Overview

Warrior of Light is a playable character in Dissidia 012.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • All-rounder - Average to good stats, HP links and a fundamentally good moveset with an answer to many sitations.
  • User-friendly - Great for beginners and experienced players alike, good for learning the game and honing fundamentals.
  • Command block - Shield of Light is an advancing single hit HP attack that can block instantly throughout it's startup to call out attacks or protect himself after dodging.
  • Ground combat - Projectiles and empty chase assist combo starters allow Warrior of Light to adapt to a match's pace and improve his combo potential.
  • Build synergy - Works well with all common build styles, including balanced EX builds, bravery boost on dodge and Side by Side accessory_special.png.
  • EX generation - Most bravery attacks produce 30 to 90 EX Force, supporting long-term survivability with EX.
  • EX Mode - Boasts highest defense stat, automatically blocks Ranged Low projectiles and increases damage output of melee bravery attacks.
  • Struggles against traps - Despite having projectiles and disjoints, Warrior of Light cannot easily punish characters hiding inside lingering projectiles and traps without resources or considerable risk.
  • Commital vertical attacks - Rising Buckler and Shield Strike braveries are serviceable, but are reactable and cannot be cancelled early on whiff.
  • 4-slot bravery dilemma - Warrior of Light benefits from all of his air braveries, but he cannot equip all of them
  • Floaty air dodge, risky dodge protection - While Shield of Light is great at covering his air dodges, it is also high risk and doesn't work against high priority attacks. Outside of clashing with Dayflash bravery, air dodges make Warrior of Light vulnerable.

EX Mode: Class Change!

Effects:

  • Regen
  • Critical Boost
  • Mirror Attack
  • Protect
  • Light's Blessing

Warrior of Light's EX Mode comes with plenty of useful effects. He gets a bravery damage increase for his melee braveries, a big damage reduction in +10 base DEF and he block ranged low moves during his own attacks. A solid EX mode all around, though the unique effects may not come into play if it is used to finish a match.

Mirror Attack

[Active while attacking] A wall of light appears while attacking, repelling weak magical attacks.

Warrior of Light can block attacks with Ranged Low priority during his own attack animations.

Protect

[Always active while in EX Mode] An aura of light covers the body, raising defense.

Warrior of Light gets +10 DEF for the duration of his EX mode. That is a huge increase, which can greatly reduce bravery damage taken if Warrior of Light is hit during this time.

Light's Blessing

[Activates when combo hits] Swords of light appear, dealing additional damage.

Each light sword has a damage multiplier of 1.

EX Burst: Oversoul

Sharp, repeated strikes like flashes of light.

ddff-icon-button-dpadup.png ddff-icon-button-dpaddown.png ddff-icon-button-dpadleft.png ddff-icon-button-dpadright.png

Each directional button corresponds to one attack.

Damage multiplier (initial) Damage multiplier (rest) Type
5x3 (15) 10x6, 25 (100 total) Physical


Warrior of Light's EX Burst is a fairly standard one. The base damage for initial hits isn't high, but follow-up hits begin almost immediately, leaving less time for the opponent to raise their DEF.

To complete this EX Burst, Warrior of Light must press the correct button shown on screen six times. The button inputs always require a directional button. Analog stick ddff-icon-analog.png will not work regardless of what the character control option is set to. If Warrior of Light does not press the correct button within a short time, or presses a wrong button, he will end EX Burst early. Regardless of how well this EX Burst is done, Warrior of Light always finishes with a slash that has decent 25 base damage.
