Our Tips:
Duran is one of the most well-balanced characters in Trials of Mana. Going down the Light path gives him access to higher defensive abilities in order to aid his team while fighting on the front line. Traveling down the Dark path gives Duran a much higher emphasis on being an outright attacker who hits enemies hard at their weaknesses. For anyone just starting out, taking the Light path would make for a balanced character that wouldn’t require any other healers as long as they’re on top of keeping their friends refreshed on health and is a great beginning class with some depth to what he’s capable of. The Light path is also the only way Duran is able to wield a defensive shield item as he uses a one-handed sword. The Dark path is for those who want to make Duran a heavy hitter whether through magic enhancements to his weapons or simply the ability to boost his own strength constantly.
Best Team Composition:
Duran is a great attacker who can be an additional defender if necessary.
- Dark Duran needs a healer to back him up which makes him great to work alongside a Light Charlotte and Dark Riesz where the combination allows the two Dark fighters to focus on attacks while Charlotte gives out magical assistance.
- Light Duran, Light Angela and a Dark Hawkeye make for a delightfully unique team that has Hawkeye laying down traps and allowing him and Angela to do the heavy magic attacks while he takes brief moments to heal if needed.
