Vocations: Difference between revisions

The Warrior is one of the six starting vocations. They can use Swords, Greatswords, Axes, Fisticuffs and Shields. With their high HP, Defense and Weight stats, their job is to push monsters away from more frail party members, even if it means they take damage in the process. Their vocation skill tree, Courage, focuses on increasing HP, Attack, and Defence, and has abilities focusing around dealing moderate damage whilst debuffing the target. Axes are the recommended weapon choice, thanks to their abilities which similarly debuff the target, as well as the ability to use a shield in conjunction with it, further increasing Defense.

The Priest is one of the six starting vocations. They can use Wands, Spears, StavesRods, Fisticuffs and Shields. With their high Magical Mending stats, and access to many healing spells, Priests are a support vocation who can heal and revive their allies, and can use defensive buffs like Kabuff and DedazzleInsulatle. Their vocation skill tree, Faith, provides passive buffs to MP and Magical Mending, and gives one access to abilities that prevent death and improve their Magical Mending. A Priest is best served by the Magical Mending and Defence bonuses of the Wand and Shield combo, whilst Staves and Spears only serve to increase the damage done by a vocation that, in all likelihood, will never attack.

The Mage is one of the six starting vocations. They can use Daggers, Whips, Heavy WandsStaves, Fisticuffs and Shields. Their high Magical Might stats and myriad of damaging spells make them highly specialisedspecialized for dealing Area of Effect Damage. Their paper-thin Defence and low HP makes them die quickly, so they should be well-guarded by a melee attacker. Their vocation skill tree, Spellcraft, gives passive bonuses to MP and Magical Might, as well as abilities that further improve Magical Might and reduce enemy’s resistance to spells. At 100 Skill Points and above, extra spells can be learnt. Mages also get unique spells when they put Skill Points into Daggers, which poison enemies to greatmassive effectdamage.

Spears are the recommended weapons for Martial Artists, as Spear skills mesh the best with heightened Tension.

The Thief is one of the six starting vocations. They can use Daggers, Whips, Claws, Hammers, Fisticuffs and Shields. They have the highest Deftness in the game, which allows critical hits to have high chance, and also serves to improve the chance of them successfully stealing items. Their vocation skill tree, Acquisitiveness, increases Deftness and Agility. It also grants the player access to skills relating to placing traps in battle and getting loot, either by stealing from enemies or by locating shining spots and treasure chest on the map. Since this vocation excels at disrupting & disabling monsters, buffing the party, and stealing from enemies with Half Inch, weapon type is truly player preference.

The Minstrel is one of the six starting vocations. They can use Fans, ClubsRods, Daggers, Boomerangs, Fisticuffs and Shields. Minstrels have a decent spread of stats, but their main power comes from their abilitiesskills. Between Hustle Dance, Sobering Slap and BattleRhythm Beat'n' Bruise, Minstrels are incredibly versatile supports with great healing, buffing and anti-statusailment power. Fans are the best choice for them, as Wind Slash Dance allows them to greatly buff Attack Power and Magical Might for all allies from the start of the battle. With Tap Dance and Flower Power, a Fan Minstrel can avoid a majority of incoming attacks, making their flimsier HP and Defence less important.

Gladiators,The basedBattlemaster in the Coliseum of Luckland, areis one of the six advanced vocations from Version 1. They can dual-wield Swords and Hammers, or use Greatswords or Fisticuffs. With their sky-high Strength, Gladiators are one of the current monarchs of the melee world. This comes at the cost of their Defense, making them most like the Martial Artist.

They have the highest DefenceDefense and Weight of any vocation in the game, making them the quintessential tankfront-liner. Their vocation tree, Virtue, gives them access to various defensive abilities, as well as increasing their Defence, HP and Magical Mending. They can access some healing spells, but this should really be left to dedicated supports. Thanks to Miracle Slash and Phoenix, which allow a Paladin to heal themselves whilst dealing damage, Swords are the best option for them. While Spears have the higher damage ceiling, the inability to use a shield with it seriously hampers them.

Armamentalists,The basedArmamentalist in Verinard Castle, areis one of the six advanced vocations from Version 1. They can use Swords, Bows, Wands, Heavy WandsStaves, Fisticuffs and Shields. While their stats are generally middling, their vocation skill tree, Fource, more than makes up for this. Fourceby allowsallowing the armamentalist to imbue their own and allies’ attacks with various elements. This, alongside their ability to share MP, makes Armamentalists great supports. Since they serve as MP batteries for their party in long endurance fights, Armamentalists should use Bows so that they can both deal decent damage when they’ve finished buffing and absorbprovide MPvarious via Hallowed Arrowsupport.
