Octopath Traveler 0 Guides Converge on Best Character-Creation Picks

Major guides now favor Twin Shot with permanent accessories for an easier opening.

Overview

  • Character creation asks players to pick a Learned Skill, a Favorite Dish, and three belongings that meaningfully shape the early hours.
  • Twin Shot is widely recommended because its two hits accelerate shield breaks, while the healing and debuff options are more situational early on.
  • Favorite Dishes grant +10% Max HP and SP for 15 turns plus a +5% stat bonus, with a physical-attack boost highlighted as a safe all-purpose choice.
  • Permanent accessories offer reliable early stat gains, and the Nourishing Nut delivers a large, lasting increase to maximum HP.
  • Valuables such as the Crested Key can trigger the early recruitment of Viator, though most valuables are obtainable soon and you gain further power through early Job and Mastery choices.
