A zero deployment cost on a transformation does not include the cost of its prerequisite units. These values should not be compared with screenshots of levelled units.

Equipment and team decisions
The drum sequence can leave the base undefended during the cutscene. The wiki recommends revival passives from Teacher (Final Stand) or Savior (Moonless). Cog 5th has intrinsic Holy and Water elements and He Laughed specialty memoria, adding damage against Repulse lockout enemies.
Trading and value
Only trade an item the in-game trade window permits. Limited units that remain obtainable cannot yet be traded. Levels and stats transfer; Update 15.0 removed Unit Ascension bonuses, so previously ascended units no longer receive those bonuses; traits and pity do not. Community value estimates describe the exact normal/shiny/form variant and are opinions rather than developer prices.
Source review: 14 October 2026. The acquisition and equipment information below is an adaptation of the linked wiki contributors' pages; it is not an in-game drop or speedrun test.
