Deal AOE Physical DMG

Trailblazer's main method of attacking is to deal AoE Physical Damage. Use his skill in order to inflict Weakness Break on a group of enemies. His A6 further incentivices this by giving them a 25% DMG Boost.

Defeat or Inflict Weakness Break on Enemies

Performing a Weakness Break or defeating an enemy after unlocking their 6th Eidolon will grant the Trailblazer with up to 44% ATK boost. This is further buffed by their 4th Eidolon giving their CRIT Rate a 25% Boost.

This Talent pairs well with a chracter that boosts damage to enemies inflicted with Weakness Break such as Welt's A6 Passive.

Boost Your Ultimate After Using Skill

After getting the 44% buff from inflicting a Weakness Break on an enemy, follow up with their Ulitmate to deal a great amount of Physical damage.

The AoE version of this is further incentivized by their A6 by giving them a 25% DMG Boost.

Heal Allies With Technique

Use their Technique to heal your party by a small amount when needed.

Redirect Hits to Trailblazer

With their A4 raising their DEF by 10% and their second Eidolon giving a small heal, the Trailblazer can be used as a redirect to soak up some hits from other units which might be low on health. March 7th's Skill is an example of this.
