How to Unlock Troubadour

Troubadour is the default class of Miyabi, a hero in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. To unlock this class and equip it to your main characters, you must first complete their Hero Quest: Side Story: Mio.

Complete Happiness 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 Happiness.

Best Troubadour Characters

Recommended Characters
Eunie	Mio

Due to her remarkably high Healing stat, Eunie makes a great Troubadour character despite her very low Class Rating. Mio is the better option earlier on, not only for her high Class Rating, but also because her high Agility stat can keep her out of harms way.

Best Troubadour Arts

Recommended Combat Arts

Art	Attack Type	AoE	Base Effect
Autumn Rain	Buff	AOE around User	None
Way Home	Ether Attack	One Target	None
Ring o' Roses	Set Field	AOE around User	Field range of effect - small

Autumn Rain and Ring o' Roses are the best supporting Arts for the class since they grant incredibly helpful buffs to your teammates. Way Home is kept in the Arts palette as your one offensive Art, which also causes Burst.

Recommended Master Arts

Rank 1 and 10 Master Arts

Art	Base Effect	Class Rank
Solid Stance	Def. Up / Atk. Down	Heavy Guard Rank 10
Multi Blast	Area heal on hit	War Medic Rank 1
Advanced Cooldown	Field / Def. up	War Medic Rank 10

Multi Blast and Advanced Cooldown are great Master Arts for Healers since they grant useful buffs or heal ally HP. Solid Stance also comes in handy if you need to increase your defenses since you're attacking power matters little as a Support character.

Rank 20 Master Arts

Art	Base Effect	Class Rank
Cry of Faith	2 random buffs (party)	Signifer Rank 20

Though it is best to keep the default Talent Art of this class since recharging ally Arts is the intended role of the class, if you would rather focus on granting buffs to your allies, Cry of Faith is also a decent alternative Talent Art.

Best Master Skills for Troubadour Builds

Rank 5 Master Skills

Skill	Effect	Class Rank
Ninja Healer	Reduces aggro generated from healing Arts by 30%.	Medic Gunner Rank 5
Strengthening Gambit	Extends duration of buff effects issued by 30%.	Strategos Rank 5
All About Support	Increases the no. of Field Arts that can be set to the Arts Palette by 1.	Signifer Rank 5

Strengthening Gamit is essential to increase the duration of the buff effects granted by the user. All About Support is only necessary if you plan on equipping more than one Field Art, which is recommended for the class.

Rank 15 Master Skills

Skill	Effect	Class Rank
Eternal Formation	Increases field effect duration by 30%.	Medic Gunner Rank 15
Abundant Oceans	Reduces damage to allies by 10%, increases Healing by 10%. (The effect does not stack.)	Lifesage Rank 15

Once you have access to some Rank 15 Master Skills, these two skills can replace some of those in the list above. However, since Abundant Oceans is only available in the Post Game, it is less recommended than the other skills.

Best Accessories for Troubadour Builds

Boosted HP Healed from Healing Arts	Reduced Aggro from Auto Attacks	Extended Burst Duration
Affection Necklace	Silver Necklace	Star Anklets

Accessories used by Healers to increase the amount of HP recovered or to reduce aggro are best for Troubadour builds. The Burst reaction is another important effect that one of their Arts have, and extending its duration will can come in handy in many battles.

List of Accessories

Best Gems for Troubadour Builds

Boosted Buff Power	Extended Buff Duration	Boosted Revival Speed and Healing
Swelling Blessing	Refined Blessing	Lifesaving Expertise

Since most of the Arts used by the Troubadour class grant helpful buffs to allies, Swelling Blessing and Refined Blessing are the best gems to use. Gems that come in handy when reviving allies are also recommended since incapacitated allies can activate your skills.
