== Strengths  ==

'''
 * An almighty-type magic attacker with two extremely powerful variants '''

Trumpeter's "Apocalypse" allows it to inflict Mute while dealing damage to all enemy units.

It also possesses the skill called "Soul Drain". This allows it to heal itself all while dealing massive damage to a single enemy unit.

On top of having 2 powerful skill effects, there are no opponents that can mitigate this since it's an almighty magic.

'''
 * Deal huge damage with Concentrate '''

Trumpeter's "Concentrate" raises the next magic attack's damage 2.25 times.

In wave battles, you can deal massive damage to the main boss by casting concentrate before you enter the boss fight.

Using Trumpeter's "Dot Sight" makes it possible to further raise your damage output and take down the boss extremely easier.

'''
 * Excellent stats and resistances '''

On top of being able to nullify two elements, Trumpeter has no weak points. Since there's no need to dedicate a skill slot for skills to cover any weak points, you can freely transfer offensive, supporting or healing skills to it.

And with good stats, everything except for Trumpeter's strength is top-rank.

== Recommended: Aragami, Psychic, Elementalist  ==

Trumpeter's recommended Archetype is Elementalist. Trumpeter can learn "Judgement" as an Elementalist. This skill allows it to inflict an almighty-type magic damage while increasing the party's ATK by 20% for 3 turns. You can deal damage regardless of the enemy's resistance since it's an almighty-type.

Another recommended Archetype is Psychic. Trumpeter can learn "Auto-Rakuga" as a Psychic. This skill allows it to raise all allies' defense by 20%. Raising defenses decreases the damage you take and makes it easire to manage your party's HP.

We also recommend the Elementalist Archetype Trumpeter can learn "Resist Phys" as an Elementalist. Mitigating damage from physical attacks increases your toughness.

== Recommended Branding Set Effects and Options  ==

Set effects  	    =>   Mag ATK +15%

Option  	    =>   Phys DEF %, Mag ATK %

Have Branding set to Spell Brand that will increase his Mag ATK. Launching a magic attack after "Concentrate" makes it easy to take down enemies. Since Trumpeter can learn "Resist Phys" as an Elementalist, raising its magic defenses makes Trumpeter more balanced.

In D2 Battles, setting the brand to Divine Brands makes it easier for you to roam around since it allows you to execute a magic attack right after "Concentrate".
