Priorities

Prioritize Critical Hit and Fire ATK first. After that, it is recommended to put 2 points into all Triple Attacks to help him fill his Charge Bar consistently, as well as to make use of his strong one-foe attacks. Optionally, consider putting 2 points into Double Attack or 1 point into each C.A. DMG to further increase his damage. Otherwise, invest into HP, DEF, or his Support Skill for more survivability.
