Who is Licht?
Licht's character in "Black Clover" holds significant importance in the overarching narrative. Here are more details about his role and background:
Licht, revered as the leader of the Elf Tribe, was a symbol of hope and peace among his people. He possessed an immense amount of mana and was known for his gentle and caring nature. His desire for harmony between elves and humans stemmed from his belief in coexistence and mutual understanding.
Tragedy struck when humans, seeking to acquire immense magical power, orchestrated the massacre of the elves. This devastating event, known as the Elf Massacre, led to the deaths of numerous elves, including Licht's beloved friends and family. The massacre was facilitated by the manipulation of a magical artifact known as the Magic Stone Tablet.
Licht, grieving the loss of his kin, sought a way to restore his fallen brethren. He aimed to use the magic stones in conjunction with the Magic Stone Tablet to fulfill a forbidden ritual called the Reincarnation Magic. This magic would reincarnate the souls of the elves into human bodies, allowing them to be revived.
However, as the series progresses, revelations about Licht's true intentions and the events leading up to the Elf Massacre gradually unfold. The complexities surrounding Licht's past and his involvement in the conflict between humans and elves reveal deeper layers to his character and motivations.
The storyline in "Black Clover" delves into Licht's history, shedding light on his ideals, sacrifices, and the challenges he faced. His character's development contributes significantly to the themes of vengeance, forgiveness, and the consequences of prejudice and hatred.
As the series progresses, the truth about Licht's actions and the extent of his influence on the present events become integral to understanding the intricate relationships between characters and the resolution of the conflicts within the story.
Licht's Role
| Attribute | Class |
|---|---|
| Sense | Attacker |
Licht is an attacker known for his high attack power attributed to critical rate buffs. He holds a "critical rate buff" on all skills except for the combined attack, establishing him as a character capable of delivering substantial damage output.
His naturally high critical rate in base stats enables him to frequently trigger critical attacks.
The self-buff nature of these critical rate boosts, unlike conditional effects such as status abnormalities, allows for versatile usage, making him an effective attacker against any opponent.
The enhanced passive holds relatively high priority. Upon ascending to LR and unlocking the awakening passive through two enhancements, his critical damage increases, further empowering his inherent critical attacks into an even more potent weapon.
To activate the awakening, duplicates must be acquired through gacha or universal pieces used. For those relying on Licht as the primary attacker, prioritizing these enhancements is recommended.
He is actually a pretty good unit, mainly benefiting from Rhya, but his damage solo isn't bad either. He has some fun little gimmicks, making him pretty decent for PVE
Recommended Skill Pages
Licht can boost critical rates through his skills, therefore it's recommended to enhance his attack power using skill pages.
| skills page | Reason for recommendation |
|---|---|
condemnation of light | ・Motif skill page ・Skill II's critical hit rate buff is set to Lv.4, and an effect to block the enemy's buff when hitting critical attack is added. ・Attack power / critical rate can be raised with passive (Magic type, but attack power is also referenced, so overall Contributes to firepower) |

lion's spirit | - Total attack power increases according to remaining HP - Ideal for laps where stable capture is possible |
breath of darkness | ・Unconditionally increases all attack power ・General-purpose page that can be used by other attackers |
Recommended Equipment Sets
The best sets would likely be attack speed and crit damage, with penetration as a possible third option. Crit rate and crit damage sets can also work well if you're focusing on crits. However, attack speed and defense are more universally effective options.
For main stats, prioritize Magic attack, though some attack pieces can be beneficial due to his skill's attack buffs benefiting both attack and Magic attack. For substats, prioritize crits and attack, with accuracy being a decent choice to ensure hits, particularly as being blocked prevents crits.

Skills and Passives
His first skill primarily focuses on critical rate. His crit stats are pretty good, and that's where you'd want to enhance him. Skill one provides a single-target crit rate level three increased buff for 120% attack. Skill two gives a 170% attack buff, along with a level four crit rate buff. With the skill page, it applies defense pen, and if you also have the skill page, it grants level four buff immunity upon landing a crit. His ultimate is an AOE with a CR rate increase and a basic 120% AOE.
His normal combo isn't exceptional, but his combined attack is potent. His Lich side applies 75% attack and Magic attack, while Rhya's side grants the same, along with defense penetration and copying one of Licht's buffs, a strong ability if Licht has any buffs. All of his skills are valuable.
Regarding upgrade priority, the combo, especially if used with Rhya, takes precedence as you need both sides maxed for maximum damage. The ultimate comes next, followed by skill two, and skill one isn't particularly crucial. However, the additional 10% attack and Magic attack per level can be potent, up to 170%, making it quite effective for single-target damage.
Moving on to his passives, he's the first unit with immortality in the game. Once he drops below 30% HP, even if the hit would otherwise kill him, he stays alive with immortality for one turn until his next turn. He also gains 10% crit damage here and another 10% crit damage here, totaling a 20% crit damage boost, along with an extra 15% crit damage and 12.5% crit rate. His maxed-out stats could be among the best seen in a unit, so maxing him out is highly recommended. Even two dupes offer significant power, providing 10% crit damage, 5% crit rate, attack, and Magic attack, bolstering his damage potential.

Talents
Moving to talents, it's relatively simple. Prioritize building him with damage and crit damage since he's a crit-focused unit. The 10% crit damage can be significant.
Team Composition
Lastly, regarding teams, pairing List with Rhya is his best synergy. Adding Valtos and Sally to this team creates a powerful setup. However, for future teams, considering someone like Season 2 Noelle, Rades, William, or Sally alongside Licht could offer a versatile combination. Buffing should focus on increasing their attack and Magic attack together to maximize their potential.
