Congratulations, you just pulled (6+) Legend Bullet! Now what?

[u/CubeoHS]

Douglas Bullet, Demon’s Heir/Douglas Bullet, The Monster that Lost its Purpose

I was lucky enough to snag him on Anni, so it’s Bullet time! I’m treating his 6★ and 6+ the same, since they basically are.

Information (all for 6+):

• Database Link
• Class: Fighter/Driven
• HP: 4,978 ( 5,953 w/ max LB and CC)
• ATK: 1,809 ( 2,219 w/ max LB and CC)
• RCV: 0 ( 100 w/ max LB)
• Combo: 4
• Cooldown: 22 turns → 17 turns (20 turns → 15 turns w/ LB)

Captain Ability:

• Boosts ATK of STR, QCK and INT characters by 4x, their HP by 1.2x, boosts own ATK by 4.75x and makes STR, QCK and INT orbs beneficial for STR, QCK and INT characters. This character's own normal attacks count as Type Effective against all Types.

Special:

• Cuts the current HP of all enemies by 20% that will ignore damage negating abilities and barriers and deals 2x the damage dealt by this character with normal attacks to all enemies at the end of each turn for 2 turns.
• “This character” refers to the Bullet that activated the special.

Sailor Ability:

• Boosts this character's damage against QCK characters by 2x

Limit Break:

• Sailor Ability 2: Boosts own base ATK by 300 if this character is the last in the chain to attack
• Potential Ability 1: Reduce No Healing Duration (By 5 turns when maxed)
• Potential Ability 2: Reduce Slot Bind Duration (By 7 turns when maxed)
• Potential Ability 3: Critical Hit (90% chance for a 12% boost when maxed)

Support: Supports STR, QCK and INT characters

• At max lvl: Adds 9% of this character's base ATK, HP and RCV to the supported character's base ATK, HP and RCV.

Pros

• Disgusting levels of damage (4x ATK for crew and 4.75x for himself)
• Type Effectiveness against all colors, meaning Color Affinity is always another damage boost for him (and gets around ATK/Orb interrupts)
• Three beneficial orbs
• Boosts 3 colors, instead of classes
• HP Boost built in
• Special essentially means he deals triple damage (normal attack and then 2x that at end of turn), can easily clear fodder on boss stages, and lasts 2 turns
• Excellent support ability

Cons

• No built-in boosts to ATK, Orbs, etc.
• NAO nullifies his special completely

Sockets and CC

ATK/HP CCs, since his RCV is literally zero. As for sockets, the standard AH/Bind/Desp/CD/DR is fine here, since the matching orbs from his CA alleviate most orb issues.

Ships

• Hoe: I’m running out of things to write here. Use it whenever you can since it’s the best EXP boost.
• Moby Dick: This is the “serious” ship for Bullet, giving 1.4x HP.
• Blackbeard’s Ship: Also a strong option. Bullet provides the Fighter, but you’ll need to fill the rest of the requirements with the crew.
• Sun Pirates Ship/Donquixote Ship: For strictly Driven or Fighter crews.
• Coated Thousand Sunny: If you need the 50% DR from the ship special.
• Flying Dutchman: If you need the DEF DOWN for a conditional or something. For EXP just use the Hoe.
• Nostra Castello/Piece of Spadille: You could use these, technically, but they add a lot of extra restrictions.
• Queen Mama Chanter: Prevents you from using INT units but has a slightly higher ATK boost after 3 PERFECTS, plus a boost in chance for matching orbs.

Friend Captains

• Douglas Bullet, The Monster that Lost its Purpose: Double Bullet is what you’ll use a lot of the time, since there aren’t a lot of super good FCs in my opinion. But there'll still be a ton of damage coming out of the crew either way, and you’ll have two characters with universal affinity.
• Monkey D. Luffy, Gear 4- Snakeman: Probably your go-to FC if you do use one. Provides a 2 stage orb boost, chain boost, and an extra beneficial orb in his CA. You already know about him.
• Jack, Eleph-Eleph Fruit: Ancient Model User: Not really a “serious content” FC, but frankly Bullet’s allowed to get away with a Jack FC a lot of the time. Plus his special can extend Bullet’s EOT to 3 turns, letting you carry it between stages.
• Franky, The Modified Man Living his Manly Dream: Another good FC, even if he comes with some class restriction. The General is excellent for Fighters like Bullet, and he also has blow-away protection, an ATK boost, and 2 beneficial orbs.
• Sakazuki, Decisive Deadly Battle: While his CA ability is somewhat overshadowed by Bullet’s special, his special will guarantee a full board of orbs and a 2.25x orb boost for STR and INT characters.
• Ace, Trickster Flame Wolf: Happy Halloween (JPN): Only boosts Fighters and Shooters, but his special gives them a 2.5x ATK boost in addition to 10 turns of Bind reduction. Furthermore, any crew with him as Captain effectively becomes immune to Special Rewind and Special Bind, and he makes PSY beneficial.
• O-Soba Mask (JPN): Excellent FC for Bullet, providing beneficial TND orbs and up to a 2.5x ATK boost in addition to his incredible Captain Action that allows him to avoid most debuffs.

• 6+ Franky: Discussed above as a Friend Captain.

• RR Brannew: Reduces 4 turns of Threshold DR and %DR and makes PSY, RCV, and TND matching for your STR and INT characters.

Conclusion:

He’s good. Who woulda thought? He’s capable of clearing nearly all content, is easily top 3 on Global, and remains a strong option even on the Japan server. Pulling him basically means you’re good for the next couple months of content. Even with more and more annoying debuffs coming on JP, such as the affinity canceling, I don’t think he’ll run into many issues in the future.

Post anything I forgot below.

[u/Prowlerfox]

Soooo legend cracker just got forgotten?

[u/CubeoHS → u/Prowlerfox]

My bad. Don't have him so I forgot that he existed for a bit. Adding him now

[u/Prowlerfox → u/CubeoHS]

It's all good. He is one of the best subs for him I use him on all of my bullet teams

[u/[deleted]]

Now enjoy Luffy/Law being still relevant especially when you can build all 3 teams for Kizuna on them. Yeah, Bullet owner here where is my Lawffy :( :( :(

[u/Freeyungbruh → u/[deleted]]

I have both but I still suck and can’t clear shit lol

[u/KSmoria → u/[deleted]]

Word. Pulled bullet recently and haven't seen him doing anything bettet than Lawwfy, yet. Not to mention NAO..

[u/Z3D_San]

I don’t know why people forget about tm Akainu/Fuji I always use them with bullet easily 5m damage with auto attack with their 1.5 slot boost with their swap , and it also get rid of resilience

[u/CubeoHS → u/Z3D_San]

I personally don't like them all that much but I'll put them in

[u/Z3D_San → u/CubeoHS]

They even change slots to str/int 😔

Edit: just don’t swap them on the final stage before you activate bullet special ...

[u/CubeoHS → u/Z3D_San]

Personally I prefer to use Stampede Lucci, Akainu v2, or Armor Sanji, they all provide additional effects in addition to the orbs so I just like them a little more

[u/Raghuman]

How can I get the orbs to evolve him? Just pulled him and not sure why to do

[u/CubeoHS → u/Raghuman]

They'll be in unlockable quests starting at 19:00 on March 23.

[u/Raghuman → u/CubeoHS]

Cheers mate

[u/Waffle_Sandwich]

been getting very solid usage out of Stampede Buggy (STR) as a sub, like TS Nami but gives full matching orbs

[u/xManianx]

I would suggest adding regular QCK 6* Doffy to the list. He is still a very viable option for Bullet teams, giving 3 matching orbs and a 2x orb boost without conditions. Plus his limit break ability removes slot bind completely

[u/CubeoHS → u/xManianx]

Fair point, I'll add it. I left the + off since nobody uses driven-only with Bullet but I never considered the 6*.

[u/riskit512]

Nicely written, as always! Whats your opinion on bullet + BM ship? Its actually my usual pick, as it has the 1,65 boost for bullet.

[u/CubeoHS → u/riskit512]

It's alright, but I left it off since i think a lot of Bullet's strongest subs are INT units. Plus since Bullet teams use color affinity a lot INT is a little better since it can only be positive or neutral for them. I just think losing 1/3 of your subs for .15x ATK isn't worth it. I'll put it on anyways though.

[u/riskit512 → u/CubeoHS]

I usually take Int units anyways, if its just 1-2. My main goal with bullet is to maximize his eot dmg. But i absolutely get your point!

[u/Espadanumber6]

I’m surprised you didn’t put Doffy ship in here too. Honestly, I largely run bullet with Driven teams due to my box having a lot of strong specials. I know Driven may not be “meta” but bullet is strong enough with the right subs. I’ve cleared a lot of a different content running mostly driven teams with him at the helm.

Other than that, this is a cool guide. Glad I own him, but I need to 6+ him soon.

[u/CubeoHS → u/Espadanumber6]

It's there, just kind of a short note since I don't see driven only much

[u/th3_m0le]

Why is everybody forgettig the good old merry go as ship? For longer farm sessions every source of easier perfects is welcome and that ship has no restrictions like the other easier perfect ships

[u/cccxfdj]

For osoba mask as FC you can’t activate double special at the same turn so you probably want him as a sub. His -4 cool down SA is crazy

Same for Raid Rayleigh if you’re f2p, his -3 cool down is also useful.

And Stampede Robin is just a perfect sub, her LB SA makes TND and Meat beneficial. With Snakeman FC, you have 6 matching orbs out of the normal 7, amazing!

[u/[deleted]]

Beyond satisfying.

I use Kata anni and Lawffy undsr him for orb and atk. Shira/Mansherry and a random debuffer.

Work smoothly.

[u/Rxbxn6]

Wish I would of gotten stampede sanji there’s been a couple times he would of been useful

[u/ssjj32002 → u/Rxbxn6]

He recently returned in Jpn. You'll have to buy him, but at least Global will prob bring him back early.
