4* Character Overview + Teambuilding Guide [Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 06. 2024
- EVERYONE has been asking me for 2 things: a guide to all the 4*s and a guide on Teambuilding. I figured I could just combine them into one video, since pretty much everyone is just rerolling for 5*s and then filling in the gaps with lower rarity units. I'm going to be highlighting what I feel are the main points of each of the 4*s in the game, whether it's as an attacking role, supporting role, or even just sitting in the backline (Yes, some units really are at their best just chilling back there)! Hopefully you guys learn some tricks that can help you build your own teams!

Let me know in the comments - who's your favorite 4* unit and how do you like to utilize them?
Personally my favorite is Brigitte - a 4* Cleric yet to be released in EN! She's not the best unit but she's precious and MUST BE PROTECTED!!!

31:14 Outro
1. which one to choose limit break or awakening?
2. When i can unlock special skill?
Are 3* units worth anything or can I just sell all their stones i get from pulling? If I'm a spender and plan to get most 5*s, should I still spend resources upgrading 4* units? ex Is there content that will require me to use 3* or 4* units in the future?
I’m super early in the game but so far Merritt is my favorite 4 star.
I really love Kurtz! He is simple to use and still very effective early in the game
I really like Noelle. She is a great pocket character since she can buff, debuff, and hit like a truck. And she enables her own nuke in Break phase. She also has the 10% exp boost skill which I’ve been liking in early game.
I've been waiting for this vid and this was so informative! Thank you for making COTC guides. They"ve been very helpful.
You did such a marvelous job at explaining so clearly so much information it's baffling to me, Thank you and Keep going !! You are an absolute Legend !!
Your channel has been super useful for this game so far, hope you continue growing now that the global version is live!
Recently rediscovered CotC and it amazes me how much I still use your guides. Finally managed to beat Tikilen. You're the best and I hope new and returning players all find your guides!
Many thanks from a fellow adventurer for all your hard work in creating these videos and for sharing with us. Just downloaded the game and thinking of investing some of my time into it, so I really appreciate you sharing a little knowledge and experience with me before I do so.
I look forward to enjoying the game and learning a little from your videos as I go.✌️
Clear, concise, and straight forward. Your voice is nice too, brother. Really good guide. Love the Pokemon analogy. Keep it up!
I have gotten to the credits. My main game plan went as follows
1. Viola front Noelle back
This was mainly to give Noelle’s elemental crush an extra debuff turn.
Other wise, Viola debuff. Noelle big wind damage
2. Miles front Iris back
Miles is primarily here to give Rampart to my merchant, buffing both defenses. Iris is here for attack buffs, and I’ve awakened her twice because I’ve pulled her so much.
3. Devin/Tressa (I just pulled her) and Camilla. The merchant redirects attack yo them and Camilla has a passive skill that grants small HP regen to her front partner when she’s in the back. I also have Tressa the Beast and Dragon Scarf for more Hp regen and SP regen so she can frontline forever. Camilla come in for a hit in break phase or to 4 hit a bow weak boss.
4. Millard front and Shelby back. Millard does group heals, Shelby does targeted heals. That’s thier main job.
So let’s see how my strats measure up to this video.
Simply MARVELOUS guide. Thnx for the great work and also doing that while being completely f2p is extra fantastic 😍
This was super informative, and well presented!
Thanks for this vid, Shizukatz! You're truly a pillar of the community.
I was iffy about spending the resources to max out Noelle, since I had Rita already built and have Sophia and Therese where the overlap on the same team wouldn't be great. But she ended up being my MVP on Ri'tu cup. I'd been using Rita for so long that it took direct comparisons to realize just what I was missing lol
Thank you so much, I've been waiting for this
good video. it's nice to know im not absolutely off the mark with team building and units i've found to be good over others
wow this video is rly well made, LOVE IT
Loving this content! Thanks for teaching us the game \o/
MARVELOUS guide...with Tytos voice :D Look forward to more comprehensive guide related to the game
Thanks for all your help! Awesome video
The best CotC channel hands down. I am looking forward to your Lynette guide.
Thanks for your time and effort making these!
Your videos have been super helpful and are easy to follow. Much love and hope your channel keep growing!
Top quality content! loving the timestamps!
Recommended reading for beginners⭐️
Excellent Content!
God Tier content, thank you. Thumbs the video up everyone, this man is looking out for us.
Keep em tips and tricks coming :)
Meena has been my fav 4star so far. Surprised with her versatility and I just love her now. lol
Thank you so much for this video, I killed the Jester earlier today and I was really wondering if my team was working properly or not
Thanks for your work man🙏🙏
Favorite 4* is Camilla so far. She's one of my few awakened units, and I pair her with Lynnette. She's really fast, so if I switch out Lynnette to get the 10% attack buff, it will happen first in the round making sure my attackers get the buff. She also hits hard and bleed seems strong. The regen passive is great too.
Thank you soo much, i was waiting for this !!!, i know i shouldn't focus on a single team with full 5*s thats nonsense just cause of the shielding mechanic
Thanks. I was looking who to use for Spear and Bow characters.
Love the content! I'd like to see a video about how you suggest f2p players should spend their rubies long term. The recent step up banner, for example, was a great value for the first step or two. Are there special banner events we should be saving for?
Amazing video thank you!
Thanks for advance it helped me a lot
Clear, concise, and easy to understand -- phenomenal channel you've got here!
I was wondering, do the elite cait enemies have set spawn locations or are they randomized? Also, will the two collab events be coming to EN? I'm a fan of Nier, and was wondering if I should save my rubies to be ready for the event.
Thanks for putting so much effort and information into your videos!
Elite caits have set spawns!
As for the Nier collab, it didn't come to Japanese for a bit over a year (16 months to be precise), so assuming it's anything even remotely close to what they have planned for the EN release schedule, you have plenty of time! Bravely, on the other hand, came out around Month 7.
Criminally undersubbed. Thank you
Amazing content!! Keep it up :)
What can we expect in terms of future units? Anything worth saving for?
C Y R U S
After seeing the list of time stamp in the vid. Instant like 👍.
Love the content! Any chance of us getting a "what units to save for?" Video. I pulled Lynette, viola, and theo on my initial reroll so now my plan is to save to round out my roster.
A lot people praise Cyrus from being the best magic dealer in the game so he is someone to look out for. Next would be Therion from original Octopath Traveler aswell thanks to his 6 multi hit dagger combo. Last one I think is Agnes from Bravely Default franchise as fan favourite by the community
That's an excellent idea.
I play Another Eden, and a channel that covers that game has "should you summon" videos that give a lot of information from a f2p standpoint that can be very helpful to f2p, or newer players in account management and building rosters to suit thier needs.
Again, I think this is an excellent idea. 👍
Thx alot ! Great vidéo 😀
thankyou, it's so helpful, though wish had seen this before rolling too much for a 4star healer.. Camilla and Merrit were there! Not sure how long's the wait for Araune, my first JP 5star unit and waifu. It feels weird talking to NPC in NA without her.
Awesome info, thx alot
You're great! Keep it up!
great video, thank you
My favorite 4* gotta be Shelby! Really like her design and how she plays.
But she still does not trump Sophia with her ranged book bonking! MY FAV
algorythm boost comment and keep up the great vids👍
Ah, I was unaware of the buff cap for Aslyte, I had her and Sophia in the same row.
Another great video. Keep it up!
One question I have is whether or not I should be saving my gems or using them to do pulls. I feel like the party I have is working good. I've been able to do quests without any trouble, but I don't know if I should be trying to get more units or, because I'm fine right now, hording my gems for future chars.
If you're fine with your current roster, I think saving is fine as well. There are a few pretty cool characters coming up like Cyrus!
@@ShizukatzCotC I will do that. Thank you!
Going for the master of all, but right now I am focusing on the side quest for extra rubies. My only 5* is theo and I don't think I will go for another pull. until I hit the wall of course. but right now I am quite content with my rooster. my rooster is just a standard. theo, meeno, ashlyt, bertrand, pia, trish, sophia and 1 fan 3* free. I have igrid but since I have bertrand and theo I choose for trish instead since I like her kit of having a healing option. not great but helped me a lot in some of the bosses. later on after trish maxed level (still 3*) I will level up igrid. nice video, my go to video for this game
Hey, I was wondering if you could give me some advice on my current team comp, and if I should keep pulling.
My current team is:
Tressa - Merrit
Lynette - Lucetta
Cedric (3.5) - Meena
Laura - Nanna
My other characters are:
Eunice, pearl, Jose, Guti, Conny, Carroll, Evelyn, Manuel, Menny, Rita (3.5), Saria, Jorge, Wingate (3.5), Kurtz (3.5), Felline, Aslyte (3.5)
Is my current team good, or would I be better off swapping certain other characters into it? Also, should I keep pulling? I want to get Cyrus when he is released, as well as either Ophilia or Lianna (I have decided which yet), so I figured I should start saving now, unless I really need to pull for more characters.
My favorite 4* is Pia, I like using her AOE spear to scout for spear weakness and set up spear resist down to enable Tressa who I also love using, and her “Pika” voice line is very cute
No
@@DnVFMVs D:
MAN do I love your stuff, I honestly have never shared a CZcamsr on my social medias until you because it's all just so damn good!
I made my team based off of the tips in your 5* reroll guide but there was one thing that this video mentioned that I didn't take into account - dead lanes! I had Fiore and Sigrid in the same lane, so I changed that. Currently rocking:
Peredir>Lynette
Theo>Sigrid
Fiore>Bertrand
Helga>Viola
very much appreciate all the helpful guides!
also i have a question, i know for lynette its better to save her awakening stone for upgrading her special skill to lvl10 but for other units i should just use it to awaken them right ?
Yup! For non-Lynette units, go for it!
Awesome video. I've yet to pull a Scholar....at all lol
This is a really well made an in depth guide thanks for putting it together! One thing I wanted to note is that, in the english version at least, Menno is referred to using they/them pronouns so you might want to use those instead of he/him when referring to them in the future
Love the channel, thank you for the guides and coverage for COTC. Would I be able to get into mid to late game saving for the more must have end game units releasing later if I start with a Lynette, only a few 4* being Rita, Laura, pia, aslyte, ashlan, and lucetta? I have a dupe for Lynette that can be used later on I’ve heard it’s needed for a skill I believe that releases later on, I appreciate any responses and advice anybody can give
Absolutely, but it depends on your patience; if you're okay with not being able to necessarily clear the new content as soon as it comes out, and are willing to wait for later banners to roll or new equipment to come out, you can definitely get by with a less powerful roster.
How hard is it to get multiple 3.5* characters to 4* without rolling? I have Rodion, Devin, Laura, Menno, and Trish in my team who are all 3.5*( The rest is lynette and viola) and I'm worried that the level cap will affect my gameplay once I reach into higher level content.
Amazing guide! You're my go-to when it comes to CotC tips! Currently at Master of All Chapter V, and I've hit quite a wall with a Req. Lv 50, while I'm still Lv. 40.
I guess it'll take a while to Level Up. Any tips for Leveling aside from Hunts? (I wanna save them and take the Lv. 50 Hunt when I can do it multiple times, instead of taking the lower leveled ones for max EXP gain).
@@hentaicheg Thanks for the pointers! I have also read your other comments in this video, and it has been quite helpful! I have been grinding for EXP near Shepherd's Rock (Master of All Ch.V) which requires Lv. 50, and I'm still at Lv. 40 (while the others are Lv. 37-39). Aside from Hunts, I guess the only thing I can do is to grind mats while taking mobs to get EXP.
I would personally like to get the more in depth hunt guide soon since I’m curious about the whole seal system and grading up 3.5 or 4.5* like do only certain seals drop in certain hunts or smt like that since I’m not confident in pulling my sofia to 5* lol
Coming soon xP
Regarding Peredir, I really like how they give the old man a valuable old trick. He can't keep up with the kids today, but he's got experience.
Thanks for the great videos man
Hey man need help ... how can i see what buffs é debuffs does? And how to see The icons for then?
Fantastic
I have Merritt in my comp, and I can't seem to find her backline regen passive you were talking about! I've been using her as a frontliner this whole time and was about to start reconsidering how I use her. Where in her skill board does that show up?
Merrit's backrow Regen is on her 2nd passive. It can be found on her 3rd Skill Board and requires at least Lv40 to unlock.
So i pulled Sofía, should i remove peredir then? I really like the analyze skill to reveal weakness and Sofía doesn't have it.
Another great video!!
I hope they give us more normal banner free pulls...I've yet to get an aoe healer and I might struggle without one later on...
Shelby was the reason why i was able to survive Gonska the Clown. She's the best
Can you make a video with just every character available by class (3*-5*). No details needed i just cant find a place anywhere that has every summon.
Cless has a more interesting back story than Wingate I'll have to say. wish I could find a place for him. But wingstes passive is great for scarecrow.
Fantastic video, thank you for making these! It helps me a lot with number crunching for the game! Also just want to say that Menno is canonically nonbinary and their pronouns are they/them! Maybe something to note for future videos!
Hey Shizukatz, do new travelers get added to Traveler’s Sacred Seal? Or is it safe to pull from it whenever??
New characters do get added to the Permanent Pool (and thus the Traveler's Sacred Seal pool), but it'll take a bit (prob a month or two) after any new characters' banners end before they get added. Usually they are added coinciding with a new Story Update.
I would like to ask what is the future content for the game.
More stories?
And overall storie or more self contained?
Side stories?
Thanks!
More overall story is already in the works!
Additionally, a new type of major content that's sure to keep players busy for a while are the Arenas, which are Superbosses! If you can defeat them, they join your team as a free 5*, but they're by no means easy :)
@@ShizukatzCotC thanks! So we get more stories? Nice!
You are the best!
Man, loving your stuff. I have Lynette, viola, A 3.5 sigrid, and 3.5 Menna. Should I be using my rubies on pulling for other 5 stars still or save til after tressa?
With that lineup, you're pretty set on 5*s. Potentially 4*s might actually be worth rolling for a few of actually, if all you have is Sigrid and Meena.
@@ShizukatzCotC ty sir!
yey finally!
Hey wanna ask well its a stupid situation where i get sigrid dupe like 3 4 times but i use it for limit break,um can i still get awakening shard for that chara again or crafting that chara fragment again??ive been a fool and wasted it and regret that😫
3-4* units do not have Awakening Stones :) Only 5*s.
Me: recently taken Shelby out
*gets to the apothecaries*
Me:puts her back in
After rerolling for 2 days i got fiore and viola both at full stars now i just have to save for Cyrus
I’ve unlocked hunt’s recently, should I clear the hunt first with my main party, or is it best to go with a straight power or wealth or fame party?
@@hentaicheg okay
Ah, just what I needed. There's a lot to take in with this game so it's not always easy to see how to evaluate a unit's kit. Good to know it's similar enough to the OG game. Adopting the philosophy of investing in the cutest girls is always worth it tho, so it's good the game gave me Fiore.
Speaking of cute girls, nice taste in idols!
You know what I want to know, going back to the "just rerolled Lynette and Viola 5* talk, should I keep pulling on banners like the Fiore/Sophia banner to get more try and get more 5 stars like those 2 or Theo. Or should I not? I literally don't have any of the "better" 4 stars you pointed out here like Lucetta, Sigrid, Ramona etc and I'm super worried about investing into subpar 4 stars.
I think that if you want to look for a few more units to round out your composition, now is a good time to do so, since the Step-Up banner has discounted rates. You don't necessarily need to pull all 5 steps, just pull as much as you feel you need.
@@ShizukatzCotC Thanks :)
Are this characters word at 3.5? And what's the difference?
Ah, I did have a question, though! I noticed 4* don't have Awakening Stones. How would you prioritize Awakenings vs. Level cap increase on 4*? I'm think maybe pick up the Awakening 1 stat bonus and then do level cap from then on.
Thanks!
This is a bit of a subjective matter, depending on who you ask and what their priorities are. Some people will say to Awaken first, some people like going to 65 for the influence and then Awakening.
Personally I like going to 70 first for the +1 BP and then Awakening afterwards.
@@ShizukatzCotC Mm, +1 BP does seem very useful. Thank you. Do people generally only bother with Awakening 1, or do they go all the way to 3 before maxing out level? (Last question on the subject, thank you very much for your time and attention)
@@DarkestSamus1 I personally advocate for going straight to Awakening III after 70.
Nice!!!!!!
7:20
yes, agreed
*Proceeds to have her knocked out every boss battle due to poor healing and breaking management*
Tnx for this, helpful for a newbie like me.
SEA server
I got Trissa, should i use her over devin?
So question regarding Devin. I haven't been able to get him to 4 stars yet due to hunts not being kind to me in terms of seals of the trader (Doesn't help that I'm only getting 2 rolls per run since my influence isn't high enough), but is the tank supposed to be so _slow_? It's to the point where he's going after pretty much every other enemy, which ends up putting me in situation where the tank is grabbing aggro after they've potentially taken out a party member. Am I going to have to resort to a party member casting a speed buff on him in order to be useful?
Yea, pretty much all characters with access to Taunt are slow. Later Merchants that don't have Taunt are noticeably faster, and even non-Merchants that get Taunt later are also very slow. It's designed that way on purpose as a balancing factor, but they probably went a bit overboard tbh.
@@ShizukatzCotC Mmm, annoying. You'd think that drawing all incoming damage to themselves would be enough of a drawback. Besides, if they go last doesn't that basically waste a turn of a taunt's duration? Not like you can fix this or anything, obviously, just thinking out loud.
I mean, drawing all enemy attack to themselves isn't intended to be a drawback lol :>
What about 4star units that can be upgraded to 5star? Is it safe to assume, they will be better than those that cant upgrade?
This video is about units that are just 4* as their max.
4.5* characters are categorized as full 5*s in discussions instead, and are not included in this video :)
To answer your question, Yes they will be stronger though.
Question: been playing. Most of these 4*s, I've been pulling are coming home as their 3* variants. Is this okay?
It'll be okay in the short term, but as explained in the video, you will eventually hit a bit of a wall as their lower level cap means they cannot equip higher level weapons and armor.
@@ShizukatzCotC I see. Well I'm sure the 4* variants will come home eventually. I'm enjoying peredir scanning everything for me
Do buffs stack in this game? So if I taunt with tressa (also buffing) and then use Lynette to buff, do they stack because they are two different characters using them? Or is the stronger buff used?
They do stack, yes! I'll have an in-depth video on buffing coming out soon :)
@@ShizukatzCotC awesome! Can’t wait…keep up the good content 👍🏻
thanks thanks thanks thanks
I’m confused. Merrit’s passive (which I haven’t unlocked yet admittedly) states that it gives the front a buff. I thought that means all the front gets it, so am I wrong?
Passives that read "Joint" (I think that's what it says in the Eng vers.) apply to the character themselves + the ally in the same row.
@@ShizukatzCotC Thanks!
The biggest confusion I have so far is how exactly to get a 3.5 or 4.5 star unit to class up from guiding. I've had a couple 3.5's get the bump to 4 the first time I got a duplicate, but then I've had others, like Rodion, stay 3.5 after SIX dupes.
Ouch, that's unfortunately just bad luck. All you would have to do is pull the 4* version, and you missed six times D:
@@ShizukatzCotC Well at least that explains it, thanks.
Tressa has a 3 hit spear attack?
Like commented and subscribed 👍
Bruh seeing your gameplay in the background dealing 32k damage. Damn. Highest damage I have reached is 1.3k with my Sword guy
Hey man ... noob question how is the best way to use dupes? Somehow i got 3 violas! I dont know if this is good or bad ool
Dupe 5*s automatically get converted to Awakening Stones. It's not bad persay, as you can get a boost by Awakening the character (note: do not Awaken Lynette if you only have 1 Awakening Stone, you'll want it for later).
@@ShizukatzCotC ty man!
I use tahir. I thought he was strongest lol. I'll switch to Trish now tho i have her full 4* mode
What's better for my party a 4* Helga or a 3,5* Devin?
I'd say that generally the Helga because she's 4*. Both are pretty competent units, but the 4* is a decent advantage here.
Wingate
I have these things called the traveler's sacred seal, is it okay for me to use them?
Yes, those are basically just single-roll tokens. They don't count towards a Spark (200 rolls via rubies) and they just go off of the permanent pool. I would recommend just using them as you get them.
@@ShizukatzCotC Thanks, sorry for the late reply.
@@ShizukatzCotC do more units get added to that pool the longer the game goes on?
ive pulled respectable 5 and 4,5 stars, is it worth actively pulling now for some of these 4 stars? ive planned to safe my summons for now but aslythe and barad would be really useful to have now that i think about it
Ultimately I think it depends on how you're doing right now.
If Aslyte and Barrad are just like "oh they'd be cool to have" then I would just save and then hit them eventually.
But if you're actually struggling then rolling a little more could potentially be the play.
hey! I heard something about some limit break skill or something coming to west eventually? Have you explained it yet, should I worry about that?
Also Noelle ❤️ fat nukes and juicy xp boost
I haven't gone in depth into those yet as they probably won't be coming out in EN for a while.
