General Thoughts

Riley is a 6-star unit that plays the Buffer role. He’s a pretty decent 5-star but must like most other 5-stars he can be easily overlooked for the 6-star characters.

Riley has three main active skills that he’ll be using. One is his attack, one is buff to allies against Stone monsters, and the other is a debuff and confuse inflict chance.

The skill that draws the most attention is his final skill Vein Excavation. It’s a randomizer skill with five different effects that can happen.

What it does is gives you access to his conditional skills through Vein Excavation. Every chance gives one of the conditional skills to active.

Whereas the lowest rate (12%) activates all of the conditional effects. So needless to say if you can hit that 12% you got a pretty sweet deal going with this ability.

Aside from the final skill he has his Limit Burst which is a FIre damage move with 50% DEF ignore and decrease DEF on enemies.

Other than that there really isn’t much else to say about Riley. His equipment isn’t bad for a 5-star, his trust master is decent, and overall he’s just a pretty good 5-star Buffer.

Verdict: A decent 5-star unit. Very good with Vein Excavation but can be a turn off to some from the randomness

Lore

A miner who works as an ore hunter in Zoldaad’s vicinity. Riley not only loves drinking, but he also loves hunting for ores and makes it a point to share his mining exploits with all the strangers he meets when he frequents the tavern. He is actually a scholar by this point, but no one ever seems to notice.
