Jake/Gameplay

Jake is playable character in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. He's usually a physical damage unit who can debuff foes in some form, through stat debuffs or inflict elemental imperils. Befitting his womanizing nature, he can come with passive buffs that relate to female units. As one of the main characters he's acquired in the Zoldaad Chapter and has several versions of him, some of them are time-limited however.

Jake
His season one variant is a rather basic unit. It has coverage for two elements on Fire and Lightning. He can decrease the opp's ATK and boost his own ATK and DEF in separate abilities. His ability kit, however is quite reduced and his passive abilities are very weak. His enhancements boost the stats increase/decrease of his attacks making him more usable. He does still suffer from low stats.

Pirate Jake
His Halloween variant. Pirate Jake is much more potent than his season one variant. He also utilizes Fire and Lightning moves, being capable of debuffing resistance to the latter. He also has a chain move in Feed the Fishes which decreases Water resistance, not coincidentally this move chains perfectly with some notorious Water users although it has a low hit count. His passives are much bigger and gains immunity to some status ailments, he also comes with innate Dual Wield of Swords and Guns, earning bonuses upon using these weapons. He can also work as a pseudo-tank although this may get him accidently killed. He compensates this with passives that prevent his death once and boost his stats upon reaching low HP. He also gains passives useful for item/gil farming. Overall a very useful unit for 4★ base rarity unit.

Nameless Gunner Jake
His season two variant and a 5★ base rarity unit, being a full upgrade over the original. He's both a chainer and a finisher although his strongest moves are unlocked upon using others. He can also imperil and imbue himself with four different elements giving him versatility. He can also rotate between ATK/MAG and DEF/SPR Breaks of 45% each. His Limit Burst is also a very potent damage move and he has an ability to charge his LB quickly. However, Nameless Gunner Jake comes with several cons. For the time of his release his modifiers are low, this applies even to his locked moves. The effects of many of his moves do not last too long either forcing him to rotate constantly and lose damage potential. Lastly his Limit Burst comes with a 99% ATK/DEF debuff to himself. He does have higher HP than most damage units, but has less ATK boosts too. He does come with innate Dual Wield and like Pirate Jake he can resist KO once and even boost his stats when endangered. Unfortunately his problems aren't compensated until ★7.
