Aldo

Who is Aldo?

Aldo is the leader of the Tenshodo, a shadowy underground guild based in Jeuno's Lower level. Despite running what amounts to a black market operation, Aldo is a principled man with a tragic past connected to the Crystal War. He plays a significant role in the Zilart storyline and is closely connected to Lion. Behind his calm exterior lies a skilled fighter who learned to survive in Jeuno's underworld.

Key Abilities

• Sneak Attack — when Aldo attacks from behind the enemy, his next hit deals massively increased damage. In FFXI, "behind" means Aldo is positioned at the monster's back. This ability is what makes Thieves burst damage dealers — one huge hit followed by normal attacks.
• Bully — intimidates the target, making it easier for Aldo to land his attacks. This is especially useful against high-evasion enemies that are hard to hit.

When to Use Aldo

Aldo is a straightforward melee DD trust with Thief abilities. His Sneak Attack gives him occasional big damage spikes, and Bully helps with accuracy. He works best when something else is holding the enemy's attention (a tank trust), since Sneak Attack requires him to be behind the target. A reliable mid-tier damage dealer for general content.
