Overview

Tobias is the flagship of Paragons of Piety and turns conventional Blade perceptions on their heads. Forsaking the standard Blade Co-Ability, Tobias plays heavily into his supportive role, packing two Buff Time passives and two ways to passively charge his skills. Although most of his kit is about buffing allies, Tobias himself isn’t a complete wet noodle. Minor Poison from Revalation’s Purge synergizes with an innate Poisoned Punisher, granting a small measure of personal DPS. For these reasons, Tobias gives Noelle a run for her money and completely revamps the High Mercury meta.

Strengths

Support with Teeth 

Eternal Grace is both more potent and longer lasting than Noelle’s Best Regards. Furthermore, it charges faster than usual while under Sacred Blade’s influence, allowing Eternal Grace to overlap and stack with itself. As a kicker, Tobias himself provides modest DPS through Poison-enhanced basic attacks.  

Unique Co-ability 

Tobias is the first adventurer to have Buff Time as a Co-ability, enhancing his support capabilities without boxing out other Blade users from team comps. 

Weaknesses

Only Buffs Wind Adventurers 

Tobias cannot flex to other elements like Gala Cleo can and must remain with other Wind allies. 

Immobility

Sacred Blade locks Tobias down, preventing all forms of movement and removing forward/backward motions from normal basic attacks. Mistiming Revelation’s Purge to re-enable movement can lock players in dangerous situations. 

Dragon Recommendations

Ariel maximizes both Tobias’s offensive and supportive aspects. 

Freyja commits fully to support capabilities, but gives up solo DPS entirely. 

Zephyr grants the most personal damage if ignoring support outright.

Weapon Recommendations

Budget Option: Tempest Blade

Skill 2

Sacred Blade
Lvl 1 Activates "Sacred Blade" for 10 seconds. During Sacred Blade, the user's standard attack patterns will change, the skill gauge for Eternal Grace will be gradually filled over time for seven seconds, and the user will be unable to move, use force strikes, or dodge. This skill will also become Revelation's Purge and be immediately readied for use. Sacred Blade will end after a set period of time, or after using Revelation's Purge. Revelation's Purge deals wind damage to multiple targets and enemies near those targets, and inflicts poison. Targets will be chosen by their proximity to the user, and if the number of enemies available to target is fewer than the skill's number of hits, this selection process will be repeated for the remaining hits. The skill gauge for this skill can be filled by attacking enemies, but it will also gradually fill automatically. Abilities that increase skill gauge fill rate will not affect this automatic increase.
