Karyl (New Year) weak points
New Year Karyl is a character whose attacker performance greatly increases after buffing UB. If the battle situation is less damaged, it will not be enough to activate the next UB during the buff. Combine with TP support and TP increase buff to reinforce the TP area.
New Year Karyl is not strong alone, but it becomes strong with a character that can bring out the performance of Karyl (New Year). If you don’t have enough characters in your hand and the training is good, you won’t be able to demonstrate the power of Karyl (New Year), so it’s a little unsuitable for beginners.
In order to get a high score in clan battles, it is premised on lowering the defense power to the minimum with debuffs. Since New Year Karyl does not have debuffs, it is somewhat inconvenient to use when forming a normal magic party.
