Tips
  • Basilio joins late in the game, so prioritize his Bond events on your free days to max it out.
  • The Opera House, opening at night from 9/27, can grant +7 to a Royal Virtue based on the play watched, which can help meet the Imagination and Eloquence Rank 5 requirements for Ranks 6 and 8.
  • For the A Brother’s Mercy Side Quest (Rank 8), you will battle Vinca, a Level 66 enemy resistant to melee attacks. Bringing a tank character like Hulkenberg (as a Royal Knight) who can provoke Vinca is recommended.
  • The Berserker Archetype focuses on pure melee damage with Strike damage. Its skills include Charge and Frenzy, and Synthesis Abilities like Wanton Destruction.
  • Beast-Scent Adept and its upgrade are useful for increasing Basilio's evasion against Human and Beast enemies, making him a valuable party member.
  • Berserker Enlightenment and Veneration help reduce the MAG cost for studying Berserker Archetypes, making it more manageable.
