Being one of the most popular SS ability characters. Cid is at first fragile. But after he falls below 50% HP, he gains some stat buffs and restores some health. This make him extremely strong for comeback and consistent damage. On top of that, he has a one time mini nuke.
Overall, Cid is easy to use while offering high consistent damage to challenge difficult content.
