Osvald does a ton of damage, but is limited by his early mana pool. He doesn’t have much and his skills are expensive to use. However, he is good at killing many enemies at once. He’s also great at revealing weaknesses at the start of a fight, so you don’t have to spend a few turns guessing.

Temenos’ healing for the entire party is helpful, and his holy magic deals tons of damage. His latent ability ensures that he can break shields, making him a boss destroyer. Pair him with Slone (who’s nearby!) to really destroy your opponents on the opening turn of the night.

Hikari is a traditional JRPG warrior. He deals massive damage and can defend allies by provoking enemies. He is a trusty tanky boy who can cook. His lack of magic makes him difficult to start with, as he only sports two methods (sword and polearm) to break shields early.

The light originates in the southern part of the western continent, near Casti, below Agnea and Partio.
