Tips for Gearing Up
- Keep an eye on the stores in Saint-Arkh, Crossbell City, Ordis, Le Sage, and Heimdallr as you progress. They'll often have the latest and greatest armor available.
- Don't forget to check chests! Sometimes the best gear, like the Wild Jacket or Star Garment, is hidden away in Geofront or on Bryonia Island.
- The Rebellion Cross is a fantastic piece of armor, but you'll need to earn a high Instructor Rank (Rank A) to get it. Focus on acing your classes and assignments!
- Pay attention to the stats! Some armor boosts DEF and ADF, great for physical defense, while others focus on ATS for magic. Some even give you STR, ATS, or SPD boosts, so pick what best suits each character's role.
- The Heavy Armor is a bit of a trade-off, offering a massive DEF boost but lowering your SPD. Consider who you're giving it to – maybe a tanky character who doesn't need to go first.
