Rare
Recruit Strawhats – Updated Character Review
The second character review post is already here! In the few
days that have passed since the first one, quite a few things have happened,
including the arrival of sockets. As such, we are going to add a hidden powers
comment so you know how many sockets a character has and what we recommend you
to choose.
The tables below focus on the second version of the Strawhats,
which were added to Rare Recruit shortly after the game launched. There was a
first batch called “Baroque Works”, which we have decided to skip since most of
those units are farmable and only two or three of the ones available are
interesting in One Piece Treasure Cruise current state. However, worry not,
because we have decided to include Robin in our review!

Review: You may like how his captain ability works or not, but nobody
would deny that Gear 3rd Luffy has been a beast since the moment
he was released. He has high attack and health, he has one of the best skills
in the game and he can clear most if not every single piece of content
released so far. Training Forests? Check. Clashes? Check. Fortnights? Check. However,
such power can’t be hold without a disadvantage. And Luffy’s is the fact
that, if you miss one of the first 3 Perfects you need to hit in order to
unlock his power, your damage output will be vastly reduced.
For that reason, you may not find Gear 3rd suitable
for some intensive farming, and it’s not a captain that you will use every
day (unless you really like it, of course!). However, he is a wild card that
you can use when your standard Slasher, Striker, or type based team isn’t
enough.

The Future: Not much changes for Gear 3rd
Luffy. He keeps being a really useful unit and, in some cases, he even is a
better option than Voyage Dream (aka Log) Luffy. There is a new buff some
raid bosses use that makes them immune to damage until a certain number of
hits have been landed. With Gear 3rd Luffy, you won’t lose any
damage due to this shield, since the first three hits (which don’t do any
damage due to said shield) weren’t important to begin with.

Hidden Powers: Since Gear 3rd Luffy only has 2
sockets, there aren’t many combinations available for you. Our
recommendation, however, is that you priorize Bind (Lock) reduction above
everything else, since a character binded vastly reduces the amount of damage
you can inflict to your foes. The other socket can be filled with Despair
(Silence) reduction, or any other power of your liking.
