Faycal Pros and Strength

Alert Specialist

Faycal has two 'Alert' skills and excels in combat by attacking when enemies enter or move within the skill's range. By combining the [Heart of Alert] skill you get at RK 11 and the appropriate gear, you can inflict significant out-of-turn damage during the enemy's turn with Alert skills.

Use Appropriate Alert Skills

The RK 3 Alert Skill [Arrow of Guardian Convallaria] has a wider range, deals damage only once, and interupts enemy actions. On the other hand, the RK 7 [Alert Short] does not interrupt actions but can attack up to two times. Use them according to the situation.

Excellent Debuffs

His Trait can apply debuffs every time you deal damage, so he can contribute in battle against bosses even without using Alert skills.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for Faycal

Aim to Reach 3★ → 5★

Star Level Up PriorityRecommended Star Level
A Tier3★ → 5★

At 3-stars, Faycal's debuffs become guaranteed, and at 5-stars, his crit rate is boosted significantly. Since Faycal has a strong trait, you should aim for 3-star first. If you don’t have a higher-priority character to invest in, going for 5-stars is also worth considering.

Recommended Gear, Tarots, & Engravings

Recommended Weapons for Faycal

Irian Combat BowIrian Combat BowCornucopia LongbowCornucopia LongbowMelee Mega CrossbowMelee Mega Crossbow

Equip the [Irian Combat Bow] when using mainly [Alert] Skills or the [Cornucopia Longbow] against single-target bosses. The [Melee Mega Crossbow] is viable for [Strike Back] builds, but Faycal is not typically a character that should take hits.

Recommended Trinkets for Faycal

Hunter's IntuitionHunter's IntuitionTrue LensTrue LensCrystal Burst ArmorCrystal Burst Armor

When using [Alert] Skills, equip [Hunter's Intuition]. For single-target bosses or a balanced approach, use [True Lens]. If focusing on [Strike Back], equip [Crystal Burst Armor].

Recommended Tarots for Faycal

Destruction of The TowerDestruction of The TowerRays of the SunRays of the SunTemptation of The DevilTemptation of The Devil

If you're using [Alert] Skills or [Strike Back], [The Tower] is recommended. Otherwise, equip Tarots that increase your damage output.

Recommended Engravings for Faycal

Wand icon Wand
Wand icon Wand
After using a [basic attack], [skill], [strike back], or [assisting attack], gains 1 random [Level 2 Attribute Buff].
Sword icon Sword

At the end of the turn, there is a 50% chance to gain [Engraving Resonance]. Effect: When using an [active skill] next time, refunds the NRG consumed and resets the CD. The skill effect has a CD of 4 turns. (Does not trigger in real-time combat. The effect changes to increasing HP, ATK and DEF by 5%)

The usual [Sword + Wand] emgravomg combo synergizes well with Faycal due to its damage and lifesteal. Alternatively, [Wand + Wand] enhanes Faycal when using a more [Alert]-focused build.
