After looking online and viewing tier lists, it may seem like Agnea got the short end of the stick in Octopath Traveler 2. She may be lacking when compared to other powerhouses like Hikari or Ochette, but that doesn't mean she can't fill an important supportive role on a team. Give her a good secondary job, and the Dancer from Cropdale can shine just as brightly as the rest of the party.
How should players build Agnea in Octopath Traveler 2?
There are two really strong options that Agnea can use in Octopath Traveler 2: a Merchant build, and an Apothecary build. The reason why the Merchant build works well is because it allows Agnea to buff a character and give them BP within a couple turns.
Both of Agnea's buff skills (Lion's Dance and Peacock Strut) last for two turns. This means that after turn one, with a Merchant build Agnea can grant the target some BP, potentially allowing the target to use a boosted Divine Skill or simply a strong boosted attack.
On top of that, Merchant Agnea can earn lots of JP very quickly. Merchant grants Agnea Arrow of Fortune (which gains JP after use), and Agnea already gets Hard Worker (earns extra JP) through Dancer. This can be an easy way to learn skills in a hurry.
As for Apothecary Agnea, it's simply nice to have healing utility along with support utility. Agnea isn't really known for her damage output, so having her able to heal is a cheap way to get value out of her. Apothecary also gives Agnea Poison Axe, which can help drain Boss HP.
