The sheer range of effects possible with Concoct are staggering and guarantees that Castti will never be dead weight. Like Alfyn in Octopath Traveler, Concoct lets Castti mix certain ingredients to do anything from heal the party to inflict elemental damage. That said, what makes our Apothecary really stand out is her signature ability Concoct. Feel free to lean hard into these moves in random battles, as Castti’s passive ability Vigorous Victor will allow her to recover a significant chunk of her HP and SP upon victory. Rounding her kit out is Rehabilitate, which clears a party member of status ailments while providing immunity to them for multiple turns. Healing Touch heals and even revives a single party member, while Replenish Health grants healing over time. Meanwhile, if your group needs healing, Castti has you covered. If physical attacks don’t cut it, she can also throw Icicle at foes to deal ice damage. For physical damage, Castti can inflict single target axe damage with Poison Axe and group-wide hits with Sweeping Cleave. If you’d prefer a main character that’s more balanced, give Castti a serious look.Īs an Apothecary, Castti’s base moveset fills multiple party roles. Not only does this give Hikari major damage potential for bosses, he can cut through random battles extraordinarily fast. When his Latent Power gauge is filled, he can use one of three powerful special moves with no SP cost. Additionally, Hikari benefits especially well from the new Latent Power battle mechanic (think Limit Breaks from Final Fantasy 7). This is huge, as it gives our Warrior massive versatility and access to damage types he’d lack otherwise. Hikari’s Challenge Path Action works like Olberic’s, except Hikari can learn up to five skills from defeated opponents. The above qualifies Hikari as prime protagonist material, but we’re just getting started. This clears all positive effects on an enemy while inflicting damage, allowing Hikari to keep pressure on enemies who buff their defenses. You’ll want Hikari pushing damage as much as possible, but he also has utility in Enervating Slash. He can buff his attack power with the move Abide and by breaking enemy shields, so he’s remarkably self sufficient. Right out the gate, Hikari can deal major damage with swords and polearms. Sharing the Warrior class that Olberic donned in Octopath Traveler, Hikari is a powerhouse. Octopath Traveler II has no “true” protagonist, but Hikari comes awfully close.
