Acquisition
Special Features
  • Robel-Akbel avoids casting elemental magic that his target would resist. Does not accurately target weaknesses.
  • Attempts to magic burst off skillchains using -aja tier spells.
    • Robel will often try to double burst a skillchain but rarely succeeds without some kind of external fast cast bonus.
  • Robel-Akbel will use elemental magic of a tier that is sufficient to KO his current target (assuming the attack is not resisted), thus conserving his MP for future battles.
  • Unlike most magic wielding trusts, Robel-Akbel can sustain his magic attacks for long periods of time due to Occult Acumen and Null Blast (which he prioritizes when low on MP).
  • Casts Stun in response to enemy TP moves.
  • Will stand in place after engaging, only attacking enemies with his staff if they are within melee range.
  • Gains TP from casting spells and can use certain weapon skills at range.
  • Uses weapon skills at 2000 TP. Does not try to skillchain.
    • Null Blast - Converts damage dealt to MP. Additional effect: Magic evasion down.
Trust Synergy
  • Kayeel-Payeel: Robel-Akbel and Kayeel-Payeel will cast spells much more frequently: improved Fast Cast effectQuestion
  • Karaha-Baruha: Robel-Akbel opens skillchains when Karaha-Baruha is at 1000 TP.
