Abilities
As with all five characters in Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, make sure to unlock Recovery Up, Charge Up, and Power Supply to keep your POW and HP up. Oswald has three very useful abilities that I recommend getting as soon as you’ve got the basic recovery abilities unlocked.
Dark Charge will double your POW recovery speed during Berserk Mode, Dark Embrace will nullify all status effects during Berserk Mode, and Dark Armor will decrease damage received by half during Berserk Mode. Needless to say, these three abilities will greatly enhance Oswald’s Berserk Mode and make him nearly invincible while in this state. These will also allow you to perform skill attacks consistently because of your high POW recovery speed. If you have the Vampiric Ring equipped, going into Berserk Mode will allow you to recover a lot of HP without having to resort to using a Healing Tonic as well.
Shadow Step can also be a useful ability for Oswald, though it’s not necessary. This ability allows you to warp to any direction, which can be handy if you need to make a quick escape from a boss combo, or if you’re trying to flank enemies. It’s useful, but I recommend getting the Berserk Mode abilities first to give Oswald all the physical power he can get.
