First of all, there's no “strongest job that is invincible to everything”; every job has its own characteristics, and by mastering the skills of a given job, you can win against even the strongest opponents.

Secondly, you can have up to two sets of skills: your current job's skills, and your previous job's skills. Because of this, there are endless possibilities; you can have a Mage who fights on the front lines, or a characters who can both attack and heal. You can find more information about this on the Alltrades Abbey page.

Jobs can be broadly classified into three types: vanguard, rearguard, and support.

Vanguard types such as Warriors have high base stats.

Their HP and defense are particularly high, so they have a good chance of surviving to the end of battles. Since they're always at the front of the party, they play very important roles in both tanking and attacking.

Rather than learning skills, their biggest advantage is having the physical strength to keep fighting until the end. Just having one of these in your party can be very reassuring.

Their weaknesses include low MP and slow skill acquisition.

• Their primary method of attack is brute force
• Regardless of what happens, they're likely to survive to the end of battles
• Great for solo players
• Suitable for party leaders

Rearguard types are the complete opposite of vanguard types, with low base stats and their main attacks being magic (such as with Mages).

Many spells can attack all enemies or deal damage regardless of an opponent's defense, so they can stand out more as attackers than vanguard types.

However, they're very vulnerable to attacks (low HP and defense), so they have a high chance of being killed before anyone else. They become the weakest players if they run out of MP or have their magic sealed.

It's only when combined with other jobs or they're supported by other players that they show their true potential.

• Wipe out enemies with a single attack
• Recklessly rushing is your style
• Works great in parties
• You want to stand out
• Suitable for those who want to lead from the rear

Support types can support allies through healing, and can weaken opponents with status ailments.

They don't stand out much compared to vanguard and rearguard types, but if they carefully assess the situation and use their skills at the right time, they can turn a critical situation around in one fell swoop.

They will also be the most unpleasant opponents in player verses player.

The effectiveness of your strategy will vary considerably depending on whether you have a support type in your party or not. The more people in your party and the more enemies you have, the more that support types will be able to demonstrate their power.

• Turn situations around
• Requires intelligence and strategy
• You love playing a support role
• Suitable for those who are always with friends

• Warrior
• Swordsman
