Jester: roles, tradeoffs, and a practical party-building checklist.

Overview

The Jester sustains long expeditions with stress relief and improves offense through Battle Ballad. Healing stress every turn while enemies remain active may simply trade one loss for another.

Build a plan, not a tier-list slot

Reduce threats first; recover in safe openings without stalling until reinforcements arrive. 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

  • Reduce threats first; recover in safe openings without stalling until reinforcements arrive.
  • 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.
