Does the following: restores all allies to 100% health and sp. After that it boosts their stats like so: Attack\Defense\Agility\Mind + 10. It also gives them 1000* (Josephs level -1) experience, and lastly gives the experience/600 as HP + SP to the party. K.O.s Joseph and reduces his level by 30. |

It also ignores defense, has a guaranteed hit rate, has 10 out of 10 scaling for mind and 200 basic damage. Another thing of note is that it has 0 scaling for attack, meaning that attack gives no damage boost to this skill. |
| Push It To The Limit | 100 | 50 | Buffs all stats, restores HP, and cures status effects |

Tips & Tricks[]
Some of his earlier skills have okay attack scaling, matching or being better than his spirit scaling (Hermit Shot, Ripple Rush, S.Y Overdrive, Hermit Ripple for example) but two of his best skills, Cunning Hermit and True S.Y. Overdrive, have 0 attack scaling and a very high spirit scaling making him some sort of a tanky mage as he develops.
