  • 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

The Usuals

  • Paladin Cecil for Encouragement armor

  • Ceodore, Braska or Minwu for Some extra healing

  • Garnet for attackers that can heal (selfish ATK boost)

  • Maria/Llyud on healers/HP regen units

  • Alphinaud for units who buff often

Battery C spheres

Paladin Cecil's sphere or Refined (RF) sphere are the undisputed best for anyone with an Encouragement Keystone passive from their HG armor.
