A note on Minstrel
It is often asked why pure-healing stats such as Minstrel are not used for open world supports. This is because without enough Power, you will often miss out on event credit and tags due to being unable to deal damage to enemies before they die. In large groups, damage from enemies is very spread-out as well so heavy defense is generally not needed nor advised.

In each of these tomes, you can often just spam skills to great effect, but it is strongly advised you sit down and learn what the skills in each tome do. Some big ones to memorize:
- Chapter 3 Heated Rebuke - circular pull that can group enemies
- Epilogue Ashes of the Just - provides a very powerful buff to nearby allies
- Epilogue Eternal Oasis - increases all healing allies (including you) receive
- Chapter 4 Shining River - a large waterfield that heals
- Chapter 1 Desert Bloom - a powerful heal
- Chapter 1 Unflinching Charge - Provides stability, which grants quickness
- Chapter 3 Valiant Bulwark - a projectile-hate bubble
- Epilogue Unbroken Lines - provides extreme defense to nearby allies for 5 seconds, also triggers
