Trance Zidane

FF IX was my favorite. VII of course was awesome & the Xs weren't bad, but I liked 9 the most, especially the card game!

Don't see the hate for this guy. He goes with a lot of teams. Low cost or regular. G/l attacker has a big sub pool. Vishnu team would be my first option. Add a Michael and and you got a continuous stream of green orbs. You could even keep him un evod and put him on a sacred dragon god saiga team. His stats aren't that bad his attack is above decent, hp needs a bit of work but that's what + eggs are for. His double sb is rare for green attackers. Can't go wrong with a tpa. He has a place on a g/l attacker team all day with athena , flash, sasuke, Susano. All around I'd give him a 8.2. The .2 for being able to synergize so well with so many teams. He is a gold egg so I would assume a ult evo is on its way. I'm happy about pulling him. He will definitely see some use. Just because he's not a OP leader doesn't mean he should get dumped on. Some cards are made for subs this is one of them. Besides that how many times has gh turned a card like this into some crazy OP lead with an ultimate. Just staying.

Edit: He got a buff to stats and a pair of orb enhance awakenings. He is without a doubt a viable card to run on green attacker teams.

This would have been great on an Athena team if it was God type. :(

It looks like the Pink Panther evolving into a human.

Active skill should've been Thievery

Soooooo good for Attacker Leilan team.

I... Wtf 😕

I have a feeling that he's going to have triple 2 way awakenings when his ultimate comes.

so that leader skill makes him essentially a hero for TPAs?

Was really hoping to pull him since FF 9 is my favorite.
Oh well, I'll catch him next time.

Are they sure it's supposed to be shift brake instead of break

I think he's the only card in the game that gives a Light Skyfall chance. Too bad he isn't main Light Attribute :( Otherwise, he'd be an okay card to use in Light teams.

Do you think this guy would go well on my Awoken Meimei team, or should I use Swooping Cyberbeast, Phact instead? This guy would benefit from my GZL's burst and has better attack, but Phact has those awakens. Any thoughts?

I dunno guise, everyones so quick to put him in that sub role but consider this.
Two Zidanes compared to Thoria

ZIDANES HP 2.25\ATK 14.05\RCV 2.25
THORIAS HP 2.00 \ATK 10.5 \RCV 2.5

They lack very slightly in RCV but have much more attack and a tad more hp.
The new awoken Liu Bei losing his tpa's and gaining rows is a great sub for him.
The catch is you need to have attacker sub types for an optimal team but luckily
green has some great ones.

I got all the subs for this team Zidane/Liu Bei/Mei Mei/Dark ZGL/Michael/Zidane
Just missing another Zidane leader.
Syvlie also works as an orb changer as she has attacker type and there are so many good green attackers like Sasuke, Freyja, Committee Athena, Vishnu, Kaede. If anyone wants to test this out with me let me know and we can make it happen.

*edit, mispelled rcv

After the Dec 2016 FF Collab buffs he is pretty good.

Two Zidanes as leaders is HP 2.25\ATK 20.25\RCV 2.25 plus 8 orb enhances for both. All that attack with just matching 1 row. Plus you get 4 Skill boosts total from both of them.

That is almost as good as 2 Perseus in the lead which give x25 to attack and Zidane's HP and RCV boost puts him ahead of Perseus in terms of stats as an example for less orb matching requirement (so less orb hungry 6 vs 10 connected orbs) and much lower cost in terms of evo mats. No need for green jewels or ancient masks. (You need 3 green ancient masks and 2 jewels for Perseus). So if you are starting out or at mid game Zidane gives you access to good leader damage much faster then someone like Perseus or Dios who take much longer and/or are more costly to evo and skill up.

This guy can be good for both solo and co-op (with the right subs or board changer inherits) with anyone who can make a row like Leeza (#1619). Throw in Yoruichi a common silver pull from Bleach Collab and you get a x2.5 active for 2 turns on your team when you get to the boss (although your hp drops to 1). This can be fixed by having a Thumbelina on the team who is also an attacker heart maker and bind clearer or a Verdandi inherit somewhere on the team or an Ishida sub or just Verdandi as a sub (but she won't get the 1.5 to attackers as she is balanced type). Having Yoruichi would give you a 2.5x extra attack for your team for 2 turns and that is enough to kill any mid descended boss.

Throw in a skilled up Gryphon for green orb enhance for added damage active, which you can make from PAL pulls and Enahnce monster infestations and add an inherit or use the farm-able Zhao Yun from the Descended Carnival Dungeon.

Add either Ikkaku from Bleach who is a free and easy to skill up dungeon drop when the collab comes around (happening right now as I write this Dec 29th 2016. It comes around once a year or so) with a 4 turn cd. Inherit Verdandi or a some board changer onto him.

You can also use Griffin Rider, or maybe Masamune and inherit a board changer on him, as he has a 3 turn CD, and/or a Sarutobi Sasuke with a 5 turn cd.

One of the best subs for him is the G/G Attacker Ishida #3105 as he brings along 4 green row awakenings and makes a green, heart and dark board which would work well when you pop Yoruichi and drop your HP to 1 or you get to the boss and just want to ensure you got enough rows.

Also you can inherit someone like Urahara from Bleach for an instant row onto one of the subs like Ikkaku or a Gryphon.

Thumbelina or even a high wood ninja become your bind cleric and Marine Rider Bard Robin if you pull him from the REM can clear jammers and poison and is a cheaper version to get of Australis if you don't have her. Bring a Wonder Woman or Xmas Alarune for delay/menace.

Another great sub on him is G/D Artemis (not awoken) who is a board changer and who brings 3 green row awakenings, a skill boost and a blind resist. If you got enough rows you can opt for the 1st G/L evo which sacrifices 2 of the rows but gets you a very useful devil killer awakening for more burst (3x to Devils for that card) and a skill bind resist and a yellow subtype to match Zidane.

You can also inherit a nice board change onto Zidane as he has low 6 turn cool down for guaranteed rows and hearts for sustain like a Verdandi. A laser that bypasses damage would be a nice inherit too for cheese floors like Michael in Sandalphon Descended or you can just sub Jize on the team for those occasions since he is an attacker/devil and is dark/green. For anything more powerful like Pre-Dras you would need a RA inherit or a Famiel or some defense break/void.

His limitation outside of the low 10% dual skyfall is only attacker typing so you can't use guys like Dios or Verd for maximum effect as subs as you are limited to only attackers if you want the maximum leader skill activation, but most attackers listed have such low cool downs that you can inherit a board changer easily onto them as mentioned above. You can still add a Verd or Dios as subs you just won't get the extra 1.5 to attackers from them but sometimes the board change might be worth it so having one on the team would guarantee a clear on a boss floor anyhow with orb enhance and some 2.5x or more active.

This would let you farm any mid level descends, Monday dungeon, Star treasure thieves den, weekday dungeons etc or even harder descends with the right subs.

You got enough burst to clear a boss floor and enough HP and RCV to take a hit or two and sustain. Since this would be all attackers this team with plus eggs will hit pretty hard. Not a bad lead when you don't own a Dios, ALB, Perseus or Kaede.

He also works well as a poverty Vishnu sub on a Kaede team. 2 TPAs 2 skill boosts and a time extend and the skyfall work pretty well when you don't have Vishnu or multiple Kaedes. Also a pretty great sub on an Awoken Artemis or Verdandi TPA teams or Vishnu team.

Overall he is a pretty good card when you aren't pulling top tier leads out of the REM but still want a strong row team to beat some mid level descends and farm some stuff either solo or co-op and/or don't own a Dios/ALB/Australis/Perseus teams or you need a tpa sub but don't own a Vishnu.

I rate him 8/10 after the recent end of 2016 buffs and am glad to have pulled him. The only thing stopping him from being rated higher is a lack of a second typing (like god, or balanced). He is both a good leader and a versatile sub.

I've used him on my Verd teams, even Kaede before I pulled Vishnu and other TPA green teams. He is a good Row leader for non IAP and low IAP accounts who aren't pulling REM left and right or for anyone at mid/late game that wants a decent high damage attacker green team.

She is awesome on my Kaede team. Kaede, Vishnu, Zidane, X-mas Freya, Kano. The extra light orbs are welcome because Kano turns light and water into heart orbs.

oh look, a human / nyan cat hybrid.
