Best Gem Recommendations
Character | Best Gems |
|---|---|
Matthew | Accurate Grace, Doublestrike, and Steelcleaver |
A | Lifesaving Expertise, Lifebearer, and Soothing Breath |
Nikol | Steel Protection, Brimming Spirit, and Ironclad |
Glimmer | Lifebearer, Swelling Blessing, and Lifesaving Expertise |
Shulk | Tailwind, Ultimate Counter, and Brimming Spirit |
Rex | Disperse Bloodlust, Analyze Weakness, and Doublestrike |
Na'el | Steelcleaver, Flowing Form, and Doublestrike |
Matthew needs a Dexterity and Strength boost to help him land more hits and deal damage. Doublestrike will help him maximize his damage while refilling his main Arts quickly.
A and Glimmer need to maximize their Healing, making those Gems crucial since each one boosts their Healing while offering some revive benefits for challenging fights. Glimmer also has multiple buffs, making Swelling Blessing essential.
Nikol must maximize his Aggro, HP, and Block Rate, so few attacks will hit or kill him. If you struggle to build Aggro at the start of fights, choose Perilous Presence.
Shulk is a dodge tank, making Tailwind and Brimming Spirit necessities. Ultimate Counter works well since he deals tons of damage, which further boosts his damage. Go with Accurate Grace if Shulk keeps missing his auto-attacks.
As for Rex, he builds Aggro quickly, making Disperse Bloodlust a necessity. On top of that, he deals most of his damage through Critical Hits, making Analyze Weakness excellent while getting more hits with Doublestrike.
Na'el also needs to maximize her attacks, but you can't play as her. If you want her to function well alone, try Steelcleaver, Flowing Form, and Doublestrike for more damage and auto-attacks. Go with Disperse Bloodlust if she keeps drawing Aggro.

Party Accessory and Manual Recommendations
Character | Best Accessories | Best Manuals |
|---|---|---|
Matthew | Thermo Headgear, Lustrous Armring, and Warped White Brooch | Strategy Manual vol. 5 |
A | Gold Gear Choker, Devotional Necklace, and Mercy Earring | Strategy Manual vol. 8 |
Nikol | Sergeant's Headband, Colorful Feather, and Smart Protector | Strategy Manual vol. 1 |
Glimmer | Gold Gear Choker, Affection Ring, and Crystal Earrings | Strategy Manual, vol. 18 |

Rex | Gold Necklace, Lustrous Armring, and Silver Earrings | Strategy Manual vol. 6 |
Na'el | Nopon Strap, Cracked Crystal, and Violent Stone | Strategy Manual, vol. 18 |
Matthew's Accessories focus on boosting his damage while giving him a bit more Critical Hits. As for the Manual, he'll get more TP, which synergizes well with Tanks in a Chain Attack and also deal more damage during a Chain Attack if you complete his Order.
A's focuses on maximizing her Art recharge since her best Healing Arts can take a while to activate. The choker also helps her take fewer hits, so she won't go down. The Manual can also boost the team's damage in a Chain Attack while adding more TP to the group.
Nikol will get a boost to his Defense, constantly build Aggro, and also improve his Block Rate when his health gets low. The Manual can help you boost survivability after the Chain Attack.
Glimmer also needs help with lower Aggro, though the other accessory will boost her Healing. You'll also fill your Chain Attack gauge faster, helping your party to deal more damage.
Shulk should maximize his Evasion, making Misanga great for brutal fights. He'll have higher Evasion during his auto-attacks and get more Aggro. As for the Manual, it goes well with a Defender while giving more TP to the team, making him great for a first order.
Rex tends to get too much Aggro, making the Gold Necklace vital. On top of that, you'll boost his Critical Hits while gaining Chain Attack meter as he lands Critical Hits, which Rex often does. On top of that, the Manual will also help the team build more damage and land Critical Hits.
Na'el uses Arts often, making the recharge important, while the Cracked Crystal and Violent Stone will help her with damage. As for her Manual, it'll allow the party to ignore Defense during a Chain Attack, helping you to reach the millions in damage.

Best Fusion Art Recommendations
Character | Best Fusion Art Combos | How They Work |
|---|---|---|
Matthew | Backspin Punch and Detonating Hit | The two have a high Power Multiplier, allowing you to maximize your damage. |
Mighty Strike and Raging Force | The boosted front damage and the chance to ignore defense has massive damage potential. | |
Revolt Uppercut and Energy Boost | The two will deal decent damage while allowing Matthew to get a damage buff. | |
A | Cross Ray and Skyfoil | Sky Foil has the highest Power Multiplier while applying Attack Down, allowing A to apply a debuff while maximizing her heal. |
Shaker Edge and Lost Ray | The combination maximizes the damage from a Topple effect and applies Accuracy Down. | |
Light Field and Sword Mirage | One heals, and the other applies Evasion Up, making them synergize when used together. | |
Nikol | Whirlwind and Blitz Punch | Both apply AoE Aggro, allowing Nikol to maximize his Aggro. |
Steady Assault and Machine Clap | He'll deal damage, boost his defense during Art use, and get a Defense Up, preventing him from taking damage. | |
Motor Lifter and Smart Bomb | Smart Bomb has the highest Power Multiplier, allowing Nikol to maximize damage from his Launch. | |
Glimmer | Illusory Bloom and Daybreak Hymn | Glimmer will deal damage while also healing teammates, allowing her to multitask. |
Great Garland and Meteor Flame | The two have a high Power Multiplier while also healing around her and applying Ether Defense Down to the opponent. | |
Flare Aria and Burning Ballad | The two apply Attack and Critical Rate Up, allowing you to help everyone deal more damage. | |
Shulk | Stream Edge and Monado Purge | The combo maximizes Shulk's Power Multiplier while applying Break and boosting damage if enemies attack Shulk. |
Heavy Rush and Monado Rage | Shulk will deal good damage while also forcing enemies to lock onto him. | |
Slit Edge and Monado Armor | Shulk will inflict Bleed, deal damage, and activate an Armor Veil around him. | |
Rex | Anchor Shot and Sword Bash | Rex can Topple enemies while also dropping their Resistance, preparing Rex for his other Arts. |
Double Spinning Edge and Cross Blaze | Both Arts use Rex's Critical Hit Rate to recharge the Art and boost his damage. | |
Dual Blast and Rolling Smash | The combo lets Rex apply Launch while combining his two highest Power Multiplier Arts. | |
Na'el | Detonating Wave and Double Impulse | Both of these Arts boost Na'el's damage, so if she attacks from the side with nearly full health, she'll deal severe damage. |
Lightning Bash and Compound Force | Both are AoE moves with high Power Multipliers, maximizing her damage to multiple enemies. | |
Demolition Bullet and Bounding Ray | This one takes advantage of Na'el's highest Power Multiplier Art while having a 50 percent chance to ignore defense. |
Even though these are excellent Fusion Art combinations, try other options since they can work well. For example, Matthew's Raging Force also fuses well with Backspin Punch, so see what works for your play style.
