— In-game description

Deployment Tactics is an action unlocked by questing at level 56. It is available for Scholar.

Related traits

• Enhanced Deployment Tactics (Lv. 88) - Reduces Deployment Tactics recast time to 90 seconds.
  

Related actions

• Adloquium
• Succor
• Concitation

Notes

• The recast time of this action is 120s until Enhanced Deployment Tactics is learned at Lv. 88.

Gameplay

• Most commonly used to distribute the barrier effect of Adloquium for a stronger party barrier than casting Succor / Concitation. This usage is colliqually and commonly referred to as "Spreadlo" by the playerbase.
• This action can still be used on party members that do not have Galvanize, which will do nothing and therefore waste this cooldown. This action also cannot be executed on alliance members; this action will instead target the scholar themselves if an alliance member is targetted.
• Manifestation also applies Galvanize, whose effect can also be extended to party members. Note that Seraphism cannot be executed while Dissipation is active, and vice-versa. Furthermore, Recitation will not apply to Manifestation.
• Deployment Tactics will not spread Catalyze if present.

Healing Potency Increases

The potency of Adloquium (and thus, Galvanize) can be further enhanced by status effects that increase healing magic potency, or increase healing received from both the scholar themselves and from other jobs.
