Research notes

Give Kiroc one gift per in-game week and pair him in a shared meal, arena session, temple service or thermae visit at every free-time window, plus keep him adjacent in combat, to reach 3 support levels with him by chapter 6. Why: Satisfies the 3S support component of Kiroc's Cai's-route gate. Support accrues from weekly gifts (one per character per week), shared meals, arena training, temple service, world-map feasts, theatre, thermae and combat adjacency — planning-inputs.md §Support.
Prioritise quests from the start of Cai's route, above all the route's Kindness Quests, alongside divine audiences, skirmishes and main-story chapter progress, to reach 8 renown by chapter 6. Why: Satisfies the 8R renown component of Kiroc's Cai's-route gate. Quests are the largest single renown source and each route has its own specialised quest type — Kindness Quests on Cai's route (planning-inputs.md §Renown).
Buy 8x Pure Water, checking item shops and markets every chapter from the start of the route and topping up whenever stock appears. Why: Satisfies the 8x Pure Water item component of Kiroc's Cai's-route gate. Consumable; planning-inputs.md records no shop, price, stock limit or first-available chapter for Pure Water, so stock must be found by checking shops each chapter.

Story and profile

Who they are

Kiroc is a pirate in his late forties, tall at 190cm, who once ran the Black Swan Pirates and was called Monster Bird. By 1449 he is on his own, without ship or crew. He likes thievery, ships, the open sea and underlings who do as they are told.

He joins in Part 1 as a Hunter, and the guide ranks him A. His Speed and HP growths are both 55%, with Dexterity at 50%, so he hits often and is hard to catch. Tyranny gives him Atk+3 and Crit+10, but only against a foe with a status effect, so another unit has to apply one first. Bow Skill is his preferred skill and bows are his only proficiency, which suits the path Hunter, Archer, Sniper, Bow Knight. Resistance and Magic growths are both 15%, so keep him away from mages.
