Bernard Seramite/Rance VI

About
Bernard is just horrible. First off, he's a male, so no H to increase his Level Cap. To increase his level cap you need to use items that are better used for something else, and apparently there are no FR raising events for him. His stats are also subpar, with no evasion and low magic resistance, and only his attack and health being almost decent.

You can raise his Level Cap by using 3 Sand Lances with Mikan while he is at his cap. You will need to to do this every time he hits his intermediate level cap so make sure to set aside at least 15 Sand Lances for him alone if you really want to max him out this way. To reach the level cap of 52, use the Disposal Dungeon to get him to 49, then use 3 Sand Lances to raise his cap again.

Will probably be the first person to get dumped once you need party space.

Upgrade Priorities:
 * "Multi-Slash" is probably the first priority upgrade if you want to use him for some reason
 * In the Japanese v1.05 upgrading his "Multi-Slash" skill is removed and you can raise his dodge rate instead, perhaps making him even more useless...
 * In any case he doesn't exactly have much to choose from... Just ditch him when better members become available, okay?

Recommended Items

 * Ice Pendant - Reduces damage from Ice attacks. There's probably a lot of those lying around so you don't feel like you're blowing a useful item.
