JPN PSA Confirmation that Brook's Captain Ability does not trigger when Despaired

Despair cancels CA, so this is the expected behavior.
Could you please test Bind too? Bind cancels the attack boost from CA, but not hp boost. So not sure about this.

Awesome. Good to see he doesn't get invalidated by Bind.

If it did, he’d instantly would be near the bottom of the legend list lol.

I mean , it's not like he will see use as a captain out of zombie teams..
There are legends stronger than him but weaker than the top units that see little play

I hope i don't get downvoted into oblivion, but ins't the despair video in a forest? IIRC, you can't continue on them.

That is a good observation, I'm sure someone will prove it soon enough.7
u/Erickj Combo based characters suck Aug 30 '18
We saw Brook’s effect working in the forest when the video of character descriptions came out.

WCI Pedro will get a +5 that will get rid of all Despair at the cost of himself being blown away.

And he’s suddenly that much worse. Would like to see more tests (if it works when bound, blown away, captain swap, and if it works twice with double brook). I’d imagine more tests soon after the sugo starts

u/Min91 Promising Rookie Aug 30 '18
Bound, maybe. I mean, I think CA trigger when bound, right? As for the rest, makes sense if it didn't.

u/Kami_Blake_Aur Aug 30 '18
CA kinda triggers. From my experience the attack multiplier no longer works, but the hp boost is still fine. I can’t remember about other effects (Shirahoshi’s heal for example) and damage reduction (from CA alone) doesn’t stand out much

Nice, thanks for that. I just know that if I luck out and get a red on the 11th from the 2nd multi, it'll be him.

u/ChocoNat GL: 848534566 Aug 30 '18
Thanks for clarifying his CA. Now, can you test his special as well, especially this part:
Recovers 14,343, reduces damage received by 90% for 1 turn and makes STR, DEX, QCK, PSY and INT orbs "beneficial" for all characters for 2 turns. If the HP of the enemy with the highest Maximum HP is below 434,300, instantly defeats all enemies, otherwise, delays all enemies for 1 turn, cuts the current HP of each enemy by 20%.
For example, in a Stage 18 or 19 of a 0-stamina forest with multiple enemies, can you eliminate all enemies with Brook's special just by bringing the highest max HP enemy below 434300?

It doesn't state, that the maximum HP have to be below 434300. Read it again yourself
2
u/xBsh3rx Aug 30 '18
Of course you can. It doesn't say that the Maximum HP of the enemy with the highest maximum HP has to be below 434,300. It just says that the current HP of the enemy with the highest maximum HP has to be below 434,300

You're right, my bad, i slept only 2 hours tonight and read it wrong! Really interesting if it works that way, pulled brook only and i'd love to see him become useful.

That's really lame. How about when bound?

u/antonlabz Aug 30 '18
I will test.

u/EpicV_Z <--- best waifu 818 303 041@GLB Aug 30 '18
Bind disables the attack boost from CA while keeps the hp boost, so it might worth a test.

The hatred for Legend Brook is really there in these comments. It’s scary

It’s not hatred. He’s just not that good as we thought.

u/Senmaroll JUDGE ONLY Aug 31 '18
Tbh I don’t see thing being really bad. It’s not like there are units called DESPAIR REDUCER and there are no fights nowadays where despair is even a problem. The only scenario would be if the enemy despairs for like a million turns or despairs and attacks immediately ( which doesn’t really happen at all)

u/x3bo33 Promising Rookie Aug 30 '18
I gues he is not as good as we expected. I mean, why would you use a captain to die and "revive" instead of a captain who can actually finish the run without dying or relying on a stupid mechanic like this.
6
u/Kami_Blake_Aur Aug 30 '18
He isn’t nearly as good as thought of. He isn’t even as good of an option as another zombie lead since his effect only works once per map. Really disappointed in this brook legend
6
u/x3bo33 Promising Rookie Aug 30 '18
Yeah and a conditional 2.75x boost at 2018, really ?
3
u/Kami_Blake_Aur Aug 30 '18
Tfw 6+ Cora has a higher conditional boost than 2018 newly released very hyped legend brook.
Honestly bandai could have made him a good legend if they made him a 3.25x rainbow boost with the gimmick of revive. The ability isn’t nearly as broken as bandai seems to think it is, especially when it can still be stopped by effects like despair. There already exists zombie teams that clear all content. Brook being a solid lead with 1 extra chance compared to zombie teams infinite number, wouldn’t make him broken, just really good.

If only there was a unit that reduced despair by a lot of turns to make things a little easier for Brook.
