Justine & CarolineBuild and Guide

Justine & Caroline are an Almighty Virtuoso with 6 different roles.

How this works is that they have a pool of 4 Skills to choose from and depending on which 2 Skills you select before the start of battle, they will have a corresponding role assigned to them, gain bonuses for that role and modify their Skill 3 to fit the same.

In combat, you have to first use the 2 Skills you selected to unlock Skill 3. As an example, if you choose 2 Skills that form the Medic role, they can count as a Medic in Multidimensional Dreamscape and after you use their Skill 1 and Skill 2 on turn 1 and turn 2, on turn 3, you can use their Skill 3 and it will now restore the party’s HP.

Let’s go over all the roles and break down how good each is.

• First, the most recommended role is the Strategist role because it provides the most amount of damaging buffs to the party. When using their Skill 3, this will give Skill Amplification and Critical Damage buff to all other allies. How this new Skill Amplification stat works is that it will multiply the yellow texts in Skills by its amount. For example, if Wonder uses Rebellion Lv.7, which increases Critical Rate by 16.5% and Justine & Caroline will grant 16.1%  Skill Amplification, this Rebellion will now increase Critical Rate by: 16.5 x 1.161 = 19.2%.

• Second, the next recommended role is the Medic role because it provides decent sustain while also some stats buffs. Use this role when the fight requires a sustain role, but you still want some buffs.

• Third, while not the best, the next would be the Assassin/Sweeper roles because Almighty damage can ignore all affinities and Defense. When you don’t have a suitable DPS that can fit what the fight asks of you or it is a fight that wants multiple Assassins/Sweepers, you can bring them as a backup option. This does have some issues, as they can only deal Almighty damage once every 3 turns, and in their Sweeper role, they will only deal AoE damage every 3 turns.

• Fourth, the least recommended roles are the Guardian/Saboteur roles because they are way too slow, provide little desirable effects, and have better options in the same role.

Outside of Skills for Justine & Caroline being different each fight based on your selection, their HIGHLIGHT will also change based on the Skills selected. Keep in mind each HIGHLIGHT has its own cooldown and their damaging HIGHLIGHT is one of the very few HIGHLIGHT that can deal Critical.

At A0, Justine & Caroline are a bit slow as they can only use their strong Skill 3 once every 3 turns. In the context of them being most used as a Strategist, this is very bad since most of the buffs are from their Skill 3 and those only last for 2 turns, you would run into effects coverage issues.

Justine & Caroline have a unique effect of permanently increasing Wonder’s Skill level by 1, but it is insignificant; every common Skill from Wonder gets around 1.5% better.

In CN, Justine & Caroline are released with their Mindscape Core unlocked, meaning they can be levelled up to Level 100 and have 2 more Talents. One Talent increases their Desire Level by 50 points, which increases almost all their Skill effects. Another Talent grants bonus buffs based on their role, further increasing their support capabilities. The earlier role breakdown still holds in CN; Justine & Caroline with Mindscape Core is on par with other CN Strategists but their lack of Critical Rate buffing is noticeable, you would have to adjust the DPS builds to have more Critical Rate to compensate; they are also the Medic that can provide the most stats buffs; the Assassin/Sweeper roles are a bit better as they have more stats but are still on a on need basis if the fight requires it; and the Guardian/Saboteur roles are still left unused as there are even more options to choose from in CN.

Overall, Justine & Caroline is a flexible character with many options to choose from, but mostly just sticks to one or two things. They will work great for players lacking many characters in many roles, but they have a harder time beating any dedicated character in their role.

Character Synergies

• Chord: As Justine & Caroline’s HIGHLIGHT can deal Critical, Chord Skill 3 can make them activate more of their HIGHLIGHT to deal more damage.

Important Awareness / Weapon Value

• Awareness 1: This Awareness makes Justine & Caroline automatically use their Skill 3 on their first turn and when they have 2 Facades from using their Skill 1 and Skill 2. Turning from 2 Skill 3 in a 6-turn fight to 4 Skill 3, and removing their slow setup and effect coverage issues.

• Awareness 6: This Awareness will increase Wonder’s Skill level by 1 again, and they can now use an Enhanced Skill 3, which deals 8 different attribute damage and combines all Skill 3 effects from all roles into 1. As this enhanced Skill 3 effect has an 8-turn cooldown, you can really only use this once, so this is more for the damage and less for the support.

• Weapon: This weapon provides really good stats buffing, but has an issue with effect coverage when using A0 Justine & Caroline. Although more expensive, it is recommended to get their A1 first, then their weapon.
