Rider of Resistance (Christopher Columbus)

Columbus acts as another AoE damager Rider, but unfortunately, his stats and skills scale very low, which severely hinders his damage. Perhaps it is best to call him an alternative Edward Teach, as he is able to survive for less, but is able to charge his NP faster and potentially deal more damage. He’s also somewhat comparable to Drake, being able to generate stars decently and charge his NP, albeit with less damage.

• AoE NP damage up and attack up skill boosts NPs considerably.
• Decent NP charging and stargen for self.
• Buster crit potential can boost his offense.

• Skills scale very low.
• Poor attack stats.

Funnily enough, Columbus fits within the mold of our previous voyagers, except that he’s somewhat a mix between Teach and Drake. He deals some damage, is able to charge his NP, survive with guts, instantly produce stars, generate through hits, and what not. Unfortunately, his skills don’t really scale high, which makes him rather unsatisfactory. Therefore, if one wishes to use him, it would be best to pair him with supports who can stack buffs with him to boost his damage.

Columbus’ NP deals surprisingly average damage, despite having 3 multiplicative buffs. This is rather disappointing, but it is still useful to create Buster brave chains for himself, especially since he can produce stars instantly and absorb them reliably. It also gives a decrease in the enemy’s crit rate, which is very useful for battles these days, since enemies seem to like decimating parties instantly with consistent crits.

This would increase Columbus overall Buster damage, especially on crits.

Attack up and Buster up skills are easier to find compared to NP damage up, so it would be a good choice to give Columbus this CE if one is pairing him with allies who can boost his attack and Buster damage.

Columbus suffers from very low attack, so boosting his attack would increase his overall normal damage, and stack with his other buffs to boost his damage on his crits and NP.

• Voyager of the Storm B

  An AoE burst skill to boost NP damage in general. Having 2 different buffs means that they would multiply, allowing Columbus and his allies to get a decent boost in his NP damage. It scales to a total 30% boost in NP damage.

• Unyielding Will C

  A rather decent NP charge skill with some survival mixed into it. Pretty straightforward, but with the short duration of the guts, it would be harder to use it to charge NP without sacrificing the guts.

• Conquistador EX

  Even though this provides Columbus with another multiplicative buff, this doesn’t boost his NP damage to significant levels. This is due to its low scaling, which maxes at 20%. However, it is still rather useful to boost Columbus’ damage, by using it with his 1st skill for an NP Buster chain with crits. It also lasts for 3 turns, which can be very useful if he’s supported well.

Columbus comes with a QAABB deck, which allows him to charge NP decently while being able to perform Buster chains. While it doesn’t go far, his hitcounts at least allow him to generate a good amount of stars to use for himself.
