- James: Opting for a retaliatory approach, James utilizes “Soulfire” to harness spirits for attacking foes with fire.
- Xander: With “Bravery,” Xander ensures his and his allies’ survival in combat by fostering mutual protection and loyalty.
- Dimona: Taking an active role in battle, Dimona uses “Take to the Skies and Divinity Mount” to attack from above, controlling the battlefield aerially.
