Knights of Cygnus Skill Tables

It's better just to get Max HP first. You will be 13/14 by the time you leave Ereb. They have quests after you advance to kill 30 slimes/mushrooms/pigs. That levels you fast. So getting 1 sprite at 14 isn't a big problem.

You still need to use attacks. Sprite speeds that up if you can't afford pots (which isn't that uncommon)
