Raymond

Skill Unlock Priority

Work your way up the tree.

Raymond is an all-around attacker who benefits the most from having his ATK increased. Work your way upwards from the skill tree starting point. Try to get up to 12% of ATK increase rate in the early stages

Outrage and Fantasista

Outrage is a battle skill that has a bit of wind-up and recovery but allows you to hit enemies multiple times which is great during normal encounters.

Fantasista, meanwhile, is a battle skill that deals +200% damage to a stunned target which is useful against bosses and high-level regular enemies.

Get Auto Healing and DEF Up 16%

Try to get Auto Healing and DEF Up 16% on the lower right of the skill tree. This will make Raymond tankier and be able to soak up damage since he will often be in the enemy’s face.

Laeticia

Skill Unlock Priority

Determined Princess

Give top priority to learning Determined Princess which increases the experience value of the entire party at the cost of Laeticia suffering a 50% reduction to DEF and GUTS. Trade off, however, is worth it for leveling up fast. Once you learn the skill, do not forget to equip it in your passive skill set.

Perfect Blow
