Mio Best Arts

Best Early Game Arts

Name	Area of Effect	Recharge Gauge	Effect
Butterfly Blade	One Target	3 Auto Attacks	Boosts aggro generated when using Arts by 50%
Air Fang	One Target	4 Auto Attacks	Boosts damage dealt when attacking enemies targeting you by 50%
Wide Slash	One Target	8 Auto Attacks	While Arts is active, evades enemy attacks at the cost of a low Critical Rate.

Equip these Arts initially to make Mio a formidable opponent. Butterfly Blade and Air Fang, in particular, are useful for inflicting damage while gaining aggro from enemies. Wide Slash, when time properly, will allow you to dodge enemy attacks while dealing damage. Speed Demon can be used as well.

Mio Best Accessories

Early Game Accessories

Increased Speed	Increased Damage when Targeted
Gear Support	Beastfang Necklace

We recommend equipping items that increase Mio's while she is using the Zephyr class, as this will increase her chances of evading enemy attacks. Since her role is a Defender, any items that increase aggro from enemies should also be equipped when possible.

Prioritize Skill and Status-Related Abilities

We recommended unlocking any skill or status-related abilities in Mio's Soul Tree. Abilities that allow you to evade enemy attacks while dealing counter damage will be particularly useful when dealing with multiple enemies.
