2B (5★ Warrior)

Tier List Overview of 2B #

In my tier list of all units by roles, 2B scores S+ in the PDPS category, just like her collab companion A2.

Her one-hit nukes with guaranteed crit at max boost are some of the most devastating moves in the game. Unlike A2, 2B requires no set up to start “nukin” away at the enemy.

Her ultimate is the easily top 3 strongest damage in the game, reaching the 99,999 damage cap with some buffs and debuffs. 

Her elemental damage is mediocre, but at least it’s a multi-hit dark attack that can debuff. Dark attacks are still rare in this game.

Stats #

Best Skills

• 5* skills: 1-hit Axe or Sword to single enemy, guaranteed to crit at max boost.
  • Truck-kun your enemies into another world
• 4* skill: 2-hit Dark to all enemies, inflict 15% PDEF down for 2 turns.
  • This skill is nice because it’s Dark and every physical attacker can benefit from 15% PDEF down
• 2* & Initial skill: 3-hit Axe or Sword to single enemy.
  • No crit guaranteed, but nice to shave down enemy shields; Olberic wish he had these multi-hit skills
• 1* skill: Impart Entire Front Row with Phys. Def Up 15% (turns: 2-5 based on Boost Lv.)
  • Honorable mention because she is the only Warrior to have a front row PDEF buff; useful for Warrior Job Tower down the road 
• 2* skill: Grant Self the ability to dodge physical attacks (times: 1-4 based on Boost Lv.). [50 SP]
  • So this skill is rather difficult to use properly and you’re better off not picking it; the exception is if you have Edea’s A4 accessory that grants provoke to self

Finally I need to make a comment on her 3* fire skill that shaves shields, but reduces own HP to 1. On paper, it sounds ludicrous: Why would I want to lose all my HP for such a weak 3-hit shield shave? 

Well you’re right – it is ludicrous. The only niche use I can think of for this self-harming skill is to synergize with accessories that reward you for being less than 100% HP. E.g Alfyn’s A4 (Grant 15% PATK when HP is less than 75%). You’ll still need to Regen yourself up afterwards.

Generally you’ll want to pick:

1. 1-hit axe or sword nuke based on enemy weakness
2. 3-hit axe or sword nuke based on enemy weakness
3. 2-hit dark AOE with PDEF debuff
4. Front Row PDEF Up

Ultimate Skill

• 1-hit single target sword nuke and guaranteed to crit.
  • Strongest pure raw damage ult in the game… able to reach damage cap
  • Prioritize Awakening 1, 2, 3, 4 over Lv 10

The Problem with 2B #

Unlike Therion and A2, her strongest skills and ultimate are all 1-hit.

This nerfs her damage output tremendously in the future, where we’ll get better weapons, buffs and debuffs stacking to reach the damage cap.

Therion and A2 can both potentially reach 99,999 x 6 in one turn with the right team comp and set up.

2B’s absolute best might be 99,999 x 3 but this is very difficult to set up given the low potency of her 3-hit skills. You might get lucky with something like 50,000 x 3 in one turn from her.

• 20 PATK, 200 HP
• Grant self SP Regen (amount: 10) per turn

Skill Damage Rankings #

I assume all units at A4, Lv 100, with Origin IV weapons.

Unit passives are generally active unless otherwise specified.

Important to note that unless you got the luck of gods or are a mega whale, you won’t be getting 2B to Awaken 4. She is a limited time collab unit that’ll disappear once collab ends. In JP, they did have one Nier rerun.

Top 25 damaging skills

2B’s ultimate actually ended up being the highest damage in my firepower table.

Against enemies with higher DEF, she’ll do an even better job than other units given that her base PATK is one of the highest.
