{Caesar King Best Teams and Bangboo

Caesar F2P Team

Budget-friendly squad focused on using Caesar to stun and provide shields while Billy gains ATK from those shields. Nicole provides Defensive Assist interaction to enable Caesar's Additional Ability.

Caesar Generalist Team

Flexible generalist setup: Caesar as a stunner/defender with Soukaku as support and Ellen as attacker. Works with many attack/support combinations as long as someone can perform a Defensive Assist to enable Caesar's Additional Ability.

Caesar Anomaly Team

Anomaly-focused team: Caesar shields and boosts ATK for Anomaly units, protecting them from interruption and increasing damage output.

{Caesar King Skill Priority

Caesar's Core Skill is the top priority as it directly increases her shield HP. After maxing it, focus on Special Attack and Assist to boost her Impact buff and Daze output. Next, consider upgrading Chain Attack for burst damage or Basic Attack to further increase Daze. The Dodge skill can be left at base level since you'll rely on Special Attack for defense.

Upgrade after Core Skill and Special Attack to increase overall Daze output. Not a priority early on.
