Octopath Traveler Characters, Talents, and Path Actions
In Octopath Traveler, every hero has a default job, a special Path Action, and a unique Talent. While all Talents are different, several Path Actions are similar: both Primrose and Ophilia can Summon townspeople to battle, and Ophilia's Guide action works essentially the same way; Olberic and H'aanit can also Challenge or Provoke townspeople into battle, with Olberic fighting for himself and H'aanit using beasts to fight in her stead.
Only the character with specific Path Actions needs to be in the party to use the skill; there's no need for them to be the primary hero. With that said, Path Actions and Talents cannot be swapped, as they are linked to individual characters instead of specific jobs. Keep reading to learn about all of the game's different Path Actions and Talents as well as the biographies and jobs for each character in Octopath Traveler.
