Clear the game and win round 5 of the SUPER Battle Arena. You may add Shade I to the party by pressing SHIFT twice while hovering your cursor over Starlight I.
Shade I’s stats are awful. BUT, her skills are good enough that she does not want for firepower.
Trauma Breaker is a mighty skill that takes a bunch of types Shadi is bad against and turns the tables in her favor, allowing her to punish their new weaknesses with her namesake magic. Shade I is even useful against the Ruler of Death herself and can deal considerable damage to her. Stick Starlight I up front with a Magic Master body and have her defend, and Shadi can blast away with Harmonic Flare while safely protected against nasty status ailments.
Her biggest problem is her paper-thin defense.
Her Concentration passive is worthless once her HP dips below 50%, and Trauma Breaker stops working if she dies. Get her EX Skills pumped up, or she will die from so much as a dirty look regardless of whether she’s mid-lined or in the back row.
Her gimmick is teamwork. That means that her whole game falls apart whether it’s her that dies or her teammates. Best then to assemble a team that either gets back up quickly when they fall, or a stable team that doesn’t have dying issues to begin with.
Concentration works the same as a Wide-Angle Lens and its effect applies only to normal attacks and attack skills. Their effects do stack, however, if you equip her with a lens anyway.
Since she won’t be available until Starlight I has joined, her early-game prospects are dim. Get her to SL140, however, and she may just be able to thrash certain bosses.
| What | Why |
| Magic Book: Ruler | Pumps up the power of Shade IV and Harmonic Flare. |
| Phosphorescent Pole | Powers up magic while increasing survivability with Pinwheel. |
| Darkness Star | Party-wide Dark type magic and HP absorption. It’s extremely heavy, but pairs well with a Khulspau. |
| Eternal Ring | A nice party-wide offensive option, provided Shadi has a way to recover SP. |
| Orladin Guard | Lightweight, boosts magic power. |
| Iron Shield | Its Neutral type prevents the debuff from casting Shade IV, and it’s the lightest Neutral shield around. Parry is also a decent skill to have. |
| Khulspau | Costs HP to carry, but offers nice protection and gets rid of the Shade IV debuff. |
| Choice Specs | Straight-up magic power upgrade. |
| Master’s Obi | Makes it even easier to punish the weak points exposed by Trauma Breaker. |
| Amber Armlet | Helps keep her HP at/above 50% for the accuracy bonus. |
| EX Skill | Why |
| HP+ MAG+ DEF+ |
Compensates for terrible innate stats. |
| Type Affinity Magic Mastery |
This is what you need for slinging dark magic. |
| Sense Danger Evasiveness |
Not dying is always nice. |
| Auto Recovery | Every little bit helps in the battle to keep Shadi’s HP at/above 50%. |
