With these skills in mind, players will want to start the Soloist in Rank 2 or 3. More damage and more Bleed means Harvest and Slice Off will get plenty of value here, along with teammates who benefit from widespread Bleed stacks. This Jester wants to focus on dealing damage instead of just stress healing in the back. It buffs a random ally and allows Solo to have a 50% chance to give the Jester an assured Critical hit on their next attack.Īfter that, the rest of the Soloist's build should fall into place. Busker's Haul: If using Solo or just relying on the Jester to be a dodge-tank, Busker's Haul is perfect.Since the Jester is almost always moving, it's very easy to continually gain Dodge, especially when combined with an upgraded Razor's Wit. Seamen's Boots: (Shroud only) Whenever the Jester moves, they have a 66% to gain 1x Dodge.

Since the Virtuoso can hit 8 speed base, this is a free stack of Dodge at the beginning of the turn. At the start of the turn, if the holder has 8 or more speed, they have a 50% chance to gain 1x Dodge. Enlightening Element: (Sprawl Only) On hit, the Enlightening Element has a 25% chance to apply 3 stacks of burn.This allows them to make the most of Solo's Speed buff so they can use Finale at the beginning of the next round. If players find themselves in need of more damage, they can keep Solo and drop Encore for Finale. Solo should be used after it's been upgraded, so the Jester can be a dodge-tank against enemies that tend to focus the front two ranks. Fade to Black also has the benefit of cutting enemy accuracy, which can help the front line stay healthy. Razor's Wit or Fade to Black place combo tokens and 'dance' the Jester between Ranks 3 and 4. To use this build, starting the Virtuoso in Rank 3 or 4 allows access to all of his skills. The only problem is that it's missing Bleed applications, but Solo or Encore can be switched out for more bleed effects like Harvest. The strength of this build is that it does a little bit of everything players would want out of a jester: combo token placement, debuff application, stress heals, dodge tanking, and Encore shenanigans. However, this set is usually a solid starting point to help fans feel out the role they want their Jester to fulfill for their team. Since the Virtuoso can be built in so many different ways, it's highly encouraged to adapt these skills to a specific team's needs.
