Normin Skill Tree and Lord of the Land Synergy
Normin are small, elusive Seraphs scattered throughout the world of Tales of Zestiria, and finding them is crucial for effective equipment customization. Each Normin you discover can be assed to a specific Lord of the Land, which in turn influences the skills that appear on newly acquired equipment.
The core mechanic involves understanding that each Lord of the Land has a set of associated skills. When you ass a Normin to a Lord of the Land, that Normin will begin to "level up" that Lord's associated skills. As the Normin gains experience (through combat and exploration), the skills associated with its assed Lord of the Land become more potent and have a higher chance of appearing on equipment found in that Lord's territory.
For example, if you ass a Normin to the Lord of the Land in a region known for its abundance of 'Attack' skills, that Normin will help to increase the likelihood of finding equipment with enhanced attack bonuses. Conversely, assing a Normin to a Lord associated with defensive skills will make it easier to find gear that boosts your party's survivability.
The synergy comes into play when you strategically ass Normin to maximize your desired skill acquisition. If you're looking to build a powerful offensive character, you'll want to ass Normin to Lords of the Land that are associated with offensive skills like 'Attack,' 'Critical,' or 'HP Boost.' For a more defensive build, focus on Lords associated with 'Guard,' 'Defense,' or 'Resistance.' You can check the skills associated with each Lord of the Land in the game's menu. By carefully managing your Normin assments, you can tailor your equipment drops to perfectly complement your party's combat roles and overall strategy, making the process of gearing up much more efficient and rewarding.
