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 framesframe 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.
