Phoenix isn't the only one showering the party with auto boosts. Once the combat begins, Crow's Trumpeter emerges, with all three auto buffs shining over the party.

With Trumpeter active, Crow takes the hit from Bloodbath, but Hiro does not. His ability to Repel Physical knocks back some of the damage to the opposing Shadow. While Crow uses Concentrate, Hiro unleashes a Megidolaon.

He's frailer in this form, but that shouldn't hinder his offensive capabilities, and the added speed and agility should come in handy.
