FuSoYa: Abilities and Level Progression

FuSoYa joins at the Crystal Palace with a broad spell list already available. You don’t need to grind him up to a particular spell milestone before he can help. Put him in the back row and look at what the next fight needs: healing, protection, or offense.

His starting Level 50 profile has 1,900 HP and 190 MP. That’s enough for a big spell, but not enough to treat the MP supply as bottomless.

What Does He Learn Next?

The spells below are already in his joining menu, not a level-by-level unlock schedule. The practical question is which one helps enough to justify its cost.

MeteoMagicTellah learns this after Cecil's summit trial. Its 99-MP cost exceeds his 90 maximum MP. / Flare	99 / 50

Unlike Tellah’s 90-MP maximum, FuSoYa’s 190 MP is enough to select a 99-MP MeteoMagicTellah learns this after Cecil's summit trial. Its 99-MP cost exceeds his 90 maximum MP.. That does not make it the best use of his turn or nearly half his MP. Keep enough for the recovery/support you expect to need.

Regen appears in his battle commands, but its exact recovery behavior has not been established in this reference. Don’t assume it restores MP or makes ordinary healing unnecessary.

Equipment Modifiers

Equipment bonuses are fixed; they do not increase with your level. Add these primary-stat modifiers to the base values above. Defense and evasion belong to the equipment/combat calculation, not the five primary stats. This is the relevant equipment selection, not an exhaustive catalog.

Base Stats by Level

These are base primary stats, with equipment bonuses removed. HP and MP are the recorded maxima from this run, not guaranteed rolls. A dash means the base value is not established; missing levels are not interpolated. Attack, Defense and their multipliers are separate derived combat values.

Level	Max HP	Max MP	Str	Agil	Vit	Wis	Will
50	1900	190	10	20	10	40	40
51	1922	190	10	20	10	40	40

At Level 50, base Wis 40/Will 40 becomes Wis 45/Will 60 with his starting outfit. Level 51 retains the same base primary stats; Level 52 has only HP/MP confirmed.
