Is Delusion Worth It?

Skill Ranking S Rank Icon

Delusion is a must-have skill!

Upgrading Delusion as soon as possible will generally make quests much easier, as Axii will become more effective in dialogues. This will allow you to complete sections of quests both without having to fight or spend coin, and you will still gain experience from it.

In addition, upgrading this skill makes Axii more useful and powerful in battle, giving you two big reasons to upgrade the spell as early as possible.

Conclusion

This is one of the skills that you need to upgrade as early as possible if you want to gain as much XP in the game. If you have extra points and do not know where to invest them, this is a solid option.
