There are over 60 characters in this game, and each character is classified into different classes and tiers. Also, to gain victory in battles, players need some strategies to use. So, here we are with our new Octopath Traveler beginner's guide to give you a good explanation of everything you need to know in this game to win battles and choose the correct path. 

 

Octopath Traveler Beginner's Guide for Combat Guide

The battles in this game are primarily random enemy encounters, but there are some influential enemy bosses players have to fight on some occasions. And also, the combat will take place as a turn-based one which is interesting. 

 

Players can use their characters' skills to fight and eliminate enemies according to the class they belong to and the weapon they have equipped. When attacking the enemies, always focus on your character's health status because altogether ceased health points mean you are no longer on the battlefield but in the graveyard. Haha. 

 

What is the win condition of the battles in this game? If you need the victory, you must control your characters to take down the enemy's health status to zero while protecting your team. When you use the skills to attack enemies, wait until the right time comes to unleash the most potent blows once to make the enemies die from one shot. 

 

Right time means first trying to break the enemy's shield using regular attacks, and if the enemy's protection is broken, it will be represented by some cracks in the icon of the shield. By doing so, the players can paralyze the enemy's movements for a few seconds, and then they can take advantage of using their final but most potent blow. 

 

And also, the game has introduced a switch system that allows the players to keep the weaker characters in the back row until they refill their Health status and Spell Points to use their skills to kill all the enemies. When the heroes in the front row are exhausted in health and spell points, the players can switch them with the characters you have placed in the back row with the recharged skills and health. 

 

 

Octopath Traveler Beginner's Character Guide

Characters are significant in the Role-Playing games like this because if the players need to proceed through the game without struggling in one stage for a longer time, having the top-rated characters is the only solution. 

 

Each character the players will meet in this game has a different rarity, represented by the level of stars each character has. The players must acquire the characters with high rarities to battle with the most powerful enemies in this game. 

 

Here, there are characters with three stars, four stars, and five stars, and a character with five stars is more potent than a character with three or four stars. But you can upgrade your three or four-star characters into five-stars using different methods, and we will talk about it in the later part of our Octopath Traveler beginner's guide. 

 

Instead of the star rarity, all these game characters have been classified into eight classes: Warriors, Apothecaries, Thieves, Clerics, Scholars, Dancers, Merchants, and Hunters. This character classification for other classes has been done by considering the overall performance of the characters and what they specialize in. 

 

 

Do I Need All Eight Characters Octopath?

Even though there are eight class types, you won’t need all eight characters to start the gameplay in Octopath; just one is enough. 

 

Octopath Traveler Beginner's Guide for Upgrading Characters

Upgrading characters is another aspect we will cover in our Octopath Traveler beginner's guide because it's crucial that when the players are ready to challenge an enemy boss, their characters must be upgraded to some considerable extent to win. 

 

There are several ways the players can use to upgrade the characters, and let's take a look at them to get a brief idea. 

 

• Limit Break - Limit Break means increasing a character's level cap. Players need special Guidestones for certain characters, or players can use regular Guidestones such as silver, bronze, or gold. There are specific character types that the regular stones can be used, such as bronze for three-star characters, silver for characters with four stars, and gold for characters with five stars. 

 

• Awakening - Awakening is another method to upgrade your characters into more powerful ones than they were before. The players need the Guidestones to perform this awakening, and the characters can be awakened up to four times using the Guidestones. Players can increase the character statistics and skill slots to use in battles through this Awakening process. 

 

• Weapon Upgrades - Upgrading the weapons you use in battles is another way of upgrading the characters. The players can go to the weapon shop and buy several materials needed to upgrade the weapons you have equipped your players, and by doing so, players can upgrade the characters to have more victories in the game. 

 

 

What Level to Beat Octopath?

It’s better to upgrade the main characters you choose up to level 55 or max to beat the game. Otherwise, you will have to struggle with one stage for a longer time, and to prevent this time waste, try to level up more than level 55 to have smooth battles. 

 

Octopath Traveler Beginner's Guide for Earning Free Rewards

Rewards are beneficial in collecting because the resources you get as free rewards will be very helpful in progressing the game more and more rapidly. There are many ways of collecting free rewards in this game, and we will now explain the methods of collecting free rewards in our beginner's guide. 

 

• Feasts - Daily and Weekly missions belong to the Feasts, and the players can earn Guidestones, rubies, and many more valuable resources after completing these daily and weekly missions in the game. 

 

• Influences - there are several categories in the influence section, and each type comes with a ranked system. Players can earn more passive skills for the characters by playing these influence categories, rubies (in-game currency), and many more bonus rewards. 

 

So, if you have time after clearing the main stages, try these missions and categories of influence section to gather more skills, rubies, and other valuable resources. 

 

Octopath Traveler Beginner's Guide for Rerolling With LDPlayer 9

As we said earlier, the Tier system can categorize the characters according to their class or rarity. Another way of classifying the characters, considering how powerful they are in battles, is the Tier system. 

 

Earning a higher-tier character is every player's dream because a higher-tier character only means victories. But what can you do if you always get lower-tier characters when summoning them through the Guide System introduced in the game? 

 

You will need 300 rubies to summon ten characters at once from banners, and the game guarantees to give a higher rarity character when summoning ten characters once. 

 

If you did not get the characters in a higher tier as you think, the process of rerolling should be started, and it takes some time when you try to do it several times. But suppose you play the game with the best android emulator LDPlayer 9. By doing so, the players are allowed to use more than one in-game account at a time by creating clones of the original game with the Multi-instance Sync tool that ease the process of rerolling.

 

 

Octopath Traveler Beginner's Guide for Choosing the Story

At the beginning of the game, after the tutorial for the combat, the players have to choose one path out of three to proceed through the game, and the three paths are as follows. 

• Fame
• Wealth 
• Power

 

We will explain all the paths mentioned above to get a good idea about them. 

 

Fame

In the story of Fame, players have to solve an issue regarding Auguste, who lives in the grassy meadows of flatlands. 

 

Wealth

When someone chooses the story of Wealth, that player has to go to the Woodlands to battle with a witch who has caused the darkness to spread in a particular city.

 

Power

The path of Power will lead the players into the Frostlands to chase away a group of nasty gangsters. 

 

When you choose a path to begin the game, do not worry about what will happen on other paths because after trying one course, you can always try another.

 

Conclusion

Since we have already shared the best guidance to have successful gameplay, now it's in your hands to be decisive and play the game with LDPlayer while choosing the path you prefer with the higher-tier characters in the team.
