Notes

Balgran offers a different type of support to a squad. It is very niche but is basically a kit designed around making guarding more effective. However, his buffs are niche because most of the hard content you will be doing in Brave Frontier has buff wipes which makes Balgran's innate buff useless. However, If you do want to use Balgran, this build allows him to have a secondary support kit that doesn't revolve around his effective guarding niche. The 3 special enhancements I picked gives Balgran secondary uses. The slight HP restoration when attacked and bb gauge boost when attacked allows him to make your squad more tanky, if the HP restore procs, and he will also keep your gauges up during heavy bb gauge drains.

Summon

My heart had frozen over. I was convinced that I was the only one who could keep my sister safe.

Evolution

They're my family. We're all going to make it home alive. I'll make sure of that.

Fusion

Relationships are funny things. Even though we didn't get much time together, our hearts are as one.

Lore

Balgran concealed his heritage and devoted his life to protecting his younger sister, the Oracle Maiden. Even so, it seems certain that he simply wished to live alongside her. Had Balgran only united with the Oracle Knight's party sooner, he likely would have had a chance to inform Ilia of their relationship. He also would have certainly won the confidence of the Oracle Knight's companions over the long-awaited journey with his sister. Trusting his dear sister and his own safety to these allies, Balgran would have led the charge, his blade free of doubts and concerns.
