Arbalest

Overview

The Arbalest rewards marked targets and offers healing support, but prefers a stable backline. Being moved forward disrupts her offense; backup healing does not make every party self-sufficient.

Field profile

Build a plan, not a tier-list slot

Use marks when other allies exploit them, not against enemies already one action from death. Before entering, answer three questions: who removes a dangerous backline enemy, who keeps a wounded ally alive before their next turn, and who restores a displaced formation? If this hero cannot cover one of those needs, assign it to another party member. A strong individual skill is not enough when the other heroes lose their actions after its movement.

Before the expedition

• Use marks when other allies exploit them, not against enemies already one action from death.
• Check usable ranks and target ranks for each equipped skill in your current game version.
• Choose four combat skills for this expedition; do not assume every unlocked skill is equipped.
• Recheck trinkets, skill upgrades, and the party's formation after movement.
