	This is a Side by Side damage build centered around high {{keyword\|base bravery\|basebrv=1}}. Side by Side gives a chunk of assist gauge for doing HP damage, which lets Firion use Kuja assist more often. Whenever Firion gets an HP Wall Rush with Straightarrow or Double Trouble, he can deal over 2000 HP damage. A single Double Trouble Kuja assist combo ranges between 4,130 - 4,712 HP damage. This depends on Firion's combo route, but three assist combos are often enough to win. Since Firion gets HP attacks from his ground braveries and any Straightarrow that hits, he can deal lots of damage quickly. This is true for any character that uses this build such as {{012bez}}, but Firion benefits from it regardless.

	This build ~~focuses~~ on assist ~~meter drain~~ and ~~adding~~ damage ~~via HP wall rushes~~.		This is a Side by Side damage build centered around high {{keyword\|base bravery\|basebrv=1}}. Side by Side gives a chunk of assist gauge for doing HP damage, which lets Firion use Kuja assist more often. Whenever Firion gets an HP Wall Rush with Straightarrow or Double Trouble, he can deal over 2000 HP damage. A single Double Trouble Kuja assist combo ranges between 4,130 - 4,712 HP damage.

Since Firion gets HP attacks from his ground braveries and any Straightarrow that hits, he can deal lots of damage quickly. This is true for any character that uses this build such as {{012bez}}, but Firion benefits from it regardless.

	\|-~~\|Build #1=~~		Base bravery ignores opponent's DEF stat, so the damage output is pretty consistent, assuming Firion does not get hit often. Thornlet {{equhead}} also reduces bravery slightly whenever Firion successfully dodges or blocks an attack. This can be offset with Back-Breaking Straw {{accsp}}, or {{keyword\|punishing\|punish=1}} the opponent if their attack has long {{keyword\|recovery\|recovery=1}}.

			;Kuja
			:The most common and powerful synergy. BRV assists combo from every Wall Rush, which Firion can do consistently. They also hold the opponent for Straightarrow {{keyword\|fillers\|filler=1}}, which adds more meter depletion (with equipment) and critical hits for combo finishers. Kuja pushes Firion's damage potential far, while still having some {{keyword\|whiff punish\|whiffpunish=1}} capability. A strong assist all around and great for anyone learning Firion.

			;Sephiroth
			:Sephiroth has a faster ground BRV assist than Kuja, but shorter {{keyword\|holds\|hold=1}}, {{keyword\|hit stun\|hitstun=1}} and harsher knockback angles make it harder to do anything extraordinary. 1 Swordslash filler can be done during Reaper, but Weaponsmaster barely connects after Reaper and Sudden Cruelty Assist Chases. It's far from the worst synergy in the game, but Kuja assist eclipses Sephiroth here in terms of performance and consistency.

			;Aerith
			:Less common for Firion. Aerith enables even more HP damage than Kuja at the cost of whiff punishes and reduced meter depletion. The main strategy here involves '''[[Multiplayer_Build_Guide_(Dissidia_012)#Damage_(high_base_bravery)\|high base bravery builds]]''' and double assist combos; With Double Trouble and Straightarrows, Firion can spend two assist gauges to do three HP attacks in a single combo.

	Firion's practical combos are mostly limited to assist combos. As an HP linker, he benefits a lot from any Wall Rush he gets ~~off of~~ Double Trouble, Lord of Arms and Straightarrow. He works with a few competitive assists, of which Kuja is most reliable.		Firion's practical combos are mostly limited to assist combos.

	Shield Bash is Firion's {{keyword\|command block\|commandblock=1}}. When Firion blocks an attack with this, he will respond with a counterattack. There are two counters, near and far. The type of counter depends on how far the opponent is from Firion at that moment.		Shield Bash is Firion's {{keyword\|command block\|commandblock=1}}. It complements his ground combat and protects Firion after ground dodges. When Firion blocks an attack with this, he will respond with a counterattack. There are two counters, near and far. The type of counter depends on how far the opponent is from Firion at that moment.

	Shield Bash has multiple use cases. It can counter long-range projectiles and discourage {{keyword\|zoning\|zoning=1}}. It can be used after a ground dodge to protect against dodge punish attempts. Firion can even set up a Shield Bash by having his Magic Arts: Flame reflected back at him. It's a powerful defensive tool, partly because it can make opponents think twice before attacking Firion.

	Much of Shield Bash's strengths can be attributed to its blocking duration and the potency of the far version. Shield Bash blocks instantly on frame 1, which gives Firion gapless defense after dodging with Evasion Boost ability. ~~<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxDZ9N6HYL4&t=302 Shield Bash far counter evaded (Precision Evasion)]</ref>~~ The homing spells also travel very far and very quickly; Dodging all of them requires '''[[Dodge_(Dissidia_012)#Precision_Evasion\|Precision Evasion]]''' or very specific positioning and dodge timing. This is because the projectiles are huge, {{keyword\|active\|active=1}} for a long time, and they leave very few gaps in between them. If either first or second projectile hits, the rest is guaranteed.		Much of Shield Bash's strengths can be attributed to its blocking duration and the potency of the far version.

	The third projectile (bolt) is a 1-hit HP that generates 60 EX and knocks opponent upward for an {{keyword\|assist combo\|assistcombo=1}}. If the bolt hits from below, it can trigger the HP hit multiple times. That means multiple {{keyword\|meter depletion\|depletion=1}} ticks and an excessive amount of EX Force on the field. Since Firion is a prominent Side by Side {{accsp}} user, Shield Bash can also fill both assist gauges effectively in this manner.
