,531
Yuri – Comeback Idol	325%	370%	600%	780%	1,125,540
QOS Michaela	215%	370%	600%	1287%	1,228,570
Sacred Justia	215%	370%	600%	1000%	954,600

In PVE, you are almost always using multiple buffers to maximize damage. As you can see, when used with other buffers, Justia is good, but just not as good as other light attackers with crit damage.

Justia for PVE

What the above analysis tells us is that Justia is not the best Light attacker for PVE in terms of damage. She also requires 2 player turns to set up the Pool Party + Blood Glutton buffs, which limits her utility in short PVE battles.

For long battles such as fiend hunts and guild raids. Justia is also hard to use because her skills (other than Blood Glutton) have a relatively small AOE, and it’s hard to consistently hit weak spots because the areas of the White Reaper, Knight of Blood and Kendo Club skills don’t line up at all.

Overall, this means that Justia is not bad for long PVE battles if you have all her costumes (including Pool Party and Blood Glutton), but she is still a lot worse than other strong light attackers that can crit. You should not invest in Justia expecting a top tier PVE attacker.

As a devoted fan, I’ve got to say that when it comes to PVE challenges, Tower of Pride is where BG.Justia truly shines! Interestingly, about 3 out of every 6 levels in this tower are populated by ominous dark enemies. But

Justia for PVP

Whilst Justia is not the best for PVE, Justia is one of the best for PVP thanks to her low cost, fixed damage skills that bypass DEF and M.RES.

Blood Glutton is one of Justia’s best costumes for PVP. One big reason is that Blood Glutton is the only attack costume in the game that hits in a 3×3 AOE for only 2 SP. The fact that she can deal fixed damage in such a large area for such a low cost makes her outstanding value.

The main drawback to BG.Justia, though, is the relatively low damage. A BG.Justia +5 full potential with 3000 ATK does 10,200 fixed damage against non-dark enemies. This is enough to kill most low HP enemies, but not tankier enemies with high base HP or HP gearing. With a DS.Liberta ATK buff, BG.Justia’s damage increases to 21,930 fixed damage: enough to take out most enemies, but again not quite enough to clear tanks or enemies guarded by RH.Rou or AD.Diana. With a Pool Party Justia ATK buff, she can take out pretty much anything.

Since BG.Justia’s damage is relatively low even at max power, it’s pretty much essential to have Blood Glutton at +5 full potential in order to work well in PVP. You also need strong ATK gearing or else you run the risk of having not enough damage and missing lethal. BG.Justia at lower costume levels is significantly worse, so low costume levels of BG.Justia are not recommended for PVP. E.g. at +1 no potential, BG.Justia deals only 3,750 fixed damage, which would usually not be enough to deal lethal damage.

Exclusive Gear

Having Justia’s exclusive weapon is recommended. The most important stat for Justia is ATK, and her exclusive weapon gives her more of it. Tune stats and substats to ATK or ATK% where you can.

Conclusion

Blood Glutton Justia, primarily a Player vs Player (PVP) character, excels due to her large Area of Effect (AOE), compact cost, and fixed damage that disregards Defense (DEF) and Magic Resistance (M.RES). In battles, she proves strong against opponents with low health and high resistance, particularly dark adversaries such as Seir. However, she is vulnerable against enemies with evasion abilities and those equipped with energy shields (like RH.Rou).

If you’re keen on using Justia in your PVP team and have already developed high-level Justia costumes, this applies to you. To excel in intense PVP battles with BG.Justia, it is advisable to upgrade her potential to +5. Failing to do so may leave her damage output lacking compared to other Justias. This is because her skill damage, while powerful, lags behind that of other costumes in the same tier.
