Tips
- Alonzo's Bond is one of the tougher ones due to early-game stat requirements (Imagination Rank 2) and later Royal Virtue requirements (Wisdom, Tolerance, Courage).
- Focus on increasing your Royal Virtues by completing Bounties, participating in the Coliseum, and finishing quests.
- The Rank 7 ability, Grifter's Eye, is invaluable for instantly analyzing enemy weaknesses in regular battles, saving you turns.
- The Faker Archetype focuses on debuffing enemies and has useful skills like Dekaja (removes debuffs from the party) which can be inherited.
- Faker Enlightenment and Faker Veneration reduce the MAG cost to study Faker Archetype skills.
- Scion's Skill, Scion's Merit, and Scion's Essence increase the number of Faker Skill Inheritance Slots, allowing for greater customization.
- Magic Shop Negotiator and Magic Shop Dealmaker provide discounts and access to rare items at magic shops.
- Knave's Loyalty increases the money reward from requests.
