Build Overview

This is a general purpose build focused on EX intake and EX depletion. Most competitive builds focus on damage, ex and / or meter depletion, so this is a good build to start with.

Seal of Lufenia set lowers DEF, but Warrior of Light's high base DEF stat mitigates it. Lufenian Dirk adds +1 ATK for more damage, which in turn compensates for Heaven's Cloud's low ATK. Heaven's Cloud makes grabbing EX Force much easier due to its increased EX intake range.

CP

Adjustments

All capacity points are used. If you want to make room for something else, try removing the following:

Ultimate Shield (+15)

HP Attack for calling out dodges and whiffs on the ground, but not an absolute must-have.

Radiant Sword (+15)

HP Attack with low hit rate, often used in slow paced situations when the risk is not high.

Substitutes

Equipment / Ability	Substitute	Notes
Crossover (BRV) + Rune Saber (HP)	Rising Buckler (BRV) + Bitter End (HP)	Rising Buckler lets Warrior of Light challenge airborne opponents even from below.
White Fang (BRV)	Blue Fang (BRV)	This is for harassing Ultimecia in low ceiling stages, such as Pandaemonium - Top Floor and Sky Fortress Bahamut. Not very reliable for damage, but it is better than nothing.
Omni Ground Dash	Ground Dash	This lets Warrior of Light fill assist gauge when dashing on the ground. Useful when approaching or playing passively.
Dismay Shock	Aerial Large Gap in HP Free Choice	Seal of Lufenia special effect already has strong EX depletion. Booster accessories can enhance Muscle Belt's damage or Battle Hammer's assist gauge depletion further. Otherwise feel free to pick whatever accessory serves you best.

Build Overview

This is a Side by Side damage build focused on high HP damage with each HP link. The idea is fairly simple: Connect braveries that lead to HP attacks, and use assist to do it again. This lets Warrior of Light end a match in 3-4 combos, which is very powerful. The main downside has to do with Side by Side itself; If Warrior of Light cannot finish a match quickly, he cannot fill EX gauge to compensate.

Adjustments

All capacity points are used. If you want to make room for something else, try removing the following:

Radiant Sword (+15)

HP Attack with low hit rate, often used in slow paced situations when the risk is not high.

The extra ability Machinery adds +100 base bravery. Try not to remove it unless you want to use capacity points on something else that serves you equally well.

Substitutes

Equipment / Ability	Substitute	Notes
Dismay Shock	Aerial Opponent Empty EX Gauge	If the opponent is also using Side by Side, Dismay Shock's EX depletion is not necessary.
Back-Breaking Straw	Opponent Summon Unused HP < 50 % Free Choice	Back-Breaking Straw offsets Thornlet's BRV penalties, but they're not so big to be detrimental in the short term. If you are comfortable with that, this is a free slot for higher boosters or even Badge of Trust if initial assist gauge is essential.
Together As One	Blue Gem Great Gospel	Together As One is acts as a safety net in competitive matches, but it can be exchanged for more base bravery or bravery recovery. Great Gospel's increased BRV recovery makes it even more reliable to reach base BRV during assist combos, which is technically a damage increase.

Substitutes

Blue Gem	Together as One	Seal of Lufenia already depletes a lot of EX with a wall rush assist combo. Together as One can be used for added safety at the beginning of a match.
Battle Hammer	Sniper Eye	Damage increase via HP wall rush. Not mandatory, but can help end the fight sooner with increased damage.
