Raid Boss Sabo | Review and guide

Hello everyone! It's time for a review and a guide to beat raid boss Sabo! He's coming back on OPTC Global and it's a very important unit to have in your box.

 

DEX | Free Spirit, Fighter

HP: 2484

ATK: 1325

RCV: 340

Slots: 3

Cap. Ability: Boosts ATK of Free Spirit characters by 3.5x following a chain of Good > Great > Perfect hits

Special: Deals random typeless damage to all enemies. Each unit gains 55x Sabo's ATK (55x1325) as additional typeless damage for 2 turns (30 -» 14 turns)

Quick review: Well,there's no wrong with this unit. The captain ability,altough already surpassed by other units, is decent and it's very good to use with a Log Luffy friend. The special is simply amazing and there's no other F2P unit with this feature and this damage output (Koala also does it but the damage is to low). His special can be tricky to understand, so i will try to explain the best way i can. Basically you activate Sabo's special, and for the next 2 turns, every unit that hits a Good, Great or Perfect will add to their damage output 55x Sabo's ATK (55x1325=72.875). 

So, every unit gains 72.875 of additional damage, and this alone doens't mean a lot in damage, but if you do the math and multiply that number by captain ability and the boat ability you will see that is a huge amount of extra damage.  

If you don't have him in your box or isn't maxed out yet go ahead and do it. It's a crucial unit to have, very reliable and unique, that will help you a lot with some of the toughest content out there. Tip: If you have ATK cotton candy that you don't need put them on Sabo.
