Offensive Arts Olivier
Olivier Lenheim, the eccentric bard and skilled mage in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC, possesses immense magical potential. This build focuses on maximizing his Arts damage output, turning him into a potent offensive spellcaster capable of unleashing devastating magical attacks upon his foes.
Core Strategy
The primary objective is to amplify Olivier's Intelligence and Arts Power to their highest levels. This is achieved through strategic Quartz allocation and the selection of equipment that boosts his magical capabilities. By focusing on Arts, Olivier can exploit enemy elemental weaknesses, deal significant area-of-effect damage, and control the battlefield with his unique magical abilities.
Key Quartz Recommendations
- HP Up: Crucial for his survivability, as he will be a prime target for enemies.
- EP Charge: Essential for sustaining his high Arts usage throughout prolonged battles.
- Intelligence Up: The cornerstone of this build, directly increasing his Arts damage.
- Arts Up: Further enhances the power of his offensive Arts.
- Elemental Quartz (e.g., Pyro, Aero, Aqua, Terra): Maximize the levels of these to unlock his most potent elemental spells.
- Time/Space Quartz (e.g., Chrono, Void): For utility Arts like Delay or Seal, which can complement his offensive role and provide battlefield control.
- Action 1/2: While not the primary focus, a slight Speed boost allows him to cast Arts sooner.
- Insight: Improves his evasion, helping him stay alive to cast his spells.
Recommended Equipment
Prioritize accessories that significantly boost Intelligence and EP. Items like the Sage's Staff or Talisman of Wisdom are excellent choices. For armor, look for pieces that offer substantial magical defense and potentially EP regeneration. His weapon should have the highest possible Intelligence bonus available.
Combat Tactics
In combat, Olivier should be positioned safely behind the front lines, where he can unleash his Arts without immediate threat. Identify enemy elemental weaknesses and exploit them with his most powerful spells. His S-Craft, Moonlight Waltz, is a powerful area-of-effect attack that can deal significant damage to multiple enemies or a single boss. Use his Arts strategically to control the flow of battle, such as employing Seal to prevent dangerous enemy Arts or Delay to disrupt their turns. His unique Arts, such as those related to the "Moonlight" series, often have additional effects that can turn the tide of battle.
Synergies
This Olivier excels when paired with characters who can protect him or draw enemy aggro. Characters who can provide EP restoration or buffs that enhance his casting speed will also greatly amplify his effectiveness. A party that can quickly finish off enemies weakened by his Arts will ensure his offensive power is fully utilized.
