A knight who appears in the tales of holy stones known as auracite in the distant world of Ivalice. Cidolfus Orlandeau is also known as "Thunder God Cid," and is a man feared by many due to his reputation as the undefeated general of the Order of the Southern Sky under the banner of the Black Lion. Once the War of the Lions had erupted amidst disputes of succession within the royal family, his resolve to protect and fight for the people never faltered.

Orlandeau (5★) description

Orlandeau is a summonable vision and optional playable character in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. He serves as a character representative from Final Fantasy Tactics, and has been available for summoning since the event The Auracite Chosen (which originally ran in March 2017 in the Global version).

Gameplay[]

He has no innate element or status ailment resistances. He has a Trust Master reward: the Thunder God's Plan accessory—which, when equipped, enables use of the Crush Accessory, Spirit Blade and Ultima Sword abilities. His Super Trust Master Reward is Thunder God's Sword, a Light-elemental greatsword with an Attack power of 174.

His awakening materials are the following:


Stats[]

Orlandeau's stats at his highest levels are as follows (with no passive abilities taken into account), along with the maximum amount of stat points that can be increased through pot-enhancements:

Rarity Level HP MP ATK DEF MAG SPR Drop Check*(Maximum burst stone drops per hit)
5★ 80 2785 (+240) 109 (+40) 119 (+24) 95 (+16) 95 (+16) 89 (+16) 5 FFBE Limit Burst crystal

Abilities[]

Orlandeau has four ability slots. He has no magic affinity.

While he has no innate status ailment resistances, the passive "Black Lion's Crest" grants him immunity to Blind, Sleep and Paralyze.

His ability "Divine Ruination" is a 7-hit chaining skill, and its frames (frame delay: 70-7-5-7-7-7-7; attack frames: 70-77-82-89-96-103-110) allow him to perfectly chain with Agrias's "Divine Ruination"+2, Veritas of the Dark's "Dark Punishment", Fryevia's "Frost Flower Blitz"+1/+2, Sephiroth's "The Heavens Wept", Raegen's "Blades of Azure Crimson", among others. Due to its ability to reduce the enemy's resistance to Light, Orlandeau should be equipped with a light-elemental weapon to take advantage of its Imperil. Giving him some form of Dual Wield will double the hit count to 14 (thus, he can generally reach a chain of 27 hits with a partner) while spending the necessary MP just once.
