Skies of Arcadia/Crew

Although some of the information contained on this page is covered in the game's manual, if you don't want part of the plot revealed please skip this section of the guide.

Crew Members
On a ship as large as the Delphinus, you'll need a crew to man it. There are several jobs for the crew to take, and you can have two crewmembers for each role. Only one will be "active" however, and different members will have different effects on your ship's performance.

As you build up your crew you'll be able to use their abilities in battle to boost your attributes, or increase certain ship parameters as long as they're active.

In addition to the benefits to the Delphinus, as you gather more crewmembers, your "Blue Rogues" Captain Move will be more effective at both attacking and replenishing your party.
