What is "best"?
- Every character is different, but there are some general rules
- For Encouragement Armor holders, Paladin Cecil, or the refined version of it, is the best option, above absolutely anything else. Yes, they stack.
- For attackers that can heal themselves or the party, Garnet is excellent
- Alphinaud, Maria, Lluyd round out the rest of the generally useful spheres, ATK is all that matters
- For HP regen orbs, Porom & Rosa can help meet the orb if your team can't
