His Regain is slightly weaker than the one of Apururu (UC) and Yoran-Oran (UC), but when he fights, he tends to gain TP during combat faster than them. As long as only he misses most of his MP, he prefers Nott over Moonlight, otherwise he tries to restore MP for the whole party.

Bard

Sword/Blade Madrigal, Hunter's/Archer's Prelude, Advancing/Victory March, Valor Minuet I - V, Mage's Ballad I - III, Sentinel's Scherzo

Pianissimo

• Complete Dawn.
  • Examine the Dilapidated Gate in Misareaux Coast (I-11).

• Does not engage.
  
• Recasts her songs shortly before they wear off.
• Song Priority:
  • Ballad: Based on party composition, rate of MP usage, and a target party member's remaining MP percentage (details below).
  • March: Unless another Bard is providing them, Victory March and Advancing March.
  • Madrigal: Unless another Bard is providing them, Blade Madrigal and Sword Madrigal.
  • Minuet : when both Marches and Madrigals are performed by other Bards, plays the highest level Valor Minuets not currently on the party.
• Pianissimo will be used for the player under certain conditions after Ulmia has two songs on the party.
  • Scherzo after taking a large amount of damage.
  • Ballad if the player's MP is under 75% and main job is WHM, BLM, RDM, SMN, GEO, or SCH.
  • Prelude and Minuet if main job is RNG.
• Ballad logic:
  • Ulmia tracks rate of MP usage to determine the target party member spending the highest percentage of their MP. (Official explanation - In Japanese)
    • It is possible for all party members to be at low MP and double Marches are still being played, due to failing this MP consumption check.
    • You can try forcing yourself to be the ballad target by resummoning Ulmia then pulling with a spell.
  • Cast Ballad if target party member's MP is below a certain threshold:
    • 75% if 3 or more party members (out of 6) have native MP, based on main and sub job.
    • 33% if 2 or fewer party members (out of 6) have native MP.
    • Can do double Ballads, depending on MP and timing of 2nd song expiration.
• *Advancing March grants 108/1024 Magical Haste.
• *Victory March grants 155/1024 Magical Haste.

• Prishe: Prishe and Ulmia will prioritize supporting each other
  • Ulmia will use Pianissimo and cast Sentinel's Scherzo on Prishe if she takes a large amount of damage in a single hit and two songs are already active. This seems to prevent the player from receiving Scherzo after AoE damage. (Doesn't apply to Prishe II)
    
  • Prishe: Prishe will cast Cure spells on Ulmia at yellow (75%) HP. (Other party members are healed at low HP)
  • Prishe II: Prishe II normally only has access to Curaga spells, but will cast Cure spells on Ulmia.
