Gentiana, Messenger of the Gods

Gentiana is the embodied version of Shiva. She is a messenger from the Gods and works to cure Eos of the Starscourge. In Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire, she is the newest hero to bless our Empires. Because she has so many boosts, you might want to make sure Gentiana is with you and leveled up. 

When you open up her Hero Skills tree, you will see a lot of different abilities that can be unlocked. First, there is a Dungeon skill which boosts Dungeon HP, attack, and healing.

Next, are some combat stats boosts. Then there is Dark Monster attack. This is vital to current gameplay since a lot of the special monsters are levels 8 or 9. Lastly, you will see that she has the MP and monster stats like all the recent hero releases. The more you level her up, the higher her MP bar can go. With the new gear coming out recently, I’ve seen her MP bar up in the BILLIONS!

Gentiana has plenty of skills in her Mastery Tree as well. Seven Limit Break abilities with most of them assisting with your Dungeon skills. One of the best abilities that she has is the Dark Troop train queue. So don’t worry about needing to train troops constantly to hit your max capacity, you can do it with one click!

Hero Skills Tree

There aren’t too many combat skills in her Hero Tree. But the abilities that she has are decent and boost core and Elemental troops. Along with the Dungeon and Monster skills, you’re on your way to conquering any event that comes your way. Remember that you can add and remove skills at any time with VIP 141. No need for a Hero Skills reset!

Dungeon Dark Bonus: Increases your Dungeon HP bonus up to a max of 600,000%, Dungeon physical damage bonus up to a max of 600,000%, and your Dungeon healing bonus up to a max of 600,000%. Requires Gentiana Hero level 25.

Hero Mastery Skills

You don’t need to have Gentiana active to take advantage of these boosts. This is really nice since there is quite a variety of abilities to unlock. Some of the Mastery Skills start at Gentiana Hero level 48, and with the amount of hero exp given in packs, you should be able to get her to 50, then the medals will take you even further. A lot of people should appreciate the Dungeon Limit Breaks. Since the monsters in the Dungeon have become increasingly difficult to beat, every stat boost is important.

So, looking at all that you can see that her Mastery Skills along make her a valuable part of your empire. 

To use her Limit Breaks, you will need the following:

• Dark Astral Attack Reagent
• Dark Astral Health Reagent
• Dungeon Attack Reagent
• Dungeon Health Reagent
• Dungeon Healing Reagent
• Dungeon Stamina Reagent
• Dark Elemental Attack Reagent

Then you will go into the Arcanaeum and enchant whichever gear you want the boosts for. I included the piece of gear for each Limit Break to make it easier to reference. Each one of these boosts will last for 90 days. 

Gentiana’s Bonus Tips

• • Make sure to have a hero set in the Dark Order of the Hunt in the Order of Heroes for more Dungeon stats boosts. This one increases stamina by a lot.

  • Entering the Dungeon with Gentiana active uses Luna, but gives her the boosts from
    Gentiana’s Hero Skills tree. So, you can hit the monsters harder AND help heal your guildmates at the same time. Consider using Gentiana instead of King Noctis.

 

• Increase Dark Troop capacity even more by unlocking and leveling the Dark Workshop and leveling up your Citadel. This makes your higher troop training queue even more useful.

Gentiana, the High Messenger

Gentiana is one of the most capable heroes available to us in FFXV: ANE. It’s easy to see that her skills are valuable even at a lower level. Also, there have been many events recently that have given exp and medals to level her up. So getting her Skill Trees customized should be relatively easy. Even if you like using another hero for their benefits, don’t forget that she has quite a few Limit Breaks that you should take advantage of. I already have my Warren Gear enchanted. Do you have any other ways that Gentiana gives you an advantage in the game? Let me know on our Facebook page or hit us up on Line.
