Ulmia is a Bard support trust who excels at buffing the party with songs. She is particularly valuable in parties with mage trusts, as her Ballad songs restore MP over time, keeping your healers and nukers fueled. She is an excellent alternative to Joachim, especially when your party composition leans toward magic users.
