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

Updated 10/5/2026Source-backed editorial base · v1

Overview

The Leper offers strong frontline damage and self-preservation, but his party must solve accuracy and reach. High damage does not help against unreachable targets; displacement can disable the plan.

Build a plan, not a tier-list slot

Bring enough accuracy and allies that reach or pull rear enemies. 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

  • Bring enough accuracy and allies that reach or pull rear enemies.
  • 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.
