[Octra 0]Reime & Aira's strongest hidden character complete master guide! Thorough explanation from performance analysis to acquisition route and experience point revolution[Octopath Travelers 0 Strategy]

Octopath Travelers 0, commonly known as Octopath 0, is an epic adventure RPG that takes place on the vast continent of Orustella. In this game, a variety of characters appear, each using their own jobs and abilities in battle. Of particular note are Reime and Aira, who appear as hidden characters. These characters are not just additional members, but are considered indispensable by many players, as they dramatically improve combat efficiency and revolutionize the speed of development.

Reime is an undefeated swordsman from the east, and is a physical attacker who uses his multi-hit attacks and high BP efficiency to instantly kill single bosses. On the other hand, Isla has the job of a scholar cat and has overwhelming overall firepower using non-attribute magic. By adding both of them to your team, the damage you receive after a break will increase dramatically, making it possible to conclude even long battles in a short amount of time. Furthermore, if you use Rayme's resident effect, the experience points you gain in the monster arena will roughly double, and the pain of leveling up will be wiped out. This guide provides content that anyone from beginners to experts can use immediately.

1. Thorough analysis of Reime's performance: The ultimate multi-stage attack and the secret of BP recovery

Reime is a female character with the swordsman job, and is a swordsman who came to Orustella from a country far to the east in search of a strong man. According to his official profile, although he was born in poverty, he managed to rise to the top with just his sword arm, and places absolute value on strength. Shizuka Ishigami is in charge of the CV, and her dignified voice heats up the battlefield.

Her biggest strengths are her abundance of multi-hit attacks and her support ability, “Sometimes it doesn't consume BP.'' This ability has a 50% chance of collecting BP without consuming it when using the skill, making it easier to repeatedly boost. For example, the main skill “Sword of the Storm Moon” (SP36 consumption) deals damage to a single enemy 3 to 5 times with the sword and effectively reduces shield points. If you master it, it will become even more powerful, and you can deal more than 9999 damage by folding it after the break.

Other battle abilities are also excellent. “Double Slash” (SP8, sword twice) and “Double Thrust” (SP8, spear twice) are low cost and ideal for cutting down shields. “Shadow Master” (SP8, Dark 2 times) can be used as an attribute attack to deal with weak points. “Gaeshi no Tachi” (SP14) is reliable in terms of defense as it counterattacks with the sword when receiving physical attacks and cuts down the shield while ignoring weak points. “Mushin Hoko” (SP18) sacrifices all of your buffs to deal spear damage, and can spit out firepower when you have too many buffs. “Hatata” (SP9) applies physical defense down for 2 turns when you select a weapon and strengthens continuous damage.

The special move “Higan Renba” deals damage with the sword 6 times in a row and reaches its maximum power at Lv3. If you hit this with a boost during a break, you can wipe out a single boss. Support abilities include “Folding” (increases power in multiple steps during break), “Physical attack +50 increase”, and “Attack refinement” (increases special gauge by hitting physical weak points), which is a lineup specialized for attackers. The overall rating is S+, and it is top class in terms of single firepower.

Its weaknesses are axes, fans, and lightning, so keep this in mind when forming your party. When placing residents, the monster arena described below is the best choice, and will greatly increase the efficiency of experience points. If you raise Reime, the boss battles after the middle stage will be much easier.

2. Steps to obtain Rayme: Completely conquer the harsh underground arena

Reime joins after section 3, and requires clearing chapter 3 of “The Bestower of Wealth.” If you talk to the NPC “DeVecchio” at the bottom left of Victor Hollow Old Town in the Woodland region, the substory “Encounter with Rayme” will occur. At the recommended level 60, proceed through the underground arena route.

The steps are as follows: First, win a series of battles in the arena. It's about as tough as 23 consecutive battles, but it's possible to clear it as long as you're prepared. In the final battle, you will face off against Reime, and after winning, select whether you want to join him or not. As a battle countermeasure, prepare characters that can attack Reime's weaknesses (axe, fan, lightning). Recommended ones are Ophelia (fan counterattack), Macy (axe counterattack), Primrose (rest supply), Espel (miasma poison), and the protagonist (rear shooting axe).

Reime has a “counterattack against weak points”, so she will be counterattacked by weak point attacks, but will not respond to “counterattack stance” or “rear fire”. Place “Parry” in the vanguard for physical countermeasures, and place high-defense characters for attribute countermeasures. Shield cutting is made more efficient by repeatedly firing backwards. Weapon changes can be adjusted from “Fight” by changing the rear guard. As a reward for winning, you will receive “Ultimate Permanent Physical Up” with the maximum relationship value, and your physical attack and defense will permanently increase.

This route can be done in parallel with the story progression and can shorten the clearing time. Since you can use it immediately after joining, we recommend getting it as soon as possible.

3. Digging deeper into Aira's performance: Non-attribute magic firepower king and cat-like utility

Isla is a male cat with the scholar cat job, and is a special attacker who has mastered non-attribute magic. It deals stable damage regardless of the enemy's weak points, and if combined with “Extreme Damage Limit Breaking”, it will give over 9999 in one boost. The support ability “Sage's Wisdom'' allows attribute attacks to be critical, and “Single Magic'' converts all magic into a single highly powerful one.

Battle abilities are generalized. “Meteor Magic” (SP24, large non-elemental damage overall) and “Comet Magic” (SP36, power increases when activated in the rear) are the mainstays. “Reciprocating Slap” (SP21, all 2 times) and “Large Reciprocating Slap” (SP43, all 3 times) will cover the entire physics. “Cat's Dodge” (SP10, speed up + 1 physical evasion) and “Cat's Support” (SP12, entire front/rear guard attack/evasion up 2T) are durability supports. “Culture” (SP0, large HP/SP recovery) is a free recovery and is strong in long-term battles. The special move “Cat Great Magic Altenya” consumes all SP to deal non-elemental damage, and has super firepower proportional to the amount consumed. When it's a single boss, it's a one-hit kill when it's single.

Support increases firepower with “maximum SP +50 up'' and “attribute attack +50 up''. With an overall S+ rating, it is versatile from mopping up small fry to bosses. It is attractive for its cat-like cuteness and practicality.

4. Complete Guide to Acquiring Isla: All 5 Letter Fragments Locations and Sage's Island Release

To join Aira, it is necessary to collect 5 letter fragments, which will become a “secret invitation” and unlock the Island of the Sages in the Open Sea. The ship is obtained from the sub-“Queen Orsa''. There are also things that require town level 6 (talking about animals at the torch stand, building a monster arena).

Total 5 photos location:

1. This is a bookshelf (library area) inside the Theatpolis building.
2. It's sparkling inside the Tamamizu Cave (Tasamizu Cave).
3. This is the noble cat in front of the Atlasdam bar in Flatland (begging after the animal talk).
4. This is the sparkle behind after defeating the man-eating flower in the back alley of Woodland Herminia mansion (after sub-capturing the monster arena).
5. “The Bestower of Wealth'' Chapter 3 “Gift's Sand Palace – Lower Floor'' Sparkle at the southeast staircase (Kifu's left sphere disguise area).

After reaching Sage's Island, the door will be opened with an invitation, and an event will occur in the Book Room. Join by clicking “Do you want to join?” You can get one by selecting your inventory at first, but you can collect them again later. Since the locations are scattered, it is recommended to explore the entire map.

5. The true value of Rayme resident effect: Training revolution with double experience points in the monster arena

Reime's resident effect is activated when placed in a monster arena, and experience points increase by 1.8 to 2 times. You will get 1300 → over 5000 for Gigantias class, almost double the normal amount for high level. After building the town at level 6, place Rayme and go around the best spots such as West Valore Forest Road.

The mechanism is to strengthen the arena monsters, and the number of targets will increase after the capture sub is completed. You can get 41,000 EXP in less than 1 minute per battle, which can be further doubled with food + brooch. The money plan is also excellent at 120,000/game. Combined with Aira, it instantly kills small fish and maximizes efficiency.

6. Practical party formation and utilization techniques: instant boss kill & lap optimization

Recommended formation: Reime (main attacker), Aira (overall/sub firepower), Primrose (recovery/dance), Ophelia (revival/fan). Reime Arashigetsu → Isla Altegna will end the break immediately. The experience value lap is Reime placement arena + Catlin hunting.

Forbidden weapons and expert NPC battles are also easy wins. Permanent buffs will be unlocked by increasing the relationship value.

7. Reime & Aira training tips: Equipment/select ability optimization

Reime: Sword/spear reinforcement, physical attack equipment. Select “Physical Attack +50”. Aira: Book/SP equipment, “Attribute attack +50”. Strengthens Altegna with maximum SP boost. EXP is over 210% with training center + statue.
