Faycal Pros and Strength

Alert Skill is Powerful

Faycal has two 'Alert' skills and excels at combat by attacking when enemies enter or move within the skill's range. Use the [Heart of Alert] skill you get at Rank 11 and the appropriate gear to inflict significant damage during the enemy's turn with the Alert skill.

Use Different Alert Skills

The Rank 3 Alert Skill [Arrow of Guardian Convallaria] not only deals damage but also interrupts the enemy's actions, though it only attacks once. In contrast, Rank 7 [Alert Short] does not interrupt actions but can attack up to two times. Use them according to the situation.

Unlimited Number of Counter Attacks

The Rank 5 Skill [Eye for an Eye] counters ranged attacks. There is no limit to the number of times you can Strike Back in the same turn, so make use of items, terrain, buffs, and other factors to maximize your damage with Strike Back.

Excellent Debuffs

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