Recommended Weapon Upgrades

Guardian Shield

Upgrading Erador's weapon to its second rank will grant him access to his Exclusive Weapon Ability upgrades. As you will be mostly using Erador to redirect enemy aggro to him, you can activate Follow-up Damage Up.

During battles, attack lured enemies next to Erador with your other units and take advantage of the follow-up attack damage boost.

Lion's Shield

Once you unlock Erador's final weapon rank, you can obtain Provoke TP -1. This will save you TP which you can use for other abilities.
