Tahonia: fixed Battlemaster class and final-battle duties

Tahonia joins directly late in the Promised One's story as a ready-made physical replacement. She arrives as Battlemaster and cannot change classes afterward. Focus on her existing gauntlets, swords, and melee stats. If your team lacks a trained brawler or needs a high-HP unit to hold a position, she can step in immediately without completing an early-game promotion route.

She arrives in segment 5#

She joins through the story in segment 5 of Part 3, the Promised One's story. Recruitment does not involve bond and Renown negotiations on the four protagonists' routes. This timing makes her immediate capabilities the main consideration. She has no long training window starting in Part 1, so planning dozens of catch-up levels as though she were an early recruit is not worthwhile.

After joining, she remains Battlemaster. Class-change restrictions take priority over proficiency. Higher Gauntlet ranks do not automatically unlock another class set. Her three options are therefore different uses and configurations of her current class: melee replacement, gauntlet offense, and holding a final-battle position. Her class chain begins at Battlemaster and ends at Battlemaster.

High HP comes with low Speed#

Stat	Personal growth	Meaning for her current class
HP	65%	Her clearest strength, giving room to take hits and hold positions
Strength	50%	Foundation for physical attacks
Magic	5%	Not a primary training goal for Battlemaster
Speed	20%	A clear weakness that leaves her open to follow-ups
Dexterity	40%	Helps Hit and Crit
Defense	45%	Another foundation for taking melee damage
Resistance	35%	Still check incoming spell damage separately
Luck	20%	Not the basis of her main strengths
Charm	40%	Does not change her main melee replacement role

Her total personal growth is 320. HP is among the roster’s highest, while Strength and Defense support close combat. Low Speed leaves her vulnerable to follow-ups, so even high HP must be checked against two hits. Before leaving her in front, check the enemy’s attack count and total damage.

She excels in Gauntlet, with no listed weaknesses.

Her chance-based follow-up requires gauntlet arts#

Python Technique requires combat with a gauntlet art and has a 15% chance to follow up regardless of Attack Speed. It occasionally gives her an extra hit despite low Speed, but the rate is low. Plan kills assuming it will not activate. Normal sword attacks do not satisfy this gauntlet art condition.

Battlemaster has innate Combat Arts +3, Axe Hit +7, and Brawl Hit +7, with the latter two applying to their equipped weapon types. These are current class abilities, listed separately from the five equipped ability slots and not counted twice. Extra Combat Art slots allow several options, but each combat still uses one chosen art.

For damage training, prioritize Strength, HP, Dexterity, and Defense. Strength powers physical damage, Dexterity helps Hit, and HP/Defense determine whether she can act after taking enemy attacks. With 20% Speed and little training time left, do not force her into a fast swordsman role. Magic and Charm are not offensive priorities; Resistance and Luck need not be raised just to balance all nine stats.

A ready-made brawler or final-battle blocker#

If your team lacks a brawler in Part 3, let her fill the gap in her current class. Her high Strength and HP are immediately useful; her personal gauntlet art follow-up is a bonus. Secure reliable damage in one combat first, then consider the extra upside from activation.

Another practical use is holding a reinforcement tile in the final battle. The level 58 final-battle setup equips Silver Gauntlets and carries Flyssa. The only clearly shown equipped skill is Fists Lv. 2. She is chosen for her high HP and ability to hold the position. Prepare the other items, Battalion, and skills in the supplemental build according to their separate acquisition and learning requirements.

If you do not want further training, her existing inventory supports these low-investment tasks. For an initiating build, adjust around learned fist arts, weapon Hit, and counterattack risk. Both setups use her current class.

Battlemaster cannot cast spells#

Sword, Spear, Axe, Bow, and Gauntlet can learn proficiency Lv. abilities: Lv.1 at D+, Lv.2 at C+, and Lv.3 at B+. Spear, Axe, Bow, and Gauntlet also list Lv.4 at A+. Unlisted learning entries remain undecided, and proficiency training alone does not change class.

White Magic teaches Laia at D, Resquia at C, Physic at B, Rescue at A, and White-Magic Mastery at S+. Black Magic teaches Fire at D, Thunder at C, Bolganone at B, and Thoron at A. None can be cast as Battlemaster, so keep them out of her current-class loadout.

Books and training gear suit her tastes#

She likes reading, sewing, and exercise, and dislikes woodlice and alcohol. Her favorite gifts include History of a Master, Tome from Away, Eastern Love Story, School Scandal, Tales of the Arena, Training Weights, Training Bracelet, and Strategy Manuscript.

Gifts raise bonds. They do not change her fixed class or directly improve Speed growth. Recruitment happens through the story, so these preferences add no joining requirements.

一句话结论

She joins late in a fixed class, so neither a beginner start nor The Eternal route is available. Treat her 15% gauntlet-art follow-up as a bonus; calculate kills without it.

Training route by stage#

Part 1: no formal training period#

Part 1 offers no formal recruitment or reclass training period for her. She is fixed as Battlemaster and cannot become Warrior or The Eternal.

Part 2: keep both characters alive#

When you encounter her and Aswan in Chapter 3, keep both alive for Part 3 recruitment. Part 2 still has no free training period for her.

Part 3: fill a melee slot immediately#

She joins through story and survival prerequisites after returning to town from the Segment 4 battle, at the start of Segment 5. Use her current level and learned abilities. As a fixed Battlemaster, she does not take the generic level 45 exam route.

Before a gauntlet finishing attack0/8

• Check available gauntlet arts. Python Technique has a 15% chance to follow up regardless of Attack Speed only in gauntlet-art combat. Ordinary ranged shots and sword or axe attacks do not gain it just because she can fight with fists.
• Choose targets worth attacking without a trigger. Let her take guaranteed finishes. If a kill needs the extra follow-up, reserve another unit. Low Speed limits her own follow-ups and can expose her to enemy ones.
• Equip only abilities and arts she actually has. Battlemaster can master War Master's Strike; check that she has learned it before counting its damage. The generic class table's level 45 and Sword/Axe/Gauntlet A guidance does not prove she can reclass.

• Check durability, Hit, and counter forecasts first. Use existing eligible gauntlets that meet the current objective rather than starting an unfamiliar weapon from zero. Mounts do not belong to this fixed foot route. :::

  

  Finish targets with gauntlets behind the front line#

  Place her behind core units for melee finishes or roster gaps. Let allies weaken targets, then use accurate gauntlet arts. Avoid groups of fast enemies and do not wait for a chance follow-up to save her. High HP and Strength growths still require checking current stats against incoming damage. A complete team need not replace anyone for her: she joins late and has a fixed class. If you lack melee units, use her existing physical stats to fill in.

  Recruitment#

  She joins on returning to Dagsion after Hanno's battle in Part 3 Segment 4, at the start of Segment 5. Part 2 survival prerequisites and multi-route checks still have gaps. See Tahonia's recruitment conditions. Gifts, Renown, and payment do not recruit her.

  Calculate the follow-up at only 15%#

• She is fixed as Battlemaster; the generic The Eternal recommendation does not apply.
• The follow-up chance is 15%; leave a backup for crucial kills.
• Confirm War Master's Strike mastery before counting its damage.

• Strength 43 comes from one save. Calculate kills using your own current Strength.
