My money is on Corazon being the unit that gets buffed. Yeah he can clear a lot of stuff, but he gets seriously outclassed by Hirahoshi in healing unless you go full zombie with him and accept doing zero damage by any other means. Hirahoshi keeps a higher burst than Corazon at max HP at all times, and lets you hit all Perfects while still healing you for about 4.3k per turn with max autoheal sockets and RCV cotton candies, and that's only with 1 Hirahoshi as a captain. In terms of specials, Hirahoshi stomps a mudhole in Corazon with a much higher heal plus full matching orbs.

It's gotta be Corazon. Shirahoshi out classes him in every way possible. He's still under the archaic health based CA that they seem to be phasing out or at least buffing. 2x at max health that scales down to 1x at 1 HP is atrocious while Shirahoshi's is a respectable flat 2.25x with a non-conditional 3.3k heal at the end of each turn. Corazon could potentially outheal her with a 5.9k heal at the end of the turn but that would require the entire team to hit nothing but Good.
Special abilities aren't even a contest either. We have a 16k heal (also reduces bind and despair by 3 turns, weeeeeeee!!) versus a 66k heal and a guaranteed full board of matching orbs.
It seems kinda shitty to have a legend whose sole purpose is to beat 1-time completion content and then get shelved afterwards. Even then, using Corazon on a forest feels more like a "if you don't have any other choice" option for beating a forest considering how tedious it can be. I have a Corazon and the only time I've used him was for the tavern FN.

Hey, Return to Saobody batch! Glad to see we're getting RRs for Duval and Heracles. I expected to see Shakky in here, but I'll take Elizabeth, provided Bandai gives us another amazing special animation. 
Still, this would have been an amazing spot for a Legend Kuma. Too bad.
I'm throwing my guess in for Croc as the DEX 6+. It's got to be him, Cora, or Ace. Cora could certainly use some attack buffing, but he's not really meant to be a high attack legend. He's a healing/zombie legend, and he still achieves that goal quite well. Ace still keeps up with current (non-Akainu/Luffy) legends despite being old. He's very similar to Fujitora, just getting a higher default attack boost instead of the extra beneficial orbs. If anything, the best way to buff Ace is to give him more options for crew, like a 2-turn Shooter orb booster that isn't Franky.
Croc's not a perfect choice either, though, if only because it's hard to figure out how they would boost him. He doesn't need a damage boost (and none of the 6+'s have actually boosted max damage), and his playstyle doesn't really need more health or anything. His special is also fine. The best way to handle him might actually be to go Boa with him and just give him new abilities. Cerebral absolutely needs another strong lead, especially when you look at classes like Slashers (3 legends, Raid Mihawk) and Free Spirit (3 legends, G3, 5+ Luffy). Cerebral's basically got Croc and Momonga, and nobody really uses Momo as a captain. Of course, it'd probably be better if the next strong Cerebral lead wasn't also Croc, but what can ya do.
That being said, if it's Croc, that might torpedo my Rayshop budget. My only dupe legends are Boa and Croc, and I'm already holding the former since I don't want to lose regular Legend Boa. I can still get the Rocketman, but that might cost me the Garp Ship or Wild Sanji.
INT Skull should be next, and that almost has to be Rayleigh. Wouldn't make sense to start with any of the other INT legends (except maybe Buggy ). He should be a pretty easy upgrade, just give him an HP boost and a special that isn't terrible.

Rayleigh with Kuzan-level HP boosting would be amazing to have. It's a damn shame that Wild Sanji works completely against Rayleigh's captain ability or he'd be an excellent sub for this hypothetical 6+ Rayleigh on the 1st turn alongside the Moby Dick. As for other INT legends that could use a boost, I think a case could be made for Jinbe, since he only grants full matching orbs for Fighters and makes it harder to hit your Perfects while recent powercreep(read: Hirahoshi) does the full matching orbs universally and provides other benefits versus Jinbe's debuff. Well, that and Jinbe does have a lower multiplier than all other tank captains. SW Ace? 3x. Fuji? 3x. Blackbeard? 2.75x, but he's a rainbow captain god and tanky as all hell. Zoro? 3x. Hody? 3x. I could see Jinbe getting a slight buff to 3x damage only while under 30% HP and keeping his 2.75x while over 70% HP. Maybe his Special would receive a slight modification so that instead of making it harder to land Perfects it makes it easier to? That'd be an excellent buff to Jinbe since it'd bring him to par with other tank captains while drawing away the need for 3D2Y Luffy as a sub.
Recent One Piece Spoilers:
That said, I don't want to see 6+ Jinbe until the anime crosses Whole Cake Island and Jinbe's 6+ form is him as a Strawhat
As for Buggy...6+ Buggy: Buggy the Clown, Warlord of the Sea incoming?
This might be busted, but they could add a prevent death buff to his special, like Barto's. Or they could nullify environmental or poison damage.
And despite Crocs burst potential, it's still actually around the same or less than a lot of the more recent legends, but with huge added risk. If they're going to maintain him as a risky captain, then a higher burst wouldn't hurt.
I'm not really a fan of what they did to Boa, so I'd rather they not repeat it. I think both Whitebeard and Sabo are generally considered better done.
I'd say Corazon is the mostly likely legend for the green skull due to Shirahoshi outclassing him handily. Both Ace and Croc are still doing fine and would rather need a few more RR/F2P options to make it easier to use them to their potential and/or make them more adjustable to different typed content.
I'm also totally not biased because of having Corazon, nope.
And that Legend Usopp art is amazing. Especially love the portrait.
Will never get tired at all.
Just fed 4 Kumadori dupes, need 2 more bind and 2 more despair socket. Saw 4 blue shield icons, wanted to celebrate...
...turns out it was 2 map damage and 2 poison sockets.

Hey, why did I socket my Croc dream team so that I nullify map and poison damage then?
Finally evolved all my new units. Always nice to have those things done.
DAMNIT! I forgot that snails ended tonight, since we only got them working... what, friday? Least Bandai could do is extend it for those hunting Corazon books
Hey, why did I socket my Croc dream team so that I nullify map and poison damage then?
Because you're a weirdo!
On that topic, I started socketing a second Kuma while farming YWB with Poison and Map for funsies.
Awesome! I'll get a chance to socket INThawk this way with minimal gem cost. Although tbf, my snail luck has been terrible these past few days and I've only gotten 1 meat in 10 snails
"Only" 12 he says. I have been farming Wapol every day except Doffy day and first day of the new colo and I have gotten a Marco book a single time. It was my very first Wapol run and it was a double stamina so I got two books but nothing more after a ridiculous amount of runs.
At least I went 1/2 on my 2 Marco books.
Ha, fair enough, though I did spend quite a few gems on this god forsaken FN. But I do agree that others, perhaps, have it worse.
Time investment it is brutal. Putting it perspective of pulling, half a multi or 5 pulls worth, it isn't that bad! Considering how amazing that special is.
yeah, he's going to help me get at least three ships so it's totally worth it even in the short term.
I'm at 999 cola and there's mail I can't open because it's more cola and there's no way to get rid of it without more ships. It's driving me nuts.
IIRC it took me 12 gems to get the 3 skillups I was missing on my Marco, but mileS has the right idea. Whenever I think 'ugh, my gems! I don't wanna spend them on this raid/fortnight/coliseum/story mode, I'd rather save them to pull!', it only takes me a few minutes for the flashbacks to begin to quickly realize I'm sparing myself from disappointment and getting something tangible out of it instead.
I got lucky, I decided to drop one gem for a stamina refill on the CP9 fortnight in order to get a level up and keep going. It payed off, got another skillup on Jinbe! Just one left to go, and I got some decent luck with my last few Jabra and Blueno sockets and they're both almost done.
So...God Usopp. He will be at max special up and max level when pulled. Additionally, a DEX 6+ skull is now available to be farmed right now. What's more, God Usopp is going to get a 6+ on the same day of release.
I don't know what the catch is yet, but I want to find out.
Okay, what? Giolla doesn't get boosted in the fortnight. She dances in her idle animation. Her portrait has musical notes in it!
Duval isn't boosted either, and I'm pretty sure he plays an instrument at one point. Silly inconsistent boost conditions. Would be nice if the game had a list.
INT Iva's a solid captain for this fortnight. Most of the boosted characters are Free Spirit, he does boosted damage to Yorki, and his damage reduction+Healing special is nice when you inevitably screw up your perfects and take 10k or so from Yorki.
Running double Iva, Colo Apoo, Straw Hat Franky, Log Brook, and Koala. Everyone but Koala is boosted by the fortnight, I have opposing colors for Brook, Yorki, and Laboon, and Apoo + Koala gives me two turns of burst on Yorki so I don't need to bring a delayer. This fortnight is basically designed to be speedrun, between the cooldown reduction for musical characters and the low-ish cooldowns for pretty much all the enemies.

Do we have more information on this or is this based on the Japanese in-game announcement? Because I don't trust anything about it with April fools' day coming up. Or do you really thing global is getting a REAL Straw Hat pirates raid like it was announced?

the japanese announcement even just shows his generic stock post timeskip outfit for the 6+ announcement, it's definitely a joke somehow
I'm hoping he has a 6+ akin to the Yamcha that Dokkan Battle did for April Fools, where when you evolved it it would turn into a completely useless dead Yamcha.
Though why they gotta pick on Usopp? He's no Yamcha.
yeah I was hoping I'd get one or two before the skill up ends but whatever. After the death gauntlet of Doffy, Jinbe and Marco I'm fine not giving a craaaaaaap about Corazon's special level.
edit:
Nope.
Nope. The units themselves are all groups (ie. Demalo and Fake Nami, etc). Actually, I'm curious as to whether the evolved unit (which is all the Fakehats together) can be socketed by any of the four individual units.
The raid does drop some Strawhat skill books, though there's no telling if they'll adjust the list since we're in a very different place than JPN was when they got the raid. If they don't change it up, it'll be our first shot at Story Robin books, though.
Can anyone direct me to post / topic in Reddit (or in somewhere else) where new FN's are discussed? I would like to get more info about them (what to farm / run / what I can clear most easily with 2x sta).
Last 2 weeks I did mostly Smoker FN hardest difficulty, cause it was so easy and could 2x stamina it. Got some sockets but as expected couldn't max any:

You should do every single fortnight and at least get a copy of every character. Even if you have all the legends, you still need good subs for different content. 2X Stamina is a great way to catch up.
The Reddit does have some guides available for fortnights here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePieceTC/wiki/fortnight
There are usually Megathreads, but those get cycled in and out as a new fortnight comes out.
Thanks, forgot that they have pages for FN
.Rumbar Reddit topic. Kinda nice way to make thing different by boosting certain kind of units
.Also as legends cost is high, you need to be quite high in rank to use them. At my rank I can't afford 2 Legends in party.
Yeah, Reddit's a bit behind on this one (not sure if I saw a CP9 thread either). It's a shame, I'd really like to see a comprehensive list of the boosted units, though that would be tough to build ourselves.
As far as running this one goes, your best Free Spirit lead, Colo Apoo, Straw Hat Franky, Straw Hat Brook, and a delayer should be able to handle it. Obviously that can be improved with any RRs or Legends you may have.

Oh nice. This is why Iam asking information (and getting it)
If I can clear Rumbar will run it for the Corazon Books (and obviously Rank exp).
Would this be okish team for Rumbar? Levels are low tho:

Nice. Got 2 books out of 20 runs but at least got 1 skill up from it. Will run the fn for Brook sockets (TS Brook) so I need to farm it quite a bit.

You don't need to fill your team up with characters that get boosted. Just have 1-2 in there if you can. Full list of boosted units https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePieceTC/comments/4wuc2e/rumbar_pirates_fn/
This fortnight is going to be a great way to socket Brook when it comes around again for x2 stam. My first 7 runs in a row I have got Brook to drop. If this keeps up I may save a pile for TS Brook when we get him.
I had to redo my party. Sabo just didn't do enough damage.
Cleared the hardest stage with Cavendish lead with friend Cavendish.
- Cavendish
- TS Sanji
- Luffy +5*
- Diamante
- GPU
Brook is the hardest part with that team. Too bad I can't add Raid Mihawk to party (cost..).
Not sure what happens when Laboon pops up as enemy

Yorki has less hp and Laboon is weak
Thanks. 2nd Run with Cavendish team, managed to clear Brook in one go. Yup this team works.
Found that I can safely use GPU in Brook floor.
Haruta works too for the new fn. You probably won't kill Brook in one turn though.
My team is double Haruta, raid Doffy, Shiki, IntHawk and 3d2y Zoro.
You really need Shiki for the Brook stage. His special kills all the other units and with the driven boost you deal enough damage to almost kill Brook. On the final stage you use Doffy and Zoro special. For Zoro and IntHawk you can probably use Koza and Slasherdile.

Too bad I don't have Haruta. After I GPU Brook and kill it, if I cant kill the trash before they hit me, I use Thousand Sunny (max level) ship special that kills all the trash from full health in that floor.
Not sure who to run on this new FN. I used a Sengoku team but he's not socketed well enough, and went 1/2 on 30 stamina. Need to find something more consistent.
EDIT: Alright, found a reliable team
Goku/Goku
Tom/Brook
Noland/Raid Onigumo
Gives good type coverage. All specials can be stalled for before Brook if needed. Sunny special for mobs and KO on the first turn. I tank 1 hit from Yorki, then use Tom's special, and Brook's, and KO in 1-2 turns depending on orb luck. Onigumo is there for a small health cut/orb changing, and damage VS Brook. The stupid special lock prevents Both Sengoku/Noland's specials from being used until turn 4, but that's easy enough to stall for. Noland's my best (socketed) INT unit until Breed comes back.
So far, got all 3 units, but no Cora books. I'll have to farm for them this week since I need Breed next week.

Fake SHs evolved might be the best zombie captain around, provided you can find a friend with them as well.
