Some latent abilities should be used immediately, like Agnea’s (the dancer). (Think of a Limit Break from Final Fantasy.) They’re special skills that you need to fill a gauge to use. Latent abilities are a new feature in Octopath Traveler 2. The best job combinations in Octopath Traveler 2 Use your latent abilities wisely This game mainly uses the stats attached to weapons more so than stats gained from leveling, so make sure that your gang is geared up before taking on a tough boss. Prioritize equipment over character levelsĮven if your Hikari is at level 50, he won’t deal much damage if he doesn’t have appropriate gear.
If you’re taking a lower-level character through a boss fight just to leech some EXP, be careful - if that character ends the fight with 0 HP, they won’t gain any EXP anyway. While you can likely cheese through a boss if you’re a bit underleveled, you should try to have your entire party at that level. This might seem obvious, but the recommended levels for specific areas are recommended for a reason. If you can break the boss before its next turn, you should definitely do so. Take a look at the turn order at the top of the screen and do the math. You know when you play a JRPG and the enemy charges up and you normally defend the next turn to avoid taking massive damage? You can do that in Octopath Traveler 2, but you can also break their shield to cancel the attack entirely. If you have the ability to burst down multiple opponents at once with skills that hit multiple enemies, you should use them, especially against small fry. I struggled more against bosses when splitting the damage on the additional enemies the boss would summon, but succeeded easily when I focused on one at a time. This tip is a bit situational, but since broken enemies - enemies with no shield up - take more damage, it’s better to focus on one enemy at a time, breaking their shields and then unleashing tons of damage.

When you select who to attack, the name of the enemy will be displayed at the bottom of the UI. Unless you use a Scholar’s “Analyze” ability, you can’t see how much HP an enemy has, but you can estimate it by reading the color of the enemy’s name. Pay attention to the color of enemy names Since you’ll be forced to keep your first-pick around for a while, you should make sure to make an educated decision on who to pick.
Picking the “wrong” character won’t put you at a big disadvantage, as you can collect the remaining seven characters pretty quickly and easily. You will have to keep them in your party until you finish their storyline. When it comes to selecting your first character, choose wisely. Your first character choice is permanent until you beat their story There’s a lot to do in the game, so let’s get started. The game brings over lots of elements from the first title, but adds some quality-of-life changes and new systems that even veteran players will have to figure out.īelow, I list out 16 (yes, that’s eight times two on purpose) tips to help you navigate the gigantic world in Octopath Traveler 2.
