Best Archetype Build For Heismay

Best Archetype For Heismay to Equip

Archetype Explanation
Thief Thief
 The Thief Archetype is a natural choice for Heisymay, given that it is the Archetype he awakened in the game. It also specializes in acquiring rare items from enemies using its Steal Skill, as well as access to Dark Skills.
Gunner Gunner
 The Gunner Archetype specializes in maintaining Strength for its attacks even when on the back row, giving you the advantage of incurring less damage while dealing full damage. It also has access to buff skills that increase the Hit/Evasion rate of an ally.

The Thief Archetype and Gunner Archetype Lineages are recommended for Heismay to equip, given that his stat allocation prioritizes the Agility stat. Both Archetypes excel in utilizing Agility and providing buffs that increase it.
