Strengths

    Local status effect
    .
  • Has a potent healing skill that can reach 4800 HP every 5 turns without external support.

    Duration: Indefinite
    . (Can't be reactivated.)

    1-turn cut to all allies' skill cooldowns.

activated due to the lack of effectiveness of her base skills. A sacrificial character is recommended to switch her from the backline to the frontline which allows you to take advantage of her utility as early as possible.

All of her skills can be used offensively or defensively depending on the situation.

Backline Supporter

Fraux is effective even in the backline. She can support the party by extending all local debuffs inflicted by Fire units. If an ally is knocked out, Fraux will then be able to join the fight and do what is mentioned in the Frontline Fighter section.

Synergy

Characters

Fraux is versatile and works especially well with Fire characters that can inflict local debuffs. Notable Fire characters with local debuffs are:

Additionally, sacrificial unitsCharacters that can cause themselves (or a party member) to be knocked out. that can be used to activate Fraux's Icon Arcarum Main Support Skill.png Strength UprightWhen Switching to Main Ally:

Classes

Notable classes with local debuffs are:

, she works especially well with Stamina-based setups. Because of her Status AttackUpStack.pngATK Up (Stackable)ATK is boosted (Stackable / Can't be removed)
, she hits hard even with Enmity setups. Weapons that boost the Skill Damage Cap (e.g. Ultima Weapons, Dark Opus Weapons, Ushumgal) immensely helps Fraux's damage output since a lot of her damage come from skills.

Given Fraux's already strong attacks when buffed with Status AttackUpStack.pngATK Up (Stackable)ATK is boosted (Stackable / Can't be removed)
, the need for the offensive nodes are reduced and instead allows the player to focus on multi-attack rate and improving her QoL with higher healing and more reliable debuffs. Critical Hit is not included in the above recommendation since, as stated previously, Fraux already has less needs for the offensive nodes so the more reliable but less potent ATK and Fire ATK nodes would do better. A huge portion of Fraux's damage comes from skills and as such, maxing the Skill Cap Up node is a must.

The Remaining Points (3):

  • DA or TA to maximize her multi-attack rate.
  • HP or DEF to further improve her survival.
  • ATK or Fire ATK to increase her base damage.

Gamewith's recommended EMP build for Fraux.

Priorities

Prioritize Skill DMG Cap and Healing first to boost Fraux's strengths. It's then recommended to spend points on Fire ATK and C.A. DMG which have the greatest benefits for offensive power.

After those, gauge what is best for Fraux. For more offensive power, get Critical Hit up to 3★. However, since Fraux's multiattack rate is lacking, getting points to Double Attack or Triple Attack is recommended as well. If Fraux's firepower is sufficient and is often used in high difficulty fights, then it's recommended to take DEF and HP instead.
