Chocobo Training

[Estellios]

The best chocobo is a mixed chocobo IMO.

Work up to Choco Cure in the healer tree then put points into attacker and defender for the various passive bonuses, getting as far into attacker as possible.

Keeping your chocobo in free stance makes it so it doesn't move from where it's attacking (the healer chocobo is really hard to keep alive because it keeps following you...) and it can dish out some pretty nice extra dps while still healing you if you drop below 50% or so. It's a lower threshold than a healer stance chocobo but it shouldn't be anywhere low enough to be an issue.

You can't really do this when your chocobo gets too high rank in the different trees though, since it gets too many self-buff skills and will spend more time using those than actually attacking or healing. You'll have to micromanage at that point but the chocobo will be really strong if you do that.
