Crafting effective Orbment setups is crucial for maximizing your party's potential in Trails in the Sky SC. The best setups depend on the character's role, their Orbment layout, and your overall party strategy.
- Dedicated Mages (e.g., Kloe, Olivier): Focus on Arts Quartz like is, Aqua, Terra, Zephyr, Tempus, Spatia, and Mirage. Aim to unlock powerful offensive and support Arts. Prioritize EP and EP regeneration Quartz to sustain their spellcasting.
- Physical Attackers (e.g., Estelle, Joshua, Agate): Equip Quartz that boost Strength, Defense, and Agility. While they might not cast many Arts, having access to a few utility Arts (like 'Protect' or 'Delay') can be beneficial. Consider Quartz that enhance critical hit rate or provide defensive buffs.
- Support Characters (e.g., Scherazard, Tita, Kevin): These characters often benefit from a mix of Arts and stat-boosting Quartz. They might focus on healing Arts, debuffing Arts, or Arts that provide party-wide buffs. Quartz that increase EP and EP regeneration are vital for consistent support.
- Tank Characters (e.g., Zane): Prioritize Quartz that significantly boost Defense, HP, and Strength. Having access to defensive Arts like 'Protect' or 'Shield' is also highly valuable.
- Balancing Elemental Points: Pay attention to the total elemental points in your Orbment. Some Arts require a balance of different elements, while others demand a strong focus on one.
- Master Quartz: Integrate Master Quartz strategically. They often provide unique benefits that can define a character's role or fill a specific niche.
- Consider Party Synergy: Think about how each character's Orbment setup complements the others. If one character is a dedicated healer, another can focus more on offense.
Regularly review and adjust your Orbment setups as you acquire new Quartz and your characters level up. The ability to adapt your Orbment configurations is a key advantage.
