Umbra Guide to 400
The Oracle’s canine companions Pryna and Umbra—female and male, respectively—serve as delivery dogs, relaying messages between Lunafreya and Noctis. Although they manifest themselves as a pair of white and black pups, they are in actuality Messengers boasting mystical powers of their own.

Umbra Hero Skills
If you have looked through Umbra’s Hero Skills, you might have noticed that they don’t quite follow a straight line down like we are used to. They split off in multiple directions for each troop type focus. Even though it might be a little tedious to skill them all, it will make it cheaper in AP to specialize in one particular troop type and save AP for more skills down the tree.
The best thing, however, is that you can start unlocking all of the skills at Umbra level 202!
One thing missing is a Guild Adventure Hall skill, which may not be missed at all.

Umbra Mastery Skills
There are very few skills in Umbra’s Mastery tree that are different from his Hero Skills tree. The boosts, however, are significantly larger! You will do well with any hero active only utilizing the Masteries, so you can pick any hero that will benefit you the most in combat.
Although the biggest deal is that these skills are unlocked at only hero level 202!

Guild Adventurers Hall
Unfortunately, there are no additional skills to improve Umbra’s Guild Adventure Hall attack as he levels up from 201-400. This isn’t that big of a deal since his abilities in the Halls aren’t that great.
Messengers Strike
- Deals 1250 damage with a chance to Weaken the target.
Messengers Trust
- Heals up to 20 heroes for 50 points and has a chance to reduce incoming damage by 10%. Also deals 1500 damage.
Mirror Hero
Every hero level increase since Royal Dark stats has come out added additional boosts to their Mirror Heroes and Umbra is no different. Unlike Pryna, Umbra gets a completely different boost replacing Core Troop Supplies with Royal Dark City Assault Combat. Although the other Mirror boost is just upgraded from Dark Troop with Hero to Royal Dark Troop Combat with Hero.
For even more boosts to Umbra’s Mirror Hero, make sure you complete the research in the Mirror Hero tab of the University!
Umbra Dark Hero Medals
The Dark Hero Medal requirements seem to be the same as Veteran Gladio and Veteran Ignis, if this changes as they’re leveled up this chart will be updated.
Summary
Umbra will boost your Dark Cavalry, Dark Airship, Dark Behemoth Kings, as well as Dark Lightning troops as you go into battle. Although, if you decide to war with Pryna, you will still benefit from these boosts due to the passive nature of Mastery Skills. Those skills are loaded with boosts, so you can’t go wrong.
You probably already have Umbra unlocked, so leveling him up to and past 200 will be a breeze and you can start gaining these boosts right away. Now, look in the Moogle Market, packs, or even events to get the Dark Hero Medals you need to level him up.
