Well, not actually. Cleo is indeed one of the better bow units released, and certainly the best of the plethora of Light Bows available. She has also, apparently, been cribbing notes from Gala Sarisse. Still, that’s a solid set up, with an S1 that gets better with more buffs, and a S2 that gives a great many buffs for a 10 second window. Instead of Buff Time, Cleo focuses more on Damage with Paralysis Punisher and Paralysis = Skill Haste 10%.

So, is Cleo worth summoning for? I’m going to have to caution against it, for several reasons. First, the Anniversary is a month out, and there certain to be a plethora of goodies available then you want to save resources for. Second, Cleo does not break any new ground for Light DPS or Support. Her kit is good, make no mistake, but it’s not stellar, and there a number of older units like Odetta and Alfonse who outshine S!Cleo that you can use instead. And of course, there is the small matter of us having no idea how valuable Paralysis Punisher will be in future. Cleo’s whole kit hinges on futures bosses like High Zodiark being susceptible, and while I’m fairly confident he will be, I can’t promise that and I hesitate to summon based on speculation.

So, unless chains of love have a hold on you, hold off on summoning for Summer Cleo at this time.
