Notes
Guzman is one of those characters that most folks pass on using, as he isn’t typically considered anywhere near top tier. While I won’t try to argue that he is top tier, he offers more than most people think.
His reaction skill provides him with increasing amounts of damage reduction, based on his current health (more reduction at lower health), so he likes to be at low health. The fact the [Toughness] is built into his trait reinforces this.
Additionally, once per battle, upon being killed, he revives and after a turn of charging, he can rejoin the battle. Just be sure you can protect him while he’s resurrecting!
His default skill is excellent for nuking down enemies, as it does 180% dmg over two hits, which is really handy in niche situations, beyond just the damage it does (which is a lot)
His ultimate skill is a strong AoE that requires one turn of charge (during which he takes reduced damage). You can use Inanna to shorten this time, or just let him ride out the attacks in the interim, depending on the situation.
His final suggested skill cuts his HP massively (which he likes) and gives him a few buffs to his ATK, movement, and health regeneration. Always a good thing to have!
For equipment, the Brutal Axe gives him more HP to play with, while the Cooling Powder keeps him always able to heal. The taro can either go Devil or Hermit, but I think Devil will be more useful overall. Double Pentacle engraving increases his damage and damage reduction as he loses health, so this is really the best combo for him. When rolling for stats, aim for P.ATK.
