Notes

Gameplay

• His Limit Burst's Damage mitigation effect caps out at level 25, after which you only are improving the defense buff. This means that awakening a 6-star maxed-LB Wilhelm to 7-star will not weaken his Limit Burst.

Trivia

• His base forms were never given a Ready Attack animation as is he looked like the so-called Impregnable Shield. His 7-star form finally gives him his own unique Ready Attack animation.
