Recruiting Stia in Octopath Traveler 0 is an important early step in rebuilding Wishvale, and she quickly becomes one of the most reliable supporters you can add to your team. In this guide, we will walk you through exactly how to find her, the tasks you need to complete to bring her into your party, and why she is such a valuable companion on your journey.
How to Recruit Stia
To recruit Stia, talk to Stia in the ruins of Wishvale to start the Flames of Restoration quest. Clear out the rubble to make a flat building area, then go to the Wishvale Woodlands to gather wood. Bring the materials back to Stia so you can build the Workshop together. After the Workshop is finished, you need to choose what you want to focus on: Fame, Money, or Power, and Stia will join your party.
Stia in Octopath Traveler 0
Stia is the Ringbearer’s best friend and the daughter of Lavore, the town’s builder. She is always by her father’s side, acquiring the skills and dreaming of becoming a carpenter who travels from country to country. She has dark hair neatly confined behind a red band, and she typically wears a white shirt, long brown skirt, and black shoes. After Stia becomes a real architect, she also starts to wear a green apron and black gloves.
Stia is warm, cheerful, and cares a lot about everyone in her town. Even after their hometown is destroyed, she doesn’t lose hope. Instead, she teams up with the protagonist and promises to rebuild it, no matter how tough the journey gets.
Stia Skills
Stia is a simple and reliable support character. She has a lot of tools that not only help with the offence but also offer defence, making her a valuable player in almost any party. Her ultimate ability recovers the BP faster than the entire group and also restores the SP of the whole team, letting everyone stay in the fight longer and unleash big attacks more often.
Stia is a support-focused fighter. She specialises in helping her team. Most of the time, she is the one taking care of every situation with her perfectly balanced stats and without any major weaknesses. Stia uses both knives and axes and starts with two very useful skills: First Aid, which allows her to heal her party members, and Chop Wood, which is a good damage dealer for attacking fallen enemies. As she levels up, she learns more handy abilities like Donate BP to help the team build BP faster, Stroke of Genius to give herself special buffs, and Greater Distribution to share those buffs with another ally.
Her support skills keep the party safe. Stia can automatically heal, increase her SP and elemental resistances. When facing an enemy that inflicts poison, sleep or other effects, it is often the smartest move to place Stia in the back row so that she can keep the team clean and steady.
Stia is not the type of character built for heavy damage dealing, but you can build her that way if you wish. Teaching her extra axe or dagger skills makes her a reliable breaker, and her reasonable elemental attack can work well on her, too. Or, you can maintain her as a support character by equipping her with abilities like Rehabilitate that strengthen her main role.
