Quick Unit review and Analysis

• Her HP used to be the highest in the game, but there are units above her before her 7* came out...oh well. Her stats are pretty average across the board.
• Nice, high drop checks combined with her abilities on BB may make her a staple in mono-water arena squads, but she still doesn't take Selena's spot in a rainbow squad.
• Her LS is a little redundant as she already provide stats immunity/curing as a unit. BC fill when attacked/heal when attacked have better representatives in 7* units, so I think it's on the less useful side.
• Her ES gives her stats when equiped with Reeze's armor, and as long as it's unlocked, she gives a null ailments buff whenever she BB's of SBB's. She cures ailements as well, so it's a good ability.
• BB is an AoE with very good paralysis/sickness chances and also cures status ailements. Not much to say - it's good at what it does. Status ailments are niche, but when it works paralysis is an important one too. Also very good in arena for occasional failures to wipe the enemy squad.
• SBB is an AoE that drops the status ailements for some major buffs - Reeze gives herself +200% all stats, gives the party a 50% REC -> DEF convert buff, and cures ailments again. REC -> DEF is pretty strong, on a similar level to Melchio/Balgran's ATK -> DEF. Note that, in the current stage of BF, ATK is typically easier to raise and has a higher base value than DEF for many units, so even at 50% conversion Reeze does not strictly replace Melchio - it's down to squad composition.
• The stats buffs don't stack with generic buffs from units like Rivera or Shera - use Reeze's SBB towards the end of a turn. The conversion buff doesn't stack with Melchio or Balgran's ATK -> DEF conversion.
• The UBB cured ailments... because I guess she may as well. and grant Veltri's chance-based Angel Idol buff. The major difference between Reeze and Veltri is that she deals damage while Veltri fully heals the squad for 3 turns. I guess Reeze's UBB is nice, but I'll never be happy with leaving unit revival to chance.

Reeze is a strong unit and came out pretty well. Stat converts that convert to DEF have proven very strong, and she competes with Melchio for... more or less the exact same role most of the time. Reeze pairs happily with Rivera or Nadleeh - and in global's future, Tridon (watch for Aurelia to stomp Reeze on that front , though). There's some more status effect niche on Reeze as well - for the gimmicky trial content where Sickness makes enemies skip nukes, or just for the occasional raid where Paralysis works on a body part.
