Effect of BB Level
Brave Burst Level of your character cards will enhance the BB skills casted. Depending on the skill type, leveling BB has different effects to your skills. Note that higher BB level does not increase activation rate during arena fights.
Attack Skills
The brave burst level effect of attack type skills adds around 15% incremental damage when maxed. Although 15% does not sound alot, it can be stacked with leaders skills which make it a little more significant.
It also increases the probability of procing any status ailment effects for attack skills with it.
Healing Skills
Higher BB level increases the amount of HP healed.
Support Skills
Raising BB level increase the effective of buff.
How to Raise Your Brave Burst Level
There are three types to the different Brave Burst skills: Attack, Heal, and Buff. The Brave Burst or BB Level is raised when you fuse monsters of the same type. What you will have to do is to look at the Brave Burst type of the two character cards to make the decision.
BB Level Chance and Progression
The BB leveling chance decreases significantly as you go up in level. Below is an “estimated” chance that we observed through playing.
1 > 2 = 15%
2 > 3 = 13%
3 > 4 = 11%
4 > 5 = 9%
5 > 6 = 7%
6 > 7 = 5%
7 > 8 = 3%
8 > 9 = 2%
9 > 10 = 1%
How Many Fusion Cards to Use and BB Level
The BB Level up chances is calculated at “per card”. This means that in terms of strict Brave Burst leveling, using 1 card is exactly the same as using 5. It also means that you can potentially obtain more than 1 BB level if you fuse more than 1 card into the base (with luck).
However, it is best practice to always fuse 5 cards at the same time. This is mainly done for economical reasons. The Brave Frontier Zel cost for card fusion raises as your character levels up, thus, it is better to pump 5 cards at the same time so that each of the fuse are calculated at cheaper Zel cost.
Cards Without Skills
Metal Gods or any unit without skills do not have chance of raising the BB level.
BB Leveling Factors
Below are some of the key points to remember for your BB grinding.
1. Using same Element as the base card boost the BB level up chance.
2. Rarity matters a little, but too little to be significant.
3. Level of card does not matter.
Burst Frog Notes
Burst Frog are usually offered as event rewards, these units will give an definite BB level up when fused with another. You should always use it during the last stages of BB fusing since the chance of getting that last level up is the least.
The Brave Frontier Burst Frog can be used to boost all BB’s including the SBB.
When to Raise Your Brave Burst Level
The timing of when you should starting grind Brave Burst farming depends on the needs of your team. There are a few important factors to keep in mind.
Avoid Maxing BB Level on non-final evolution forms
Attempting to max out the BB level of your is more or less an end game type of thing. Thus, although you should still try to level up BB through normal character leveling and fusing, you should not place too much effort into BB max leveling. In addition, you should not attempt to max out BB level for any non-final evolution cards.
The timing of your planned evolution
At the time of writing this guide, evolved cards will have their Brave Burst (BB Level) halved (rounded down)when they evolve. For example, a level 4 BB level would become 2 when they evolve. This means that if you plan to evolve a certain character card soon, it is better to focus your BB leveling with another character first.
The BB leveling of the rest of your team
You generally should not grind two characters of the same BB type at the same time. This is because you would run at lower efficiency by needing double the cards, it is much better to focus grinding the BB level of individual types. rather than trying to level 2 cards of the same type.
The Level of Your Character
The level matters since BB leveling requires regular fusing which costs more ZEL as you level up. As such, if your goal is to conserve Zel while boosting up the BB level, start taking note of your BB level at as early as level 1.
It should be noted that you can still fuse cards into your maxed level card. The max level card can still gain potential BB chances to rank and level up.
