Acambe Pros and Strength

Premier Summoner

Acambe's signature is that he primarily deals damage through the use of his summoned Shadow Assassins. These assassins not only perform assist attacks, but can also use the AoE attack Vorpal Blade whenever Acambe uses his [Secret Signal] skill.

Shadow Assassin Features

Even though damage is reduced by 50% for subsequent attacks on the same turn, Acambe can still deal a significant amount of single target damage. However, because some bosses have access to Act Again whenever they kill one of your units, be mindful when taking Acambe to boss trials.

Powerful Decision Skill

At Rank 3, Acambe can unlock [Squander], a decision skill that allows him to group enemies and Shadow Assassins, or restore NRG to allies. Typically, you'll be casting [Greed Leads to Ruin], but depending on the allies you brought, it may sometimes be better to use [Rich Rewards].

Skill Rotations

Basic Damage Rotation

Start by using [Shadow Assassin] once or twice before using [Greed Leads to Ruin]. From there, cast [Secret Signal] to devastate the enemy.

2-Turn AoE Burst

By combining Rank 7 [Burning Riches], [Greed Leads to Ruin], and [Secret Signal], Acambe can deal comparable damage to top-tier magic units like Beryl.

Increased NRG and Aura

Acambe has a maximum energy pool of 7-9 depending on his ★s. For every 3 NRG, Acambe increases his NRG regen by +1, maxing out at +3 NRG per turn once he reaches 5★. Additionally, Acambe also has access to a decent Aura which boosts summoned units by 20%, and buffs Discipline characters ATK and DEF by 10% and 20% respectively.

NRG Recovery and Positioning is Paramount

If conditions are right, Acambe can deal some of the best AoE damage in the game. However, NRG management and positioning is essential to pull this off. Remember to supplement Acambe's skills with equipment that and other characters that enable him to dish out his impressive damage.
