Speed & Crit Joshua

Create a Speed & Crit Joshua build in Trails in the Sky SC. Maximize his Speed and Critical Damage to land devastating blows before enemies can react.

Speed & Crit Joshua

Joshua Bright, a central figure in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC, excels as a swift attacker with a penchant for critical hits. This build focuses on maximizing his Speed and Critical Damage to deliver devastating blows to enemies, often before they can even react.

Core Strategy

The primary goal is to increase Joshua's Speed stat through equipment and Quartz. High Speed allows him to act more frequently in combat, granting more opportunities to attack and apply status effects. Coupled with a high Critical Rate, his attacks will frequently deal amplified damage. This build synergizes well with his innate abilities and Arts that benefit from quick casting or follow-up attacks.

Key Quartz Recommendations

  • HP Up: Essential for survivability, especially when Joshua is on the front lines.
  • EP Charge: To sustain his Arts usage, particularly his powerful S-Crafts.
  • Action 1/2: Directly boosts his Speed, allowing for more turns.
  • Critical: Increases his critical hit chance, making his attacks more potent.
  • Strength Up: While Speed and Crit are paramount, a slight boost to Strength ensures his critical hits land harder.
  • Insight: Improves his evasion and accuracy, further enhancing his survivability and offensive reliability.

Recommended Equipment

Prioritize accessories that boost Speed and Critical Rate. Items like the Silver Wolf Band or Hawk's Eye are excellent choices. For armor, look for pieces that offer a balance of defense and Speed bonuses. His weapon should ideally have innate critical damage bonuses.

Combat Tactics

In battle, Joshua should be positioned to engage enemies quickly. Utilize his normal attacks frequently, especially when critical hits are likely. Save his S-Craft, Violent Roar, for opportune moments when multiple enemies are present or a high-priority target needs to be eliminated swiftly. His Arts, while not the focus, can be used for utility or to exploit enemy weaknesses when necessary.

Synergies

This build pairs well with characters who can provide buffs that further enhance Joshua's offensive capabilities, such as stat boosts or increased critical chance. Characters who can also act quickly or provide support that allows Joshua to attack more often will amplify his effectiveness.

Strengths

  • High damage output through frequent critical hits.
  • Excellent turn order control due to high Speed.
  • Effective at quickly eliminating single targets or groups of weaker enemies.

Weaknesses

  • Can be vulnerable to heavy damage if caught off guard.
  • Relies heavily on critical hits for maximum effectiveness.
  • May struggle against enemies with extremely high defense or evasion without proper support.
