Arts-Focused Parties

For players who enjoy overwhelming enemies with powerful magical attacks, an Arts-focused party in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC can be incredibly effective. This strategy relies on maximizing the Intelligence and EP of your spellcasters, equipping them with Arts-boosting Quartz, and ensuring they have the support to cast their spells without interruption. These parties excel at exploiting elemental weaknesses and dealing massive area-of-effect damage.

A core member of an Arts-focused party is often Olivier Lenheim. His high Intelligence and access to a wide array of offensive Arts, including powerful Fire and Wind Arts, make him a primary damage dealer. Equip him with Quartz that boost his Intelligence, reduce his EP costs, and increase his casting speed. Another excellent choice is Renne, whose unique Arts can inflict devastating status effects and deal significant damage. Her versatility allows her to adapt to various combat situations.

To support your spellcasters, consider including characters who can provide buffs and debuffs, or even a dedicated healer. Estelle Bright, while capable of physical combat, can also be built to support Arts casters by providing healing and buffs. Alternatively, a character like Kloe Rinz can ensure the party's longevity with her healing Arts, allowing your spellcasters to focus on offense. When setting up Quartz, prioritize those that increase Intelligence, EP, and reduce the casting time of Arts. Items that grant bonus EP or restore EP are also essential. The goal is to create a continuous barrage of magical attacks, leaving enemies with little chance to retaliate. Remember to consider enemy resistances; having a diverse range of elemental Arts available is key to exploiting every weakness.
