What makes having Agnea in the group worth it?

[Chadwick Strongpants]

Don't get me wrong, I like her and her happy go lucky journey is charming as heck, but I just think her dancer skillset is underperforming. Am I missing something?

[Chiramu]

Agnea is useful to buff Osvald lol

[Sinner]

She "buffs"

[Chadwick Strongpants]

Thanks for the advice everyone, this was very helpful o/

Some of the buffs she can multi-cast with her innate aren't immediately obvious. I made her a Scholar so she can group-cast Advanced Magic, which is pretty rad when she's in a group with both Osvald and Temenos, not to mention benefiting from it herself. Peacock Strut is also very much worth casting on magic characters, and I assume Lion Dance is the same for physicals.

shes my main and so overleveled as i am doing all stories at same time.. that plus having her as cleric too means she is great for me as support/heal

once you get to the point where you can safely farm on higher danger zone, you will have better option like,
make a team consist of 1x Dancer+Inventor, and 3x Merchant.
Stack as much Leaves Boosting stuff as you can, increase as much encounter as you can.
Go to a higher level area with monster that have lots of HP.
All 3 Merchant just Spam Bifelgan's Bounty the Damage you dealt = Leaves.
Dancer Inventor use latent power Arkar Coil to gain back BP for whole team, then Bifelgan's Bounty again.
With the right setup each battle is around 2-3min and you earn around 15k~20k Leaves from Bifelgan's Bounty alone. if you include the leaves you made each fight and stuff you sell away, Leaves just keep rolling.

p.s with the same setup and you are rich, you can cheese quite some battle as well with hired help, Veteran Soldier or Foreign assassin Spam

in the end you will need to use all 8 character anyway, cough cough Final Final boss fight wink wink...

latent + arrow of fortune

[Lucyfar]

AoE dagger attack
Kick that can break ANYONE
Latent power that make everyskill she uses AoE, you can combo that with other jobs skills on her and with her kick you can break in AoE

also her kick scales with your strongest physical weapon, it's easy to get 9.999 damage with her kick

put any secondary job on her and she is a really solid character

there is no bad character in this game

[Lucyfar]

get her the last merchant passive

she starts with full latent power every fight

buffs entire party with good buff skill at the start of every battle

profit

[Sprocket]

"get her the last merchant passive" thanks thats a good tip

Agnea's latent power is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bonkers.

Agnea + Warrior = Full Aggressive Slash against ALL enemies
Agnea + Rogue = All Steal, All Darkest Night, All Armor Corrosive, All Shackle Foe, All Surprise Attack, All HP Thief
Agnea + Merchant = All Arrow of Fortune, All Collect, All Ember
Agnea + Apothecary = All Icicle, All Rehabilitate, All Poison Axe, All Replenish Health, All Weak to Poison
Agnea + Hunter= All Cleaving. All Thunder, All Abating Orb, All Leghold Trap

Fact of the matter is that the least useful thing you can do is make Agnea a spell caster, all of the most beneficial things that the Scholar and the Cleric get, don't have any synergy with her latent power and she is the third best caster in the game, meaning that you get infinitely more use out of those classes if you just leave them to your dedicated casters. However, Agnea is arguably the second best user of EVERY other class based purely on her utility (with the exception of Warrior which goes to Castti). And with full Merchant investment, she can do any of this on the first turn and with two BP every single battle.

Her latent works with Sacred Shield, Prayer to the Flame, Mystical Staff, Analyse, and Advanced Magic, all of which have use cases. Given Agnea has significantly better elemental attack compared to physical (she actually has the same elemental attack scaling as Temenos,) I'd say Cleric at least is much better on her than most non-caster jobs. Group Sacred Shield is no joke when you need it.

Some fun interactions start showing up with the late-game classes, though. Armsmaster's Mischievous Step and Conjurer's Dance of Immunity count as dances, and trigger Agnea's dance partner. Multi-cast Dance of Immunity can be useful for certain bosses, and being able to hit everyone with Sixfold Strike is there when you absolutely need to know everyone's physical weaknesses.

And of course, giving her Inventor and having Arkar's Coil hitting everyone is really good if you feel you need that emergency button.

I thought so at first as well but it turns out that's definitely incorrect.

I know I'm about to drop some mad blasphemy but I've done multiple runs and spent about ~150 hours in this game with a damage meter and by far the most surprising things I learned was...

Agnea is a stupid OP elemental AoE caster. You'll notice that her special ability is the same as Osvald's but inverted.

Scholar is one of the last jobs I tried with her, and since I already knew how to badly break a certain shonen battle manga protagonist at the start of a new run , I wasn't concerned about dps and thought screw it, why not.

She's a classic jrpg sleeper character, meant to seem largely weak and pointless but secretly quite busted in some surprising ways .

I see a lot of people focus too much on her latent power and that's why they think Scholar wouldn't work for her, since it's already AoE stuff. But due to her high Elemental Attack, she really provides great damage with Scholar, while allowing you to use her latent for her Dancer skills.

I haven't been using Agnea herself, but I have been using Dancer well. Specifically, its divine skill is really strong. I have it on Osvald, and at the start of boss fights I have been using it on him, so he can then Teach all three other party members. With the night prebuffs from Throne I only need a few actions of setup at the start, and my entire party (except for Osvald) has 9 turns of every buff, which has been enough to win every fight so far (completed three stories). Outside of boss fights, it has also been handy for its elemental attack buff on Osvald during mugging, and for its guaranteed break ability.
