Guzman Pros and Strength
Off-Tank Bruiser
Guzman is an unusual Destroyer that has high HP and pretty good damage. A lot of the conditions to trigger bonus damage depend on the state of his HP bar, so be sure to increase his HP stat whenever possible to also increase his DMG.
Cooling Powder is Recommended
Guzman will often manipulate his HP values during fights. Skills like [Furious Pursuit] and [Evil Luxite Intensification] serve to boost Guzman's offensive values by sacrificing some of his HP. To offset the HP costs of his skills, Guzman also has access to self-healing via [Soul Reaping] and [Lives Devouring]. By equipping Cooling Powder, we can guarantee that Guzman will be able to self-heal, making it much less likely that Guzman will die from self-inflicted wounds.
Single Target Nuke Combo
RK 7 [Evil Luxite Intensification] is an [Instant] skill, so you can use it before casting [Furious Pursuit], allowing you to K.O. most units in one hit. Successfully defeating the target will heal Guzman again thanks to [Soul Reaping], so the HP costs for this combo are negligible.
Survival Instinct is Crucial
Guzman functions by lowering his HP to deal more damage. This implies that there are certain risk factors whenever you want to play Guzman effectively. To lessen this risk, always have [Survival Instict] equipped, as it makes Guzman harder to kill the closer he is to death.
