Understand Landau's Choice
Useful when…
- A Preservation wearer meant to take a larger share of enemy attention.
- A wearer who benefits from reducing incoming damage.
What does it do?
The wearer is more likely to be attacked, and their damage taken is reduced by 16% at S1, rising to 24% at S5. The attack-likelihood effect is stated without a numeric value. It is a personal damage-reduction effect, not a shield or team resistance increase.
When might another defensive Light Cone fit?
Amber increases wearer DEF and gives additional DEF while the wearer's current HP percentage is below 50%. Concert for Two adds wearer damage for each on-field character with a Shield, alongside its DEF increase. Day One of My New Life grants DEF and team-wide All-Type RES after entering battle, though same-type abilities cannot stack. These alternatives emphasize DEF, shield-dependent damage, or team resistance rather than Landau's Choice's combination of drawing attacks and personal damage reduction.
What should I improve?
Promotion advances the Light Cone through six stages. Superimposition raises the damage reduction from S1 to S5; the example steps use one copy of Landau's Choice. The supplied effect does not give a scaling value for how much more likely the wearer is to be attacked at higher superimpositions, so the listed numerical comparison is the damage reduction.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Drawing more attacks can increase pressure on the wearer, even while their own damage taken is reduced.
- It does not list a team-wide defensive bonus.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reading 'more likely to be attacked' as a guaranteed taunt.
- Treating the damage reduction as protection for the whole team.
