Character Specific Starter Jobs

Freelancer
Stat Distribution
HP 3, Att 5, Mag 1, Agi 3, MP 3, Def 4, Will 3
Skill Attack Types
Physical
This is Kasuga’s initial job. He hits extremely hard, and has a number of grappling attacks. He will stun with hisTenacious FistandHeadbutt Barrage,and has a number of attacks that will critical. Generally, this job is great for fighting single opponents, but a little less effective for fighting multiple foes.
Hero
HP 3, Att 3, Mag 3, Agi 3, MP 3, Def 3, Will 3
In regards to stat distribution, Kasuga’s Hero class is the most balanced job in the game. Kasuga has a number of attacks that are great for controlling crowds. HisTornado Lineris a fantastic tool for dealing hefty damage to a fairly large swathe of enemies, as is hisMega Swing. More than anything, though, Kasuga’s healing spells are surprisingly potent. Hero’s Healing will keep getting better as you improve Kasuga’s Kindness stat over the course of the game.Hero’s Healingstarts off as being a good healing spell, but by the time you max out Kasuga’s Kindness it will be among the best healing spells in the game.
Dragon Of Dojima
HP 5, Att 5, Mag 3, Agi 3, MP 1, Def 3, Will 2
Physical, Slash, Ranged,
While most starter jobs are pretty well-rounded, Kiryu’s is very much an offense-focused class. His big weakness is MP, but his staggeringly high HP and attack power really make up for it. As for his skills, Kiryu gets a pretty nice smorgasbord of skills that both deal damage, but also apply a buff to him or a debuff to his enemies.He can lower defense, cause bleeding, inflict rage, lower attack, raise his own attack, and stun enemies using his skills.
The attacks that stand out, however, would be hisEssence of Bowling, which hits a row of enemies and raises his attack, as well as hisEssence of the Dragon God, which is the most powerful ultimate attack in the game.
Detective
HP 5, Att 4, Mag 2, Agi 1, MP 2, Def 4, Will 3
Physical, Fire
Adachi’s Detective job is a strong physical fighter class. Unlike other classes, he isn’t well rounded at all, being slow, weak with magic, and having low MP. However, he does have absurd HP, high attack, and high defense to make up for those shortfalls. The Detective job features grappling attacks (such as theMonkey Toss), attacks that bypass an enemy’s guard (Heavy Beatdown), and even a skill that will automatically revive Adachi if he falls in battle (True Grit).
Heiress
HP 3, Att 3, Mag 3, Agi 4, MP 3, Def 2, Will 3
Physical, Slash
Chitose’s Heiress job isalmostas balanced as the Hero class; the only difference is she has above-average agility, and below-average defense. With her potent grappling moves and excellent healing spells, the Heiress class is an excellent addition to any team. HerAperitifshealing spell will recover a large amount of HP while also healing debuffs. Meanwhile, herTriple Corsageis a grappling move that will lower an enemy’s attack. Both of these are great skills!
Hitman
HP 2, Att 3, Mag 3, Agi 5, MP 4, Def 2, Will 2
Physical, Slash, Ranged, Electricity,
Stats wise, Joongi’s Hitman class is a touch underwhelming. He has decent, but not great, attack and magic, but his defense and willpower are both below average. The one thing he has going for him is speed. Thankfully, his incredibly versatile moveset helps make this class far more formidable. Joongi has skills that causebleeding, paralysis, sleep, silence, poison,andfear.It is an impressive toolkit!
Assassin
HP 3, Att 4, Mag 3, Agi 4, MP 2, Def 2, Will 3
Physical, Slash, Ranged, Magic Electric
Seonhee’s Assassin job comes toting a number of pretty positive traits. It has high attack power and high agility. It does have lower-than-average MP and defense, but her high agility offsets her defensive shortcomings. Seonhee will make frequent use of herVoltaic Whip, which can paralyze foes, and herGas Grenade, which can poison them. Both of these attacks are excellent for dealing with smaller groups of enemies. The Assassin job also has a great ultimate in theEssence of Wicked Web, which is a powerful attack that has high likelihood of paralyzing large groups of enemies.
Homeless
HP 2, Att 1, Mag 5, Agi 3, MP 4, Def 2, Will 4
Magic, Fire
While nearly every starter class is pretty balanced, Nanba’s Homeless job is skewed heavily toward magic. He has a wide range of powerful fire attacks, as well as excellent magic attacks.Pigeon Stormis an effective attack for hitting groups, whileSizzling Spitteris controllable, so you can focus on a single foe or attack multiple enemies with it. Nanba also comes with healing spells for both the group and for himself. HisPower Slumberwill fully heal Nanba and remove all damaging status ailments he currently has affecting him.
Cabbie
HP 2, Att 3, Mag 3, Agi 3, MP 5, Def 2, Will 2
Physical, Ranged, Magic, Electricity, Fire, Water
Tomizawa’s Cabbie job is one of the most vulnerable in the game. He has low HP, defense, and willpower. However, he also gets a ton of MP, and many excellent skills to use it. He has access to a spell of every element type. The standout attack here is hisScrubdownskill, which is a water attack, it is a grab, AND it will lower resistance to electricity. All for 20 MP! Similarly, he can lower fire resistance withOil and Toil. His ability to increase a foe’s weakness to elements while also dealing damage is extremely potent!
Barmaid
HP 2, Att 3, Mag 3, Agi 3, MP 5, Def 2, Will 3
Physical, Water
Saeko’s Barmaid job is another well-rounded class. She is a little weak to physical attacks, and has low HP, but her MP is sky-high. She has a mixture of physical attacks as well as water-based magic attacks. A big part of her game is to lower an enemy’s attack with herSly Pose, and landing criticals with herJewel BreakerandShop Dropper.She also has theEssence of Remotivation, which is one of the best revival spells in the game.
Gangster
Physical, Slashng, Magic, Fire
Zhao’s Gangster Job provides him with a balanced kit of slashing attacks and recovery spells. You will want to use hisDragon’s Ascensionto raise his attack alongside hisDragon’s Vortexto raise his defense. Both of these are attacks, so Zhao can buff his physical stats while dishing out damage.His Homecooked Dim Sum is also a pretty special healing spell as it will actually increase your resistance to status ailments while also healing!
N/A
HP 3, Att 1, Mag 5, Agi 3, MP 3, Def 3, Will 4
Physical, Slash, Fire
The Sujimancer job canonlybe used by Kasuga.
The Sujimon job is an extremely versatile magician class.They have access to all three element types, meaning they give Kasuga a versatile skill set to take advantage of any elemental weakness. Additionally, they have skills for putting enemies to sleep and poisoning them.To top it all off, the Sujimancer is able to heal!Though, if we are being honest, the Sujimancer’s heals aren’t the most potent. If you want Kasuga to walk the path of the magician, the Sujimancer truly is the way to go.

The chef is all about debuffing opponents with random ailments (it has multiple attacks that do this), setting them on fire, and making them bleed. This is a mixed class, featuring a fair number of magic attacks, as well as quite a few physical attacks.Its magic attacks, however, are exclusively fire-based.The chef also benefits from having a high attack and magic stat, though it comes with having below-average defense and willpower.
The Sashimi SliceandWound Openerare skills that play off of each other. The Sashimi Slice adds bleed, while the Wound Opener removes an enemy’s bleed in exchange for a large decrease to a stat. Both of these skills transfer over very nicely to the Samurai, which also utilizes the bleed effect.

Level 20+
HP 3, Att 3, Mag 3, Agi 5, MP 3, Def 2, Will 2
The Breaker attacks initially only target single foes, but the job does grow to include some AOE attacks once you hit level 15.The biggest benefit of this class is that it will boost the user’s stats with every attack.There isn’t really just one standout attack, but any number of them can pair well with other jobs, as they can give you a means for enhancing a job’s weaker stat.
