This might sound unusual, after all you’ll surely want to give her a staff of some sort, however having this 50% evasion in your back pocket for difficult boss battles is a tremendous advantage. Whilst the former is not necessarily essential, since it basically just gives her a chance to charm enemies, the latter will provide her with a massive amount of evasion when unarmed. To this end, you’ll want to grab yourself 16 points in Sex Appeal and 52 points in Fisticuffs. These are all great benefits, but you absolutely must be cognizant of her defensive capabilities, after all a dead mage isn’t exactly going to be of much use to you. Her MP pool will be greatly increased, will restore itself each round and hell, she’ll even get a free emergency heal out of it. See, investing 84 points into the Staff weapon will grant her everything that she needs to keep throwing out damage. We can totally understand players going for this build, and to be honest we’d probably encourage you to do so, after all it’s very satisfying to see her flinging about flashy explosions and ripping showers of ice, but we want to draw your attention to two additions that will make your life a great deal easier. Likely the most logical, and indeed probably the most frequented of builds for Jessica is that of the full mage build, which opts for spell damage ahead of everything else. Now, don’t expect huge amounts of health restoration or physical damage from this build, but do expect it to allow Jessica to be useful in more than just offensive situations.Broadening her horizons further, investing only 23 points into Whips will unlock Twin Dragon Lash, which is a powerful double physical attack.Similarly, 57 points in Staff will unlock Caduceus, which is a single target heal that can be used for free.Investing 100 points into Sex Appeal will allow Jessica to access a group heal, which she would otherwise have no access to, outside of using items or equipment in battle.Finally, the 57 points invested into the Staff will, along with its other benefits, unlock the Caduceus skill, which is essentially a free single target heal! All of this combines to make Jessica support the team quite effectively… Well, in between rounds of blasting out her most powerful spell, that is. Again, she isn’t going to break any records in this regard, but having the option available for particularly resistant foes is a nice bonus. Adding to this is the 23 points in Whips, which grants Jessica the fantastic Twin Dragon Lash. By investing all the way into Sex Appeal, you will be able to unlock a useful party heal, and whilst it’s not going to get close to beating the Hero for sheer health restoration, it can be useful when high incoming damage is expected. ![]() There are two main benefits that can be found here, these being forms of healing and some quite reasonable physical damage. With that in your back pocket, perhaps you would like her to contribute more than just big flashy numbers? We’re not about to tell you that she’ll become a master of support and assist you through any situation, but digging a little deeper into her toolkit will reveal some powerful skills to help you on your way. Thanks to her kit of automatically learned spells, Jessica is always going to have the ability to deal tremendous amounts of spell damage, no matter the skill point allocation. ![]()
