Fortune's Weave

Cai's Main Eight: October 29 Screenshot Checkpoint

My screenshot-confirmed Chapter 10 core eight, current levels and stats, equipment, mastered or equipped abilities, spells, builds and final preparation priorities. Earlier observations are preserved separately.

8 min readSpoilers: mechanics

My short answer

With fewer than roughly 20 turns left before Cai's semifinal, my preferred eight are Cai 41, Alexandra 36, Tialla 36, Peter 32, Guzran 32, Noctula 31, Sofia 31 and Jasmine 30. Repair Guzran's 10/20 sword and Peter's 14/20 bow, use Tialla's learned Lend Strength+ and Lend Defense+, finish Sofia's last 8 Priest mastery points when convenient, and don't re-grind Ultand.

Where I am
After the Lechner escape encounter I reached my first approximately 120-turn free-time window, and arena training has now unlocked. My Leda team is already roughly level 9-14, with Leda about 14 and Mu about 10-11 (all approximate). Leda already has Bow C or better, Mini Bow, Longbow and Chosen Sword. Mu earned Gauntlets C and Swords D in the Lechner battle before the arena was even available; she has Qiankun Circles obtained via Cai's carriage shortcut. Buccar has Da Mina Axe. The blacksmith is not unlocked yet, so weapon maintenance is my near-term concern. Guzran retained Pale Raven Support level 3 across the Cai and Leda stories.
Next
Use the current free-time window for intentional weapon/class development, weekly activities, Support and repair planning rather than unnecessary inn auto-leveling. Preserve valuable Combat Art durability until the blacksmith opens. Check the exact chapter/deadline and roster before assigning turns.

Archived screenshot baseline (October 29), not the active chapter: I have now reached Cai Chapter 12, turn 1. The precise numbers on this page are the last confirmed screenshot values and may have changed through Chapter 11.

Where the controller was on October 29

These values were copied from the in-game Unit List, Combat Stats, Basic Stats and each character's individual pages provided together. Exact levels are recorded, not predicted. Combat numbers represent the currently equipped class, weapon, mount and abilities. Changes to those are not necessarily permanent stat growth.

What my individual character screens confirm

Cai — already the decisive attacker

Lv41, HP51, 52 Attack, 33 AS, 7 Mov. Star Spear +1 equipped (25/25); Da Mina Spear +1 (25/25), Elixir and Velheit in inventory. Ornius Meganius, mounted ability Paired Bulk+.

Personal: Brio. Equipped abilities: Combat Basics, Spearfire, Offense Basics, Flamekeeper and Vanguard. Combat arts: Tempest Spear, Raging Tempest, Defending Spear. Heal is learned (10 uses).

Development decision: He is not being intentionally power-levelled. His Lv41 comes from necessary fighting; I prefer giving discretionary finishing blows to Alexandra or developing units. Preserve mounted movement and Attack Speed. I do not need to change him to Dreadnought merely to have an advanced-class name.

Alexandra — flying over obstacles is her signature advantage

Lv36, HP38, 36 Attack, 32 AS, 8 Mov. Da Mina Spear +1 equipped (25/25), Javelin (20/20) and Vulnerary (2/3). Pegasus Bucephalus, mounted ability Paired Streak+.

Personal: Silver Maiden. Equipped: Soar+, Spears Lv. 5, Vanguard, Flitting Flier, Dex Effect. Combat arts: Gale Spear, Flowing Spear, Brilliant Strike.

Development decision: Improve her effective damage with equipment and class comparisons, but preserve the flying movement I actually enjoy. Cai's 52 Attack vs her 36 does not prove 16 points of missing permanent Strength; weapon, class and ability modifiers differ.

Tialla — confirmed Ovate and active defensive buffer

Lv36, HP38, 32 Magic Attack, range 1–3 with equipped Mire B (10/10). Class Ovate, 88 class points remaining to master. Personal: Tactician's Wit. Class: Black-Magic Seeker, Magic Hit +5. Equipped: Combat Basics, Black Magic Lv.4, Magic Basics, White Magic Lv.3 and Read the Winds.

Learned combat/support arts (confirmed on screenshot): Lend Strength+, Lend Defense+, Lend Magic. These are already learned, not theoretical future options.

Learned attack magic: Mire B (10), Fire (20), Bolganone (10), Wind (20), Cutting Gale (16), Seraphim (3). Learned healing: Heal (10), Recover (5), Physic (5).

Use: Stand behind Jasmine and Noctula, use Lend Defense+ when a dangerous counter is coming, Lend Strength+ to help a counterattacker secure a kill, and attack with long-range Mire B when not healing. Her personal ability makes targeted ally-support arts easier to use without standing beside the recipient.

Peter — repair the excellent bow before it runs out

Lv32, HP40, 33 Attack, 145 Hit, 26 Crit. Tempest Bow +1 14/20 equipped; Archer's Ring and Vulnerary 2/3 carried.

Personal: Steady Aim. Class: Combat Arts +1, Bow Hit +5. Equipped: Combat Basics, Bows Lv.4, Steady Shot+, Hunting Basics, Correct for Drift. Combat arts: Curved Shot, Vital Shot, Encloser and Leaden Draw.

Use: Accurate ranged pressure and control; monitor durability when using Combat Arts. Repair Tempest Bow +1 now. Evaluate Sniper when certification actually becomes worthwhile.

Guzran — a strong sword attacker who needs protection from magic

Lv32, HP48, 37 Attack, 27 AS, 27 Crit, 37 Avoid; Resistance only 4. Cleansing Blade +1 10/20, no backup shown in this particular inventory screenshot.

Personal: Hot-Headed. Class: Combat Arts +1, Sword Crit +3. Equipped: Close Quarters+, Swords Lv.5, Attack Basics, Distraction, Top Form. Combat arts: Wrath Strike, Grounder, Blaze Blow, Twin Blades.

Use: Fast eliminations on vulnerable physical targets; don't leave him exposed to powerful magic. Repair Cleansing Blade +1 and consider a backup sword from the convoy. Continue Myrmidon → Shido as an option, not an assumed promotion.

Noctula — committed Pugilist, not a reserve anymore

Lv31, HP48, 33 Attack, 24 AS, 22 Protection, range 1–2. Qiankun Circles 20/20 equipped; Vulnerary 3/3.

Personal: Warrior's Clarity. Class: Combat Arts +1, Brawl Avo +3. Equipped: Fists Lv.3, Distraction, Narrow Defense, Rein, Attack Basics. Combat arts: Mighty Fist, Battle Rush, Fading Blow.

Use: Give her safe fights and decisive kills. She is durable against physical threats but Resilience 7 makes her vulnerable to enemy magic. Prioritize her growth and useful Pugilist class mastery over further training Ultand, whom I no longer intend to field regularly.

Sofia — just eight Priest mastery points left

Lv31, HP32, Magic24, 24 Resilience, only 9 Protection. Nosferatu 16/16 equipped, Concoction 2/2 held.

Personal: Healing Knowledge. Class: White-Magic Seeker, Magic Heal +5. Equipped: Distant Healing, White Magic Lv.3, Black Magic Lv.2, Poison Resist.

Learned spells: Nosferatu (16), Fire (10), Blizzard (7), Heal (20), Physic (10). Arts: Draw Back, Lend Magic. Her class page specifically says Points to Master: 8 for Priest.

Use: Protect her from physical engagements and prioritize safely finishing that nearly complete class mastery. Continue toward Bishop when the actual exam requirements are met. Between her range and healing boosts, Sofia is the main sustain unit for Noctula and Jasmine.

Jasmine — actual gear, no invented counter damage

Lv30, HP42, Strength19, Speed8, Dexterity24, Defense29, Res13, Attack28, Attack Speed 0 and 4 Movement. Short Axe 25/25 equipped. Her inventory actually shows Iron Axe +1 (25/25), Vulnerary 3/3, Hexlock Shield and Elixir.

Personal: Expert Counter. Class: Combat Arts +1 and Strike-Last Def +3. Equipped: Raging Counter, Axes Lv.3, Pursuit Defense, Armored Combat and Defense Formation. Combat arts: Spike, Discerning Blow, Guard Spike and Protective Storm.

Important equipment distinction: I reported buying a Da Mina Axe +1 earlier, but it is not in the inventory slots visible in this particular screenshot. It may be in the convoy or a different unit's inventory. Do not claim it is equipped. Compare its combat forecast if it can be found.

Important ability distinction: I have Raging Counter equipped already and Defense Formation equipped already. Great Counter does not appear in the equipped slots; verify the learned-ability menu before claiming she has mastered or equipped it. Keep her as a rear-guard counterattacker with access to Sofia and Tialla's confirmed support arts. A future Dreadnought is an option at a suitable certification point, not a current fact.

My next battle formation

             APPROACHING ENEMIES
                    ↓
  [ CAI ]                    [ ALEXANDRA ]
  fast mobile strike force / flying flank

       [ GUZRAN ]       [ NOCTULA ]
       sword cleanup    physical brawler
                            ↑ heal / buffs
            [ JASMINE ]
            stops flankers, protects backline

   [ PETER ]      [ TIALLA ]      [ SOFIA ]
    range           damage/buffs     heal/Physic

This is a concept, not exact deployment squares or an assertion that enemies will always attack Jasmine. Protect Guzran and Noctula from their especially weak magical Resistance. If the actual map splits the group, distribute healing access accordingly.

Fewer than 20 turns: the actual checklist

  1. Inspect remaining Calendar and Quest Log entries before travelling. Bertrand and Talimun are recorded complete; Anna requires a final check rather than an assumed completion.
  2. Repair Guzran's Cleansing Blade +1 (10/20) and Peter's Tempest Bow +1 (14/20). Carry a fallback weapon if one is available.
  3. Check Jasmine's convoy for the reportedly purchased Da Mina Axe +1; swap it against Short Axe and Iron Axe +1 in the real combat forecast. Maintain a 1–2 range option.
  4. Try to finish Sofia's 8 remaining Priest mastery points with safe actions if a short training fight is convenient. This is not a reason to miss the semifinal.
  5. Equip known buffs: Tialla's Lend Strength+ and Lend Defense+ can protect Noctula or increase Jasmine's enemy-phase damage. Keep healing spells available.
  6. Preserve mobility: Cai's Meganius and Alexandra's Bucephalus are valuable; don't change mounts/classes on speculation this late.
  7. Confirm the deployment cap and threats with Foresight. My eight above are preferences, not a guarantee that the scenario permits all of them.

No predictions: Future level rows only appear when a screenshot or explicit new report confirms them. This guide preserves the October 29 state even if I later replay Chapter 10.
