Courage Skill Set for Hero

Courage is the most important Skill Set for the Hero. You'll be using Zoom from the moment you get it until you beat the game, Holy Protection is another one of the most commonly used spells outside of battles. Zap and Kazap are fantastic AoE attacks for combat and Omniheal is a group heal which heals everyone to full HP. I'm leaving out a bunch but you should get the point by now. Max out Courage as quickly as possible.
