Miyabi’s starting class, Troubadour, is one of the 8 Healer Classes in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Not only does the Troubadour class have exceptional healing abilities, it also has the ability to give its allies incredibly useful buffs and status effects.
To help you out with mastering the Troubadour class in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, we’ve prepared this guide for you where we’ll be showing you every bit of information you need to know about this class.
How to Unlock Troubadour
The Troubadour class can be unlocked in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 by completing the Hero Quest of Miyabi. Miyabi’s Hero Quest is named “Side Story: Mio” and it takes place in the Upper Aetia Region during Chapter 6.
During the start of Chapter 6, you’ll find yourself at the Captocorn Peak area. When you’re there, a cutscene about Mio, Sena and Miyabi’s backstory in Colony Theta will be triggered.
After the cutscene ends, Miyabi’s Hero Quest will be unlocked. This Hero Quest is very straightforward. You simply need to win a series of fights against the Colony Omega soldiers.
The final soldier you’ll have to fight will be Level 54 Moebius Y. Once you’ve defeated him, the Hero Quest will be over and the Troubadour class will be unlocked.
Best Troubadour Characters
The best characters to use with Troubadour in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 are Mio and Eunie.
Mio is a great choice as she has incredible Agility. Since the Troubadour is a Healer class, your job in the battlefield will be to stay alive and constantly help your allies. Since you won’t have good offensive abilities yourself, you’ll need good defense to be able to survive in the battlefield. This is why Mio is a great pick for the Troubadour class.
The next best pick for the Troubadour class is Eunie. Eunie has one of the highest Healing stats in the game. So naturally, Eunie is the best pick for the Troubadour class.
