Craft-Focused Kevin
While Kevin Graham is renowned for his Holy Arts, he also possesses a set of powerful crafts that can be utilized for offensive and debuffing purposes. This build focuses on enhancing his craft usage, making him a more versatile combatant who can contribute damage and control in addition to his healing capabilities.
Key Crafts for Kevin:
- Seal: As mentioned in the Holy Arts section, this is also a craft and a potent debuff that can prevent enemies from using their special abilities.
- Holy Breath: A craft that deals damage to a single target and has a chance to inflict the 'Silence' status effect, preventing them from using arts.
- Soul Break: A powerful area-of-effect craft that deals damage and can potentially inflict the 'Seal' status effect. This is excellent for controlling groups of enemies.
- Heal: While primarily an art, Kevin's basic healing ability remains crucial even in a craft-focused build.
Orbment Setup for Craft Enhancement:
This build requires a balance of EP management and offensive quartz to fuel his crafts.
- EP Charge: Still essential to ensure he has the EP to use his crafts frequently.
- EP Save: Reduces the EP cost of his crafts, allowing for more consistent usage.
- ATK Up/STR Up: To increase the damage output of his offensive crafts like Soul Break and Holy Breath.
- Action Boost: Allows him to act more often, increasing his opportunities to use crafts.
- Delay: This quartz can be useful for crafts that have a delay, allowing him to act sooner after using them.
Strategic Role and Item Usage:
In this build, Kevin transitions from a pure healer to a hybrid support/debuffer. He can still provide healing when necessary, but his primary focus shifts to controlling the battlefield with Seal and Silence, and dealing damage with his crafts. Equip him with accessories that boost his EP or provide passive damage bonuses. Items that restore EP are vital for maintaining his craft usage. He can be paired with characters who can provide additional healing or focus on raw damage, allowing Kevin to focus on his debuffing and offensive craft capabilities.
