In Combat
Phil is the third character recruited into the party, joining during Heavensward just before the events of the Aery. His main job is White Mage, though he also comes with Scholar and Astrologian. In Endwalker, he obtains the Sage job, as a requirement of his teaching credentials obligates him to keep up to date on all healing disciplines. He comes with Nirvana, a healer staff.
His Pedagogy trait boosts the party's EXP gain as long as he is part of the active formation.
He can use Saintly Bubble, a water-aspected Stun that binds the target in a bubble for a short duration or until the bubble's HP shield is depleted. Hikaru is able to learn Saintly Bubble herself via her Job Gleaning mechanic.
Phil excels at single-target healing. As Cure-series spells are considered Wind-aspected, it synergizes with his inherent elemental affinity and thus recovers more HP. This also applies to his single-target Regen.
In the Extended continuity, all Ishgardians are required to undergo training in some form of martial combat, and thus Phil is able to use the Paladin job as well, allowing him to assume a Tank role if needed. In Stormblood, he acquires the Samurai job, effectively making him an All-Rounder.
His Limit Break is Font of Life, a medley of original spells from all of his Healer jobs. Curaja fully heals the party (and revives anyone who is incapacitated), Luminant Dawn applies a high-potency Regen, Time Dilation applies Haste and Prismatic Shower deals modest damage and inflicts Slow on all enemies. Font of Life is the replacement for all Healer Rank 3 Limit Breaks, and evolves as Phil acquires more Healer jobs.
