[FFUP]
v0.8
Been some time, huh?
New builds, a few rewrites plus some skill name fixes. Still need to get those
bloody Seeq skill names done though.
v0.7b
Bunch of stuff, mainly name fixes and a few new builds.
v0.7a
Blue Mage and White Mage comments are here.
v0.7
Chocobo Knights are the best. Check out the superior build I used to replace
the awful old two. Nothing can compare.
I think I did some other things as well besides fixing up those awesome Choco
Knights. Go find them on your own ==;
v0.6
Some skill name fixes and another build.
I need to get around to changing all the S abilities to P abilities. I have to
question why Square changed that (Along with removing the messages from after
battle and replacing them with quest reports... but thats irrelavent)
Oh yeah, Beastmaster is finally up.
v0.5
MOAR BUILDS!!!1
Plus a fix with the blue magick list and uh... a lot of things. Just read
through and spot them!
v0.4
All quest names are English now. Sky Pirate and Agent is up too. Also
1st build is ready.
v0.3
Some more English names also Adelle and Penelo's special class is up now.
v0.2
The English version changed more names than I thought. Oh well have some
English names. I'll try fix up the rest when my laziness doesn't continue to
plague my mind.
Also Summoners don't get Half HP and Nu Mou's DO get Blood Price. I'll need to
look into how Viera get Half MP and its probably a good guess Arcanists have
Blood Price.
v0.1
First version, very imcomplete but has most details. AP costs need to be
checked, MP costs need to be added, AOE as well.
Also comments need to be done for every job and Builds and Special jobs need
to be done at some point too. Finally I need to get the proper english names.
This will probably be done once my English copy arrives.
= = = = = =
Hume Jobs
= = = = = =
[FFHU]
Ah yes Humes, the most common units. They have the most classes of any race and
have all rounded stats making them capable at using magic and attacking up
close or from a distance. Luso is of the Hume race too however bear in mind
that his base magic and speed is very low.
Adelle is too.... but why use these when you got the Heritor ;)

- Comments -
The first of the two Thief classes. Of the two, the Hume one is stronger and
can take hits. Whereas the Moogle one is faster and more evasive.
Like Soldiers, the class itself is bad but the abilities are quite good and are
needed to get some of the game's better items. However they have taken quite a
blow as they can no longer steal certain items, only items determined by rank.
Because of this you can no longer steal an enemy's weapon. Counter is a good
easy to get R-Ability though and Maintenance is useful when fighting Snipers
and Turtles.
Also they're needed to get the Ninja class. One of the game's best classes.

White Mages are useful to have but you'll find those Blood Price Summoners
make better healers. That doesn't mean they're useless though, healing magic
is always nice to have and now there's less laws to restrict their use.
They did lose Protect and Shell though, and their stat growth is really bad
but they're useful to have.

now competing with the Nu Mou's wide array of magic classes.

- Comments -
Paladins were one of the best classes in FFTA. In FFTA2 they still are but
their attack growth took a hit. They're still a fantastic defensive fighter.
Cover is a useful ability for defending mages or archers from taking damage
whilst Holy Blade, Saint Cross and Purification are just general useful
attacking abilities.

- Comments -
Paired up with Geomancy, Parivir's can do ridiculous amounts of damage that
makes Ultima Shot and Holy Blade seem pointless. However they do have a clear
flaw and that's their low defenses. They're pretty much a cannon made of
glass.
To make up for this though they have the highest attack growth of all Hume
classes. The best way to go with this one is alternate between levelling up
as a Parivir and as a Paladin or Fighter.

This class is important for two things. Double Sword and excellent Speed
growth. Maining this class isn't a bad idea since its got decent stat growth,
but like the Parivir its defenses are pretty lacking. The Ninja's A-Abilities
sound useful but they're too weak and the chance they inflict status is too
low. Paired up with the Seer's abilities though and you're in the hands of a
fast and capable ranged fighter.

- Comments -
Of all the Hume magick users, this class is my favorite. Its abilties are fun
to use and they're also very useful. Dragon Force and Mighty Gaurd are
fantastic buff spells. White wind and Angel Whisper are great healing spells
too, considering Blue Magick is useful even to melee fighters, you'll find
they can heal more HP than Curaga would ever dream of. Roar is very useful
in the Brightmoon Tor and finally Matra Magic is fairly overpowered.
The best part about it is that any class can use it as a sub command. Fighters,
Paladins, Ninjas and Parivirs can use it as a way to buff up and become
walking tanks. Hunters and Archers can use Dragon Force to improve their
damage. Mages can add to their elemental coverage with Quake and Sandstorm.
Of course this class does have a weakness and that is the bad stat growth he
gets and the difficulty of actually learning the spells. Otherwise this is a
top tier class and is recommended for any party.

Fellow fans of the Hunter class lament with me; they've been nerfed. The
Concentrate nerf is one thing but their attack growth has been lowered too.
They still get Ultima Shot though, and Sidewinder is even more useful as
monster units are more common now. However they're competing with Gria
Hunters... the superior hunter who get access to Sudden Strike which is
better than Ultima Shot plus excellent movement. Poor poor Hume Hunter...

Average stat growth but it has useful abilities. Ninjas and Blue Mages will get
a lot of fun out of Magic Frenzy. Ribbons are among the best helmets in the
game and will prevent those nasty status conditions. And finally, Damage>MP
is a useful reaction for mages... though Reflex is preferred anyway.

Bad stat growth aside, Fusilers haven't changed much. They still have the best
ranged weapon and with Ultima Charge they can be a force to be reckoned with.
However Concentrate's accuracy boost is lower plus the chances of that status
shots inflicting status now it a lot lower. Its still one of the best Moogle
classes anyway.

Red Chocobo's have the mighty Choco Meteor, Black Chocobo have the best

White Mages are useful to have but you'll find those Blood Price Summoners
make better healers. That doesn't mean they're useless though, healing magic
is always nice to have and now there's less laws to restrict their use.
They did lose Protect and Shell though, and their stat growth is really bad
but they're useful to have.

Pretty good for a starting class O_o
I recommend one for Exorcise which helps for those annoying ghosts. They're
fast for a Bangaa class too. Whats even better is they finally got an advanced
version of their class too, which is one of the best Bangaa classes.

Watch out Dragoon! You got a rival for best stat growth!
Gladiators get the upper hand though by getting the mighty Ultima Sword.
However since Bangaas have very low MP, don't expect to be using it a lot.
Great class though! Just be weary about their low defenses.

Japanese players consider this to be the best Bangaa Job, and you can see why.
Great speed and attack growth, paired with some powerful abilities, White
Monks were already good enough O_o
Its defenses are average at best though but they shouldn't bother you at all.

My favorite Bangaa class from FFTA seems to remain the same as ever. Still
worth the effort unlocking; however Lifebreak's hit rate is considerbly worse
now. Haste really helps this guy stand out though as Bangaa's do have really
bad speed.
Templar's are still a grat anti-mage unit too with Soul Sphere though...
usually the Templar is able to kill a mage in one hit with a normal attack.

Also known as the class that spends a lot of turns doing nothing and then
finally does something only to repeat the whole waste turns process again.
Of course I haven't used one yet but looking at the AI, they do seem more
focused on charging and wasting turns. The bad stats don't help it much
either. Recovering MP is always useful though.

Always wanted a Bangaa as fast as a Ninja or Assassin?
They got unique spells, and cards are the best ranged weapon in the game, since
they have great range and ignore obstacles.
Their stat growth is fantastic for a magic Bangaa and is worth maining for
those two reasons alone. Ultima Sword + Cards is force to be feared.
However if you're going for their abilities to aid a physical Bangaa try to
avoid levelling up as this unless you need the speed growth.

Like Humes, they have great stats all around. However they traded defenses for

White Mages are useful to have but you'll find those Blood Price Summoners
make better healers. That doesn't mean they're useless though, healing magic
is always nice to have and now there's less laws to restrict their use.
They did lose Protect and Shell though, and their stat growth is really bad
but they're useful to have.

Great attack growth and their abilities are useful. They're fun to use though
not quite as fun as a Lanista. Their equipment selection is the worst however
so if you're going for a non-Ranger Seeq go master this class, level up as it
and then move on to Lanista.

Reversing items is pretty broken. Paired up with Item Lore and high Speed
growth you have a Seeq that is usuable even in post-game. They're boring to
use if you ask me though but they're useful.
Traps are gimmicky though. And there's very few chokepoints to untilise them
in.

These guys are a lot of fun to use and their abilities are unique. They seem
to not do as much damage as other classes though but they're great in the
main storyline. Look for something else post-game.
An important class though since they have the best R-Abilities for Seeqs.
The Bonga Bugle editor is right though, Rangers are better than Lanistas =/

Bad. Seeqs are AWFUL with magic, and aside from magic the only useful abilities
are Doublehand, Warcry and that destroy armor skill. Go with a Lanista or a
Ranger instead.
You will need them for a few dispatch missions though.

Hey another Soldier upgrade -_-;
Don't think low of them though as their abilities work well with any of the
Gria classes.
The Crush moves are useful on a Hunter, the wind spells work well on a
Geomancer and their Crush skills also work great with a Ravager.

The only useless Gria class. Grias are very limited in magic use having only
these spells and the Raptor's magic spells to work with. Strangely enough
their magic growth is actually pretty bad, go with Raptor for better magic.
I really can't recommend this class either way though, they look the worst out
of all Gria classes too.

Cons
- Equipment selection is not too good
- Requires a fire shield
- Not too good against enemies that resist fire

A build posted by mattster on the boards in attempt to attack the mighty
Paladin/Parivir build. Naturally it failed since fully charged Peytral and
Sequencer plus Flair is something that cannot lose (Unless you're like me
and your Ravager is using the Peytral).
Anyway its simple run around using Backdraft (No toilet humor plz thnx) to
do some decent damage and get healed from it thanks to the fire shield
equipped. If you want more power, use Geomancy instead however the recoil
will do 0 damage instead of healing you.
It works but Paladin/Parivir or Parivir/Blue Mage are much stronger and are
superior.
--BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE AURA

Exactly the same as the Aura-build I posted on the Parivir in an early version
of the guide. Right down to mocking Lucario's terrible voice acting in Brawl.
Anyway, works exactly the same only you don't look as cool and you're slower.
Aurablast for the approach, proceed to batter with elemental baldes once you're
in range. Great build but the Parivir itself does the job better.
Paladin

--The most overused Hume build EVAR

+ Fantastic equipment selection
Cons
- Slow. Even slower if you're using Luso with this build.
- Limited range attacks
- Chibalry is mostly useless on this set
- Comments -
The Pros and Cons pretty much say it all. Yeah its powerful, Peytral + Sequence
for the win. Bonecrusher works on this build too but is probably better to have
a more defensive R-Ability
--Marche Build

+ Can attack twice with normal Attack commands
+ Great stats

+ Capable at defending other units
Cons
- Slow
- Requires a lot of AP to set up
- Holy Blade costs a lot of MP
- Damage is lower than the above build
- Comments -
Yup, its the old Marche build everyone was using in FFTA1. It still works but
just isn't as effective. Again Bonecrusher works but Strike Back is preferred
for defensive ability. You can use Reflex if you want but attacking back twice
is a lot more satisfying.

A little experiment build I thought up, the idea is to use Mighty Guard (Relax
its the easiest Blue Magick to learn next to Dragon Force), and start Covering
units. It will shrug of hits like no tommorrow. To boost its effectiveness cast
Shell, Protect and Regen on this guy too.
Obviously it will see little practical use either way but it might be fun to
play around with.

- Reflex is this build's worst enemy
- Comments -
Honestly the Seer is overrated. This build can work but the damage is so low
that you may as well not bother. The magic hits add no benefit but to allow
targeting for Magick Frenzy. And Reflex blocks this set off completly.
Even moreso the Paladin is really slow and both jobs have bad speed growth,
it works on a Ninja but not a Paladin guys.

- Slow (Unless you equip speed raising items)
- Bad weapon equips
- Limited ranged attacks
- Comments -
Katanas are annoyingly rare. At least the best Katana is easy to get but it
doesn't raise speed like the others. Its your choice weather you want speed
or power.
Dragon Force and Mighty Guard are only Blue Magicks you need. Though honorable
mention to War Dance, White Wind and Angel Whisper is needed. The Parivir will
probably hit 999 anyway though Dragon Force helps out with the damage plus it
helps the team too.
Roar works too but I like my buffs >_>;

The best build for a Samurai in FFT was Draw Out/Terrain/Counter/Doublehand/
Move + 3. Here is a recreation of the build though with a number of differences
Counter is actually pretty good now as it can work on most close ranged attacks
Geomancy replaces Doublehand since it allows the elemental blades to do more
damage. Doublehand can still work though if you want to strengthen your normal
attacks for some reason.
Ninjutsu is the closest to the Geomancy skills from FFT. They do small damage
but may inflict status.
This build is good but really, the Blue Magick build is preferred. Or you can
have this one...

Aurablast is great. Its the only Fighter move you'll need on this set.
Naturally it lacks the various uses that the Blue Magick build has but it makes
up for it by having the best physical ranged skill in the game.

Gria Hunters vs Hume Hunters the long time debate.
Here is the best build a Hume Hunter can possibly get. Ultima Shot is your main
attack here, Hume's don't get the stat growths of a Raptor to get both attack
and magic high but the Parivir's growth should be enough.
Sidewinder is for those ever so common monsters. Aim is if you want your Hunter
to bestow some debuffs whilst Blue Magick is for Dragon Force to make use of
those turns waiting for Ultima Shot.
Even with the sheer power of Ultima Shot, Hume hunters are still outclassed by
Gria ones. Gria ones have the Raptor's high attack and magic growth to work
with plus Gria's have Sneak Attack which allows them to double damage at every
turn whilst Hume's have to wait 4 turns in order to use their triple damage
attack. Not worth it.
Geomancy with elemental bows makes up for this loss though. Geomancy with the
Seventh Haven or Max's Oathbow is cool. However this limits your Hunter's
options on what enemies you can attack. And mind you enemies that absorb
Light and Dark damage are very common. Although...
--Lv50 Hunter, Alignment: Neutral
- Trapping
- Chivalry
- MP Channelling
- Geomancy
Pros
+ Elemental damage
+ Powerful
+ Decent speed
+ Ranged attacks
Cons
- Ultima Shot is expensive
- Holy Blade is expensive
- Must have Max's Oathbow
- Almost Outclassed by Gria Hunters
- Needs MP to actually do something
- Comments -
Holy Blade for undead, Ultima Shot for everything else.
Hey look you're not walled anymore! Actually I'm not sure if Holy Blade works
with Bows or not but I'm pretty sure it does.
Again like the Ultima Spammer it needs MP in order to do anything but outside
that though.
Illusionist (Hume)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--Sweep
- Illusion
- Blue Magick
- Restore MP
- Geomancy
Pros
+ Attacks all enemies
+ Spells look cool
Cons
- Somewhat slow
- Damage isn't the best
- Frail
- Comments -
Okay guys here it is, the best Hume magic user and the best Illusionist build.
Sure Nu Mou's are pretty good too but they don't get that oh so useful
R-Ability and Dragon Force.
Anyway cast Dragon Force to boost your magic and proceed to batter the enemies
with your Illusion skills, Geomancy boosts its power to a somewhat decent
level of damage.
I haven't tried this out yet but I do plan to. In thoery it should work quite
well, just make sure you level up as a Black Mage first.
Seer
~~~~~~
--Basic
- Great Magick
- Illusion
- Replenish MP
- Geomancy
Pros
+ Needs MP to do anything
+ Can restore MP
+ Attack all enemies
Cons
- Damage is lacking
- Comments -
First off, this is all thoery but if this theory works... well have fun.
Anyway...
With proper stat growth you have a unit capable of hitting both ends of the
spectrum. Great Magick + Magick Frenzy serves as your physical and magical
attacks. Though they're great for attacking a group of units I wouldn't use
this too much. The main highlight is Illusion.
Illusion + Magick Frenzy = Carnage. Whilst you won't be doing much damage you
will be softening the enemies enough so your Paladin or Trickster or whatever
move in and score kills with little effort.
Geomancy allows the Illusion spells to hit much harder. Whilst Replenish MP
allows your Seer to go super saiyan and begin his book storm when attacked.
They only flaw is that Illusion spells have stupidly high MP costs. To fix
this the Great Magick contains a spell that also restores MP. Despite this
you may consider having a unit with the Item command (Like a Ranger) or a
Chocobo Knight to fix your MP problems.
I have yet to try this however and I cannot confirm if Magick Frenzy does work
with Illusion. If it does however this set might be fun to use.
Arcanist
~~~~~~~~~~
--Here is true power~~~!
- Arcane Magick
- Illusion
- Reflex/Absorb MP
- Halve MP
Pros
+ Attacks all units
+ Paired up with the right equipment it can heal all allies
+ Can haste all allies too
+ Elemental damage
+ Rarely gets attacked (Assuming you're smart and will keep the guy as far away
as possible)
Cons
- MP Costs are expensive
- Bad stat growth
- Weak attacks
- Slow
- No Peytral for your awesome Ravager or Paladin =(
- Comments -
Arcanists have the best design of all Nu Mou characters (Admit it, you're gar
for Duke Snakeheart), and if they had the cool arcane spells from FFXII they
would've been great... but alas we can only dream. This set works pretty well
though. Set up your characters to abosrb dark damage and start throwing L?
Shadow Flare and Level 3 Dark like no tommorrow. L5 Haste is helpful and the
Illusion spells will attack all enemies who are weak to a certain element.
Though Star Cross would probably get the most use since the enemies who absorb
Dark will often be weak to Holy attacks >_>
Trickster
~~~~~~~~~~~
--TRAP CARD!!!1
- Sleight of Hand
- Sparring
- Dragonheart
- Halve MP/Unscarred
Pros
+ Ultima Sword
+ Best ranged weapon in the game
+ Can inflict status
+ Very Fast
+ Elemental Damage
Cons
- Frail
- Comment -
This bangaa set seems have gotten quite a lot of popularity. Anyway this makes
you no longer have to worry about the Trickster's stat growth since Ultima is
magic based. Anyway run around throwing Ultima Sword with the best ranged
weapon in the game. Halve MP allows you to pull off Ultima Sword quickly and
Dragonheart improves the chances of survival.
The Trickster abilities can be helpful too while waiting for a good amount of
MP.
Also if you prefer, you can have Unscarred and use Beat Down or normal attacks
while waiting for your MP to build. Not very effective but its useful in long
survival runs (Like the Brightmoon Tor) since you gain boosted stats to assist
your Trickster.
--Magic the Gathering
- Sleight of Hand
- Prayer
- Dragonheart
- Halve MP
Pros
+ Varied spell effects
+ Can inflict status
+ Very fast
Cons
- Outclassed by every other magic user
- Comments -
Neat support unit but as or offense you may want to try something else.
Mog Knight
~~~~~~~~~~~~
--Let me be the hero, kupo!
- Mog Knight command
- Stunt
- MP Shield
- Concentrate/Geomancy
Pros
+ Ultima Charge
+ Good stats for a moogle
+ Smile Toss
+ Decent equips
Cons
- Outclassed by other melee attackers
- Comments -
For those who want their moogle to go on the offensive this is the way to go.
Ultima Charge serves as your strongest attack though the other Mog Knight
skills can be useful however instead while waiting for MP to build up you
have Smile Toss... the move mentioned on every single moogle build I've made
thus far!
Smile Toss that Ranger and force him to give you an Ether already and prepare
to have your Moogle pass divine judgment on your weak and pitiful foes!
Naturally its outclassed since it lacks anyway to reduce that MP cost but
when paired up with a Ranger its a force to be considered. Smile Toss plus
offensive capabilies is pretty darn good.
If you have an elemental sword though you've just made your Moogle better!
Geomancy + elemental Ultima Charge is stupidly powerful. However Hume Hunters
share that fame too plus they can attack from a distance and their elemental
bows are their best weapons whilst the moogle's elementals are his most basic.
--I'll show Illua that I'm good at manipulating time too, kupo!
- Mog Knight command
- Time Magick
- MP Shield
- Concentrate/Geomancy
Pros
+ Ultima Charge
+ Good stats for a moogle
+ Haste is always useful
+ Decent equips
Cons
- Outclassed by other melee attackers
Same as above only you trade smile toss in favour of Haste and Quicken.
Haste allows your beefy Paladin or Ravager to speed past the moogle and show
him how REAL MEN/WOMEN get the job done.
You can also Quicken that Ranger to ether you so you can blast them away
with the mighty Ultima Charge.
Personally I would rather go with Smile Toss but its your choice.
Juggler
~~~~~~~~~
--Support
- Juggler command
- Time Magick
- MP Shield
- Concentrate/Geomancy
Pros
+ Smile Toss
+ Fast
+ Haste
Cons
- Needs MP in order to do something other than Smile Toss
- Low damage
- Comments -
Haste allies, Smile Toss allies, inflict status.
So why Geomancy? Simple. It turns Molokov Cocktail into a poweful attack
if your moogle needs to fight. Won't be much in the damage department but
at least it gets the job done. Watch out for Berserk though.
Chocobo Knight
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--Support
- Chococraft
- Stunt (Or whatever the juggle command is called)
- MP Shield
- Concentrate
Pros
+ High movement
+ Very fast
+ Can restore MP (If White)
+ Smile Toss
Cons
- Frail
- Weak attacks
- You lose the chocobo you're riding on if it gets killed
- Bad stat growth
- Weak to water attacks
- Weak to thunder attacks
- Weak to holy attacks
- Limited abilities
- Comments -
Flaws aside this is a great support unit for Smile Toss alone. Don't expect it
to actually do any form damage. Just have stay in the back throwing various
things and restoring MP or HP.
Assassin
~~~~~~~~~~
--Ultima Spammer
- Assassination
- Sharpshooting
- Reflex/Avoid Magick
- Blood Price/Concentrate
Pros
+ High damage
+ Ranged attack
+ Very fast
Cons
- Blood Price uses up HP
- Strongest great bows just HAD to be Holy and Dark =(
- Comments -
First Viera build on the guide. Spam Ultima Masher and watch as you OHKO almost
anything and everything.
If you don't like using up your HP concentrate works too since you can always
use Doubleshot until you have enough MP.
This combo works like wonders with Marksman's Spite too. Bear in mind that its
accuracy is considerbly worse than in FFTA1.
--FFTA1 Assassin
- Assassination
- Green Magick
- Reflex/Avoid Magic
- Concentrate/Blood Price
Pros
+ High accuracy
+ Last Breath works on almost everything
+ Can inflict various debuffs
+ Ultima Masher works on stuff that Last Breath doesn't
Cons
- Much better options for a Viera unit
- Last Breath can still miss often
- Comments -
Closest thing you'll get to good ol' concentrated Last Breath. Anyway, cast
Tranq and procede to cripple the enemy team with OHKOs and various debuffs.
Its a good set but IMO, its outclassed by other Viera sets.
--Debuffer
- Assassination (I never get bored of typing this >_>)
- Spellblade/Elementalist Commands
- Reflex/Avoid Magick
- Blood Price/Concentrate
Pros
+ Can inflict status
+ Ultima Masher does a lot of damage
Cons
- Accuracy is bad for Assassination commands
- Comments -
Use Spellblade if you're going with bows, elementalist for katanas. Anyway run
around inflicting status and use Ultima Masher when needed.
Actually you may as well stick with Masher anyway. Pretty much the same as the
first set only you trade Doubleshot and Marksman's Spite in favor of various
debuff skills.
Summoner
~~~~~~~~~~
--The most overused and overpowered Viera set
- Summon Magick
- Red Magick
- Reflex/Avoid Magick
- Blood Price
Pros
+ Doublecast
+ Phoenix
+ Fast for a mage
Cons
- Frail
- Comments -
The most powerful magic user in the game. Doublecasting summons is ridiculous.
With the new improved Phoenix summon you'll never need a White Mage. Doublecast
also removes that HP loss from Blood Price too by just casting a healing spell
on yourself whenever you're using an attack spell.
Ranger
~~~~~~~~
--Mirror Item
- Survivalism
- Item
- Critical: Vanish/Dragonheart
- Item Lore
Pros
+ Mirror Item
+ Surprisingly fast
+ Mirror Item
+ Improved item effects
+ Mirror Item
+ Becomes immune to attacks when low on health
+ Mirror Item
+ Inflict status
+ Mirror Item
Cons
- Outside of bow attacks, no ranged attacks
- Traps are gimmicky and mostly useless
- Not very Gil friendly
- YOUR RANGER WILL NEVER LOOK AS AWESOME AS THE BONGA BUGLE HEAD EDITOR
- Comments -
Mirror Item is broken. Anyway its obvious what to do here, run around dropping
Mirrored X-Potions and Elixers. If the enemy is undead, use normal X-Potions
and Elixers (Duh) and finish off the tombstone with a Phoenix Down (NORMAL).
You can also drop Reversed Curatives like Holy Water, and Antidote as well.
Don't expect much else from it outside Mirror Item. Yeah, its pretty boring to
use but its very effective.
--Mirror Item: Take 2
- Survivalism
- Astutia
- Critical: Vanish/Dragonheart
- Item Lore
Pros
+ Mirror Item x10000
+ Surprisingly fast
+ Improved item effects
+ Becomes immune to attacks when low on health
+ Inflict status
+ Razzle-Dazzle
Cons
- Outside of bow attacks, no ranged attacks
- Traps are gimmicky and mostly useless
- Not very Gil friendly
- YOUR RANGER WILL NEVER LOOK AS AWESOME AS THE BONGA BUGLE HEAD EDITOR
- Comments -
Here you're trading improved healing potions in favor of Razzle-Dazzle. An
amazing move for attack and recovery purposes when low on health. Whilst
it will keep the Ranger alive it won't keep the team alive so the above
set is perferred.
Hunter (Gria)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--Sneak Attack and Sidewinder
- Trapping
- Feralism
- Reflex/Rengerate
- Attack UP/Unscarred
Pros
+ Can fly
+ Great ranged attacks
+ Sidewinder
+ Fast
Cons
- Frail
- Average stat growth
- Comments -
As I said earlier, Sneak Attacking Gria rival those Doubleshooting Snipers for
the best ranged attack. Grias get both Ultima Shot and Sneak Attack, two really
powerful options. Ultima Shot should only be used when the Gria is unable to
shoot anyones back though. And Sidewinder should be used instead when fighting
monsters.
--Debuffer
- Trapping
- Devastation
- Reflex/Rengerate
- Attack UP/Unscarred
Pros
+ Can fly
+ Great ranged attacks
+ Sidewinder
+ Fast
+ Can damage MP
+ can lower stats
Cons
- Frail
- Average stat growth
- Not very powerful compared to the above set
- Not really much different from a Hume Hunter
- Comments -
In a lot of cases this set is better save for only one problem. It has to rely
on Ultima Shot for non-monster damage. Otherwise it's great.
Raptor
~~~~~~~~
--All-Purpose Attacker
- Devastation
- Feralism
- Bonecrusher/Reflex/Strike Back
- Attack UP/Defense UP/Unscarred
Pros
+ High attack
+ Fast
+ Can lower stats
+ Can damage MP
+ Can fly
Cons
- Gets ganged up on by enemies very often
- Ranged attacks are weak
- Equip options aren't as good as the Ravager version
- Comments -
Exactly the same as the Ravager build I wrote earlier only you look better but
have inferior equip options. Just look at the Ravager section if you want
comments.
--Magic Knight
- Devastation
- Geomancy
- Bonecrusher/Reflex/Strike Back
- Defense UP/Unscarred
Pros
+ Good damage
+ Can do both physical and magical damage
+ Varied ranged attacks
+ Can fly
+ Can damage MP
Cons
- Gets ganged up on by enemies very often
- Comments -
Capable of using both magic and physical attacks. Its pretty powerful but won't
be doing as much damage as the other Grias with their Sneak Attacks.
Ravager
~~~~~~~~~
--Powehouse
- Feralism
- Devastation
- Bonecrusher/Reflex/Strike Back
- Attack UP/Defense UP/Unscarred
Pros
+ High damage easily reaching even up to 999
+ Fast
+ Can lower stats
+ Can damage MP
+ Great equips
+ Can fly
Cons
- Gets ganged up on by enemies very often
- Ranged attacks are weak
- Comments -
The ultimate close range fighting Gria. There's no set better for close range
fighting than this one. Sneak Attack is your main form of offense here, whilst
the Raptor's Breaks are to help cripple the enemy. Her ranged attacks are
really weak though so give her a Ninja Tabi.
Unscarred is recommended due to the high boosts. Ravagers do get damaged easily
up close though so Attack UP and Defense UP are worth considering.

Accquiring Adelle's Skills
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The Heritor class' weapons can actually only be accquired from quests. Here's
the rundown. These also the best of their kind too, so even you're not using
Adelle you should get these >_>
--Tiptaptwo
After unlocking the Heritor class read the notice "A Lost Friend" and head to
the Rupie Mountains. Defeat the (Really easy) boss and you'll get this weapon.
--Whale Whisker
Master Viola and then read the notice "Send Help!". Head to Zeldei Forest and
you'll get this weapon. You'll need a potion of any kind however in order for
the event to appear.
--Ayvuir Blue
Master Wermut and then read the notice "Screaming Beauty". Head to Morrabella
and defeat the boss.
--Nagrarok
Master (You guessed it!) Ldja and then read the notice "The Beast of
Aisenfield". Head to Aisenfield (Didn't see that coming!) and defeat the
boss.
--Hyakushiki-masamune
You know the drill. Master Nesiaam and read "The Shrine of the Paling Gods".
Win the battle and you'll get the weapon with the longest name ever.
Oh the battle is in the Fens by the way.
--Chirijaden
Master Elpe. Read new notice. Go to Goug. Beat the really annoying boss.
--Adelaide Skill
After you master Elpe read the new notice and head to Neslowe. You'll need
to defeat all the enemies in order to open the treasure chest and finish the
battle.
Adelle will automatically master it after you win the battle.
