This makes it lame for most enemies but amazing for bosses like the Lucavi.Ī 3-fight sequence. Drain has a miss chance and does damage based on target’s max HP. That said, he only has melee and Drain for damage.

Great for disabling foes, he can inflict Disable, Chicken (lower a unit’s Brave so far they become a literal chicken), Frog, Stone, Silence, etc. It’s basically the Oracle class but with no AoE or charge times.

Haste is always quick to cast and very useful.īeowulf (Templar) – Beowulf’s Templar class with its Spellblade is interesting. I found myself using Time Magic more and more, something I didn’t use much in previous playthroughs. And even with Swiftness as units get faster it still can be challenging to charge up a powerful spell. Time Mage gives Swiftness to reduce charge time but that takes the slot Arcane Strength goes to which means less damage. Reason is the most powerful spells take longer to charge. Pelinne (Summoner/Time Mage) – For as great as Black Mage and Summoner are for most of the game they start to lose their luster in late Chapter 3. Other than her own skills I had her get Move+2, Shirahadori for defense, and the Geomancer’s Attack Boost. Agrias gets some awesome ones like Hallowed Bolt for AoE and Divine Ruination which does a ton of damage and hits a 5-square line from Agrias. Decently powerful too, especially if you boost their P.Atk.

All ranged, some with AoE, and all with no charge time. The special Knight classes get cool attacks where they swing their sword and magic happens. She gets her own special class called Holy Knight with its Holy Sword abilities. That said, I haven’t got the last ability they added for DK as of writing this so we’ll see how that goes.Īgrias joins permanently at the end of Chapter 2. It doesn’t suck either but it’d have to be amazing to be worth that grind. I would’ve been better giving Ramza a different build. It still took forever and while the DK abilities are cool it’s not worth it. I brought a bench-warmer in so he could use actions on the bench-warmer for hardly any EXP but a bunch of JP so his level wouldn’t inflate too much. Since Chapter 4 is when the difficulty goes down anyway I decided to grind him to DK. I had Ramza working towards DK the whole game and he still probably wasn’t even halfway by Chapter 4. Master two classes and get a bunch of others to Lv. Unfortunately, they made the requirements absolutely ridiculous. For the remake they made Gafgarion a Fell Knight and made Dark Knight a class any unit could go to. Gafgarion was always a Dark Knight in the original but you never got a permanent DK on the team. A sort-of new addition to the remake is the Dark Knight class.
