Class-by-Class Arcana Optimization Rules
Frontline Tanks
Equip Arcana with Barrier Absorption % and Team Damage Mitigation. Flat HP is useful early, but percentage mitigation scales far better in high-tier content.
Speed & Meter Supports
Equip cards that trigger Action Gauge Advances upon skill activation. This ensures continuous turn loops for your damage carries.
