CLEARANCE::STANDARD

Rena has a healing ability possessed by none other. Having never known her birth parents, she always wondered where she belonged. She eventually learns the truth of her past, however, when she travels to the distant planet of Expel.

When Precis sends the SOS message along to Rena and Claude, the two are already on an Earth Federation mission and cannot abandon their duty. They promise to join as soon as they are done with their mission — but things do not go as smoothly as thought...

// tactical_assessment
Rena is the second healer obtained in game and by far the best. She has access to revival spells if leveled far enough in the Intelligence tree. Although she joins the party near the endgame, she is still worth investing points into — especially if you plan on doing post-game content. Her special skill "Rebirth" is also required for a few puzzles.
Skill Balance Graph
Skill Balance Graph — No one can master every skill in Blue Sphere. The graph gives a visual representation of how many skill points are in each of the four categories: Tec, Int, Btl, or Sen. Go too far in one direction and you'll find that you can no longer unlock skills in the opposite direction's category.
