1. Reime’s profile and the appeal of Octora 0
Reime is a female swordsman who appears as an additional traveler in Octora 0. According to his official profile, he is introduced as, “A swordsman from a country far to the east.He boasts of being undefeated in the east, and visited Orustela in search of a strong man.He rose from poverty with only his sword skills, so he places absolute value on strength.'' The voice actor is Shizuka Ishigami, whose cool and dignified voice enlivens the battles.
The key to Octora 0's combat system is multi-hit attacks that utilize breaks, and Reime provides the optimal solution in this regard. 3 to 5 hits with the sword and 6 consecutive blows of the special move will simultaneously reduce the shield and damage, and the support ability “Folding” will further increase the firepower during the break. In addition, by “occasionally not consuming BP” (50% probability), full boosts can be fired repeatedly, drastically reducing the burden of SP management. Coupled with the +50% increase in physical attack power and the increase in the special gauge when hitting a weak point, the single firepower is top class in the game.
In actual battle reports from players, it has been confirmed that in combination with Primrose's Four Warrior Techniques, it can deal over 100,000 damage, and its true value will be demonstrated in the final stages of the “Those Who Master Everything” series and high-difficulty side quests. Furthermore, he possesses the spear ability and has high ability to respond to attributes, making him flexible even though he is a pure physical attacker. The return on training investment after joining is outstanding, and there are hidden bonuses that improve JP earning efficiency. In other words, Reime is not only strong, but also dramatically improves the battle turnover rate of the entire party.
| HP | High (durable swordsman) |
| physical attack power | best class |
| physical defense power | Nakagami |
| magic defense power | Medium |
| speed | Standard to high |
| weapon aptitude | Sword/Spear (best) |
As shown in this table, Reime has the ideal balance as a front-line attacker. The acquisition route will be detailed in the next chapter, but it is essential to thoroughly clear the “Giver of Wealth” route in advance.
2. Prerequisite for obtaining Rayme: Clear all chapters of “The Bestower of Wealth”
The first step to joining Reime is to clear all chapters of “The Bestower of Wealth.” This main story route is a revival story about Herminia, the Witch of Greed, and is essential progression from the beginning to the middle. Specifically, you must complete the chapters from the beginning of wealth to chapter 3 of wealth.
Prologue to Wealth: The Tragedy of Valore and Initial Preparations
Depart Wishvale and head to Valore. Witness the contamination of the town by Herminia's evil powder. Here you will meet the merchant Ludo and learn the basics of town building. Upgrade your training center to enhance your ability acquisition. The boss battle against “Vigilante Captain Freed” is a tutorial at the beginning, so please master the basic break.
Wealth Chapter 1: Powder purification and gathering friends
Talk to residents and gather information. After joining Stier, you will defeat the first boss as a church request. We recommend recruiting Alexia and using her lightning attributes to gain an advantage over enemies. Please take advantage of the level-up spot “Nishi Valore Morimichi”.
Wealth Chapter 2: Shadow of Herminia and mid-boss battles
Head to Old Town Victor Hollow. There is a foreshadowing of the underground arena. Prioritize the destruction of surrounding enemies. We recommend that you obtain the physical avoidance ability “Parrying Secret” in advance.
Wealth Chapter 3: Final battle and clear reward
In the battle against Herminia, the darkness weakness is often used. Recommended level is 40 to 50. Once cleared, the conditions for “increasing the influence of power” and the occurrence of Reime-related sub-quests will be released.
It takes approximately 10 to 15 hours to complete this route. At the same time, please try to improve efficiency by progressing with “Those Who Light the Torch.” It is ideal to reach level 50 immediately after clearing the game.
3. Proceed to the underground arena from the occurrence of the subquest “Encounter with Reime”
Immediately after clearing Wealth Chapter 3, talk to the client “DeVecchio” in Victor Hollow Old Town in the Woodland region. The quest will now officially occur. The reward is joining Rayme and increasing power and influence.
Occurrence location and initial progress
You will be guided to the underground arena from the NPC conversation in the lower left building of the old town. 23 or more consecutive battles in the arena are required. If you win all the matches, the battle against Reime will be unlocked.
Tips for winning consecutive battles
In the fight against small fry, adjust the speed and use the BP passer (recommended by Dancer) to repeatedly hit the physical attacker. The mid-boss has a lot of shields, so equip it with a multi-hit weapon. Since it is not possible to interrupt consecutive battles, please have a large amount of SP recovery accessory “Grape Juice''. After 23 consecutive battles, the level will stabilize around 55. If you fail, please return to Wish Veil and earn JP.
4. A thorough guide to the added boss battle “Reime”: Break through the ultra-high difficulty level recommended for Lv60
The biggest hurdle is the battle to join Reime. HP is approximately 300,000, and a counterattack buff that takes away SP & BP when attacking a weak point is always activated. It uses many dark attribute attacks, so dark resistance accessories are required.
Weaknesses and behavior patterns
- Early stage: Double slash/Shadow Master (dark 2 times) → parry secret Use physical nullification and half SP support in a 4-person formation.
- Mid-game: Arashigetsu sword (sword 3-5 times) → Spear/axe weak point break priority, Primrose four warriors provide firepower support.
- Late stage: Higan Renblade preparation → full recovery, BP management to avoid full break.
Recommended party (Lv60)
- Vanguard: Protagonist (merchant/BP absorption secret) + Alexia (multi-stage lightning)
- Middle Guard: Tresa (BP+1) + Primrose (Four Warriors)
- Rear guard: Fen (HPSP recovery secret)
The strategy is to chip away at areas other than weak points, nullify counterattacks by parrying, and immediately collapse after a break. The required turns are 15 to 20. Reime will automatically join if you win.
