Best Arts for Hope

Arts (Left)
Arts (Right)

Hope's kit is very support-oriented similar to Irina but instead of Smooth Recovery, she has Astral Protection, which boosts resistance to all attributes while also healing and this Art as such is crucial to her build.

She can pair this with her Signature Art Tacit Censure to inflict Virus on her targets, Energy Source to provide up to 2000 TP making Overdrive or TP Skills easier to access then Absorber Skin and Repair to heal and provide shielding to the party.

Her offense skills are of less priority, she can use Shooting Star, Stellar Ray and Black Butterfly with a preference towards ranged skills since she focuses on support more.

Best Skills for Hope

Rank	Skill	Effect & Class
17	TP Overdrive	Boosts TP when using Arts while in Overdrive
7	Inner Search	Boosts potential
15	Knight's Soul	Boosts maximum TP

This build focuses on improving Hope's TP Arts when in Overdrive, which will help her more in supporting her party. This is primarily facilitated by TP Overdrive and Knight's Soul.

The last slot is preferably filled by Inner Search as the rest of Hope's kit does not synergize well enough with her Arts as Hope will not go for Melee damage or usage of Psycorruptor Arts despite her class as she does not utilize this as well as Irina does.

Best Role During Combat

Replaceable Support Character

Hope suffers from being basically a harder-to-master version of Irina and her unlocking requirements as well as Irina's instant accessibility and her unique skill, Smooth Recovery not requiring TP makes her rather redundant and hard to use over the former.

Despite this however, Hope can be very useful in providing heals and boosts to the party if you still should choose her, but a lack of diversity in her kit and lack of niches by lategame make her fall off as a playable character.
