Recruit Teach by Completing Their Hero Quest

Thaumaturge is the default class of Teach, a hero in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. To unlock this class and equip it to your main characters, you must first complete their Hero Quest: Going Beyond Power.

Complete Shadow of Enmity to Unlock Rank 20

After you unlock this class, it will have a rank cap of 10, so you are unable to upgrade its Arts and skills further than that rank. To break the rank cap and extend the limit up to Rank 20, you must first complete the quest Shadow of Enmity.

Best Thaumaturge Characters

Recommended Characters
Mio	Taion

The Thaumaturge Class is primarily a Healer Class, but many of its Arts and skills also make them decent at dealing damage in the squad. Having excellent Healing Power but also decent Attack is vital for this class, which is why Mio and Taion are recommended.

Best Thaumaturge Arts

Recommended Combat Arts

Art	Attack Type	AoE	Base Effect
Rank Splitter	Physical Attack	One Target	Heals nearby allies when Art hits, to max of 100% of Healing Power.
Spearpoint Thrust	Physical Attack	One Target	None
Leaping Current	Clear Debuffs	AOE around User	None

The best Thaumaturge Arts not only deal damage to opponents, but also apply incredibly useful buffs or debuffs. Though Divine Protection is also a great Art, if you plan on equipping Advanced Cooldown as a Master Art, it isn't as necessary.

Recommended Master Arts

Rank 5 and 10 Master Arts

Art	Base Effect	Class Rank
Shadow Eye	Aggro Halved / Atk. Up	Swordfighter Rank 10
Multi Blast	Area heal on hit	War Medic Rank 1
Advanced Cooldown	Field / Def. up	War Medic Rank 10

Though Shadow Eye is primarily an Attacker Art, it also works incredibly well with the Thaumaturge class due to its ability to halve your aggro while at the same time boosting your Attack.

Advanced Cooldown is another useful support Art, but you may not need it if you plan on using Divine Protection as a Combat Art. Multi Blast can be used for additional Healing when needed.

Rank 20 Master Arts

Art	Base Effect	Class Rank
Technical Heal	Heal party	War Medic Rank 20

It is best to equip the default Talent Art for the class since the Burst effect allows you to activate a skill that heals all allies. However, if you are looking for an alternate Talent Art, Technical Heal also heals a similar amount of HP, but it does not deal any damage or have any other effects.

Best Master Skills for Thaumaturge Builds

Rank 5 Master Skills

Skill	Effect	Class Rank
Ninja Healer	Reduces aggro generated from healing Arts by 30%.	Medic Gunner Rank 5
Healing License	Boosts amount of HP healed from using healing Arts by 20%.	War Medic Rank 5
Strengthening Gambit	Extends duration of buff effects issued by 30%.	Strategos Rank 5

Master Skills from other Healer classes work well with Thaumaturge builds since they can help make them more effective at their role. Strengthening Gambit only works well if you decide you equip your character will several buffing Arts.

Rank 15 Master Skills

Skill	Effect	Class Rank
Abundant Oceans	Reduces damage to allies by 10%, increases Healing by 10%. (The effect does not stack.)	Lifesage Rank 15

Abundant Oceans is the best Rank 15 Master Skill for the Thaumaturge class. However, the skill is only available in the Post Game, so it is best to stick with the list above on your first playthrough of the game.

Best Accessories for Thaumaturge Builds

Boosted HP Healed from Arts	Reduced Aggro from Healing Arts	Extends Duration of Burst
Immaculate Necklace	Affection Ring	Star Anklets

Healer accessories that increase the amount of HP healed or reduce the aggro generated by their Arts are best. Since the class will also deal plenty of Burst attacks due to its Talent Art and skill, a Star Anklet is also recommended.

List of Accessories

Best Gems for Thaumaturge Builds

Increased Healing	Reduced Aggro from Arts	Boosted Buff Power
Lifebearer	Disperse Bloodlust	Swelling Blessing

As Healers, Thaumaturge builds benefit from increasing their Healing Power and reducing their aggro. Since many of their Arts also grant different buffs, boosting these buff effects also work. Instead of Swelling Blessing, Refined Blessing would also work as an alternative.
