*Before reading, please note that this whole analysis on Faye and her faith is purely based on my personal opinion and others might think differently dependent on their style


Hello everyone, Reason Here.

I am here today to present you my analysis guide regarding Faye and her job.
This guide are for those who recently got Faye, players who are hesitating to train Faye due to her faith and helping you decide if she's the right one for your squad.
I wrote this guide based on analysis of her max limit break stats without any armor or runes and my conclusion stats are Faye with at least 2,000 HP in armor with 20% HP runes without their stats. Of course, the statistics given are no armor, no runes with exception when i mention them.

But Wait! There's More!
For those of you who are really scratching their head thinking about Faiths, here's my 2 cents.

Image
Generally, If you're going for a Tanker in PVE or PVP.
Kratos would be the most ideal faith, having a difference of 1174 compared to Hercules.


Image
However if you're dealing with a lot of magic damage because of skill damage.
Hercules might not be a bad faith as it has more MAG which allows you to resist magic at a cost of forsaking DEF.



Zeus would generally be ideal for all scenarios, providing most efficient buffs and having balanced stats.
Of course, since the shields difference between ideal faiths for skills like Hercules are measly, any faith will do as the difference between the worst is only 5xx ~ 3xx. 


In my opinion, Paladin would definitely be better for PVP, providing absorption of damage for a single person.
PVE wise, the shield difference between Holy Defender and Paladins are about 3218~.

So with that in mind, you have to consider if having an 8045~ shield outweighs an Paladin Shield of 4827~ as Paladins have MAG and Reflection Buff but no taunts.
And of course, the cross taunt and AoE heal that Holy Defender does.

It is also worth mentioning that compared to the Valiant Darrion, 

her total points of stats are only different by 428 as Darrion has 21564.
The Victoria counterpart has about 20142 total points in stats with the difference of 994!
Do Note - In PVP, all heals are halved.


I hope you find this guide informative and i hope it gave you a better perspective.
That sums up my guide, thanks for reading!

Be Valiant, Play Fair,
Reason

Are you the reason I might know? in Fenrir =D

Btw, there are 2 points from me, please have a read, thanks.
1. Paladin's skill have NO taunt effect, already confirmed.
2. Holy Defender's skill WILL remove ONE recent buff from the affected enemy unit.
    (yes, all kinds of buff, but not all at once.)
    (best case scenario, all FIVE affected enemy will remove ONE buff from each target.)

Thanks for the guide :) even when I do not own Faye, I feel that the guide has brought me closer to understanding her to the point that having her is not an option. I can just have her here in the guide section ;)

My faye holy defender can remove all opponent buff just fine. Not limited to only one most recent buff.

Hello, would like to check how holy defender's skill works. So does it removes 1 or all? And is it all enermies? Like if opponent's faye paladin cast her thorn shield, can i remove all? And lucile's 100% reduction dmg skill will i be able to remove all? Thank you for any input. And also thanks for the comprehensive guide!

Hey, thanks for reading!

Honestly, I do not personally own a Holy Defender Faye and I have not seen much Holy Defender action in Arena and therefore I do not really know the answer.
Judging from the skill description, in theory, it should be able to remove all buffs including Faye's thorn shield but only in a (+) cross formation.

I will have to ask around if anyone else knows the true answer based on those people who has a Holy Defender Faye or experienced a Lucille debuff by Faye before.
In the meanwhile, I would love someone else input on this matter, thanks!
