Ghondor Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

Ghondor is a formidable Brawler character with hard-hitting but also lightning-quick attacks. Her Auto-Attacks are some of the quickest of any Hero in the game, and since her class is classified as Agnus, this also means that her Arts recharge faster.

Weaknesses

As a short-ranged Attacker, Ghondor is almost always on the front lines of battle. Though her defensive stats are decent, she may still easily go down if not properly healed or defended by allies.

Additionally, the power of her Talent Art depends on the amount of charge each of her other Arts have. This includes Master Arts, but since she is a hero, she cannot equip Master Arts. This limits the power of her Talent Art significantly.

Ghondor Ascension Quest Unlock Conditions

Knowing Your Family

After recruiting Ghondor, they and their class will be capped at Rank 10. To break the class limit and rank them up to Rank 20, you must first complete their Ascension Quest: Knowing Your Family.
