Hybrid Support Kloe
Kloe Rinz, a versatile mage in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC, can be more than just an offensive powerhouse. This build focuses on her hybrid capabilities, allowing her to provide crucial support through healing and buffs while still contributing significant magical damage when needed. This makes her an adaptable and invaluable member of any party.
Core Strategy
The goal is to create a balanced Kloe who can seamlessly transition between offensive Arts and supportive abilities. This involves equipping her with Quartz that enhance both her Intelligence for damage and her Mind for healing and buffing, while also ensuring she has enough EP to perform both roles. Survivability is also a key consideration.
Key Quartz Recommendations
- HP Up: Essential for her survival, as she'll be in a position to be targeted.
- EP Charge: Crucial for sustaining her dual role of casting offensive and support Arts.
- Intelligence Up: To ensure her offensive Arts still pack a punch.
- Mind Up: Boosts the effectiveness of her healing and buffing Arts.
- Heal/Revive Quartz (e.g., Heal, Tear, S-Heal, S-Tear): To provide essential party healing and resurrection.
- Support Arts Quartz (e.g., Protect, Shell, Fortify, Action): To bolster the party's defenses and speed.
- Elemental Quartz (e.g., Aqua, Pyro): To allow her to contribute damage when opportunities arise.
- Insight: Improves evasion, helping her stay alive to perform her duties.
Recommended Equipment
Accessories that offer a balance of Intelligence, Mind, and EP regeneration are ideal. Items like the Ring of Wisdom or Talisman of Protection can be very useful. For armor, prioritize pieces that provide good magical defense and potentially EP recovery. Her weapon should offer a good balance of offensive and supportive stats.
Combat Tactics
Kloe's role in combat will vary depending on the situation. Against strong enemies or bosses, she should prioritize healing and buffing the party, using Arts like Protect and Shell to mitigate damage. When the party is healthy and the situation is stable, she can switch to offensive Arts to exploit enemy weaknesses or contribute to damage. Her S-Craft, Seraphic Ring, can be used for significant AoE damage, but its utility can also be in its ability to heal the party if timed correctly. She should be positioned safely, but close enough to reach allies with her healing Arts.
Synergies
This Kloe is a fantastic addition to almost any party composition. She complements aggressive damage dealers by keeping them alive and enhances the survivability of defensive teams. Characters who can draw aggro or provide additional healing will allow her to focus more on damage or buffs.
