Gudon

Gudon or Gudon of the Xi Star is an antagonist in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and member of The Orders. He ranks 14th in the organization's hierarchy. He debuts near the end of season two's first chapter.

Appearance
Gudon has the appearance of an overweight middle-aged man. He has visibly short hair and technological lenses that cover part of his face. He is always seen inside a cockpit device which he uses for transport as well as for battle. The front of the cockpit has an iron ball which is whipped through an electric current, very much like a flailing chainball.

Personality
Gudon like many amongst The Orders seems to be self-aware of his power which has made him arrogant. He dutifully and efficiently carries out his orders, even if it involves murder. He in fact seems to relish on handling executions.

Story
Not much is known about Gudon's background, except that he was made a member of The Orders, serving as one of the Emperor's lieutenants, acquiring the rank of Xi Star, making him the 3rd lowest in hierarchy. It is also unknown whether he has any strength of his own or his mechanical devices are what earned him a place amongst The Orders.

He is seen in the Zaharu Gallows preparing to carry out the execution of imprisoned rebels. He eventually gets notice of Lasswell's group from frightened prisoners and decides to lay an ambush in there.

When Lasswell's party arrives to prevent innocents from being murdered, Gudon reveals himself and explains how the people they are saving in fact betrayed them to save their own skin. Lasswell gives no care for he understand the despair the weak and tormented go through and resolves to be betrayed as many times as needed to help them vowing to defeat Gudon. Annoyed that the ranks of The Orders are not taken seriously, Gudon whips his flailing chain from his device and swats the entire party at once, leaving them hurt.

Gudon tries to execute Lasswell but some prisoners encouraged by him interfere and get in Gudon's way, who annoyed executes them with his weapon. Before Gudon can try to attack Lasswell again, Akstar appears and strikes him. Akstar acknowledges that Lasswell did right in believing on the prisoners and encourages his apprentice in dealing with Gudon. Lasswell and his party fight against The Orders' Battle Star who dares them to try to defeat him, and after an arduous battle he is defeated.

Battle
Gudon is faced as the last Boss from Season Two's first chapter. Gudon employs buffs and debuffs as his main resource. He uses Protectga, Shellga, Bravery and Faith on himself on a regular basis. He later uses Joy of Execution, which increases his elemental resistances. Offensively he uses Drown, which inflicts Disease and reduces Water resistance to all units, normal attacks and Flatten, a stronger physical attack on one unit. Later on he begins using Watera and Waterga.

Strategy
Gudon is not a particularly difficult foe to face, his buffs are fairly basic and his attacks are not outstanding. However the player would do well to either debuff his ATK/MAG and augment their own defenses and principally their Water resistance, as if going without caution, Gudon's water spells can easily wipe an unexpectant player.
