Agate Crosner Builds
Agate Crosner, the stoic and powerful Bracer, is a formidable physical attacker in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC. His builds should focus on maximizing his offensive potential, particularly his Strength and critical hit rate, while ensuring he has enough survivability to stay on the front lines. Agate excels at dealing high physical damage and can also serve as a tank due to his naturally high HP and Defense.
Combat Style: Agate is a melee specialist. His Crafts are designed to hit hard and fast, often with multi-hit properties or bonus damage under certain conditions. His S-Craft, "Ground Dasher," is a devastating area-of-effect attack that can clear out groups of enemies.
Orbment Setup (Quartz Recommendations):
- Strength Focus: Prioritize equipping Quartz that boost Strength. The Strength Up II and Strength Up III Quartz are essential. Combining these with other stat-boosting Quartz can significantly increase his damage output.
- Critical Hit Focus: Agate benefits greatly from critical hits. The Critical Up and Critical Up II Quartz can be invaluable. Consider pairing these with Quartz that increase his Dexterity to ensure more hits land.
- HP and Defense: To keep him alive on the front lines, consider Quartz that boost HP and Defense. HP Up II and Defense Up II are good choices. This allows him to absorb more damage and continue his assault.
- EP Management: While not his primary focus, having some EP recovery can be useful for occasional Arts or to fuel his Crafts more frequently. A EP Up or EP Charge can be helpful.
- Elemental Arts (Optional): While Agate is primarily a physical attacker, a single slot dedicated to a useful Art like Heal or Delay can provide utility to the party. However, this is usually secondary to his physical enhancements.
Recommended Accessories:
- Strength Boosting Accessories: Items that directly increase Strength are ideal.
- Critical Rate Accessories: Accessories that boost critical hit chance are also highly effective.
- Defensive Accessories: If survivability is an issue, consider accessories that increase HP or Defense.
Gameplay Strategy: Position Agate on the front lines to draw enemy attention and deal consistent physical damage. Use his Crafts to break enemy guards and inflict significant damage. His S-Craft should be saved for when multiple enemies are grouped together or for a powerful finishing blow against a boss. Regularly check his equipment and Quartz setup as you progress, as new and more powerful options will become available.
