Folka/Gameplay

Folka is an optional playable character in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. She has two variants: "Veritas of the Waters", based on her appearance during Season One, and the simply-named "Folka", in which she has discarded her armor. In both variants, she primarily focuses on healing the party with spells, similar to a White Mage, but with the distinction of having many skills related to the Water element, including some Black Magic. Her weapon of choice is the staff.
She shares a summer variant with Citra, called "Summer Folka & Citra" , which is currently only available in the JP version.

;Limit Burst
300px|right|Aqua Ensemble
 is Folka's Limit Burst. As one of the so-called 'CG units', Folka's Limit Burst is a powerful ability preceded by a FMV-like movie that lasts about 0:10 seconds. She utters the phrase "Mizu no iyashi yo." (, "Let this water heal/soothe you.")
In the sequence, a stream of water transforms into Folka, who stands with her staff in hand. She touches the ground with its tip and the scenery transforms into a plane seemingly composed of only a water surface and the night sky. An army of small water-like creatures emerges from the ground and promptly surrounds the party.
Its effect is restoring the party's HP by a certain percentage, removes all status ailments (Poison, Blind, Status, Silence, Paralyze, Confuse, Disease, Petrify), all stat breaks, Stop and Charm, and increases everyone's resistance to Water for three turns. Depending on its rarity, it boosts their resistance by 80% (5★), by 90% (6★), or by 100% (7★).
How much HP it restores will depend on Folka's LB level:
Rarity	Name 	Change in Effect	Change in Effect 	Cost
5★ 	Aqua Ensemble	Base (Lv. 1) 	Restores HP by 10% 	56
5★ 	Aqua Ensemble	Max (Lv. 20) 	Restores HP by 48% 	56
6★ 	Aqua Ensemble	Base (Lv. 1) 	Restores HP by 50% 	56
6★ 	Aqua Ensemble	Max (Lv. 25) 	Restores HP by 100% 	56
7★ 	Aqua Ensemble	Base (Lv. 1) 	Restores HP by 50% 	56 » 53
7★ 	Aqua Ensemble	Max (Lv. 30) 	Restores HP by 100%; lowers LB cost	56 » 53
=== Equipment ===
Folka can equip the following weapon types: daggers, staves, rods, instruments and maces.
She can equip the following armor types: light shields, hats, clothes, light armor, heavy armor and robes.
She can equip accessories.
Equipping her Trust Master reward (the passive Hero's Vow - Water) or her Super Trust Master reward (the Staff of Ripples) will trigger her Trust ability "Face Your Weakness". It increases Folka's DEF, SPR, HP and MP by 20%, her resistance to all status ailments (100%), and fills her LB gauge by 1 per turn.
