How to Unlock Troubadour

Recruit Miyabi by Completing Their Hero Quest

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
EunieEunie MioMio

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 RainAutumn Rain Buff AOE around User None
Way HomeWay Home Ether Attack One Target None
Ring oRing 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 StanceSolid Stance Def. Up / Atk. Down
Rank 10
Multi BlastMulti Blast Area heal on hit
Rank 1
Advanced CooldownAdvanced Cooldown Field / Def. up
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 FaithCry of Faith 2 random buffs (party)
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.

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.

Affection NecklaceAffection Necklace Silver NecklaceSilver Necklace Star AnkletsStar 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.
