Introduction:

As we progress into mid game we encounter enemies that throw the entire team into a disarray, AP drains and chain stuns just ending making you lose hope in your party pretty quickly. To counter this you will have to level up to make your characters tanky or higher than the current level of enemies. Though there is an alternate way to make things work and it comes at a cost by humbling Maelle and letting her tank. Maelle’s defensive stance has a 50% damage reduction and with a few other Pictos and well slotted Luminas she can be an impressive raid boss.

Summary of the Build

Maelle will not only be taking the hits from enemies but also provide AP to the other team members and preparing a setup for Verso. Verso on the other hand will be the main Break generator. Monoco will be our utility, dealing multitarget damage, healing and reviving.

Notes

1. Maelle can change into Virtuose Pose upon collecting enough Gradient charges and triggering the same. After the Gradient Attack you can follow up with Momentous strike or Fleuret Fury for huge damage. This can be done at the end if things are in your party’s favour or when the enemy is broken.

2. Make sure not to waste Verso’s Free Aim shots if his meter is full, use 2-3 free aim shots then a base attack to refill them.

3. If Maelle dies use Monoco to revive and heal her.
