You therefore would want to switch out Arbalest (because her gimmick of decent off-healing + mark synergy is no longer relevant) or Vestal (because you clearly can afford a more useful healing-capable class if your party already features an off-healer). You basically never want to use her alongside (backrow) Vestal since backrow Vestal takes on all your healing needs in exchange for being quite terrible at anything else.

If your party doesn't need an off-healer, then there's minimal reason to take her over another class. Yet actually works still.Īs to why? I modded light adjustment Skills away, so I figured that I might as well make the Skill relevant while I am at it.Arbalest is a pretty straightforward class: she's an excellent off-healer and decent in a mark party. If one purposefully wants to keep the enemy alive, spam it for next to quaranteed effect.īasically a worse Battle Ballad. Want an extra round of healing without risking the enemy hurting you more? Rallying Flare last turn.

Shuffled front? Rallying Flare while someone back shuffles front (preferrably by Skill), compensate the turn wasted by acting faster next turn. Personally I found that adding a party-wide +2/2/3/4/5 Speed to it made it actually quite decent for certain purposes. Besides the part where that does not work on herself, for obvious reasons. Even against the Swine, against whom it is practically tailor-made, it is of questionable use.Įven the Stun clearing is not exactly anything to write home about, since I often found the Arbalest to act only after the Character Stunned already recovered. Rallying Flare I have found to be next to useless.
