== Kain Highwind ==

 

 

 

 

 

=== General Tropes ===

** [[Badass Baritone]]: You'd better believe it.

** [[Badass Boast]]: Though not as much as much as Jecht, Kain makes it clear you will not win when you face him.

"I walk the path of trials." }}

'''Kain''': "Of course not. I offer ''yours''." }}

 

'''Kain''': "Truly. Then let us make this quick." }}

** [[Badass Cape]]: His Hooded Man outfit.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: The new heroes sacrificed themselves to seal the manikins away in the void in a [[Bolivian Army Ending]].

 

* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]

** {{spoiler|He's also this (or [[The Dragon]]) to Golbez, working alongside him to ensure the heroes survive to the next cycle.}}

** He also gets bonus points for ''literally'' being a lancer... as in fighting with a lance.

* [[Large Ham]]: He shares Cecil's habit of over the top battle cries.

** [[Purple Prose]]

* [[Name of Cain]]

** [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]: Seemingly

* [[The Southpaw]]: Kain's a lefty.

 

=== Design and Costume Tropes ===

* [[Badass Cape]]: In the Hooded Man costume.

* [[Cool Helmet]]: Dragon shaped with purple (Or red in his Dark Kain costume) hair-like tassels.

* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: His alternate costume is his [[Enemy Without|dark side]], giving him a forked spear and blue and red armor.

* [[Femme Fatalons]]: Kain sports a set of painted fingernails filed to a point.

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Hidden Eyes]]: Nomura was told that his EX Mode removes his helmet, so he drew Kain with his eyes in shadows normally.

** Ditto for his character model. His helmet leaves a shadow that completely obscures his eyes.

* [[In the Hood]]: His aptly named Hooded Man costume.

* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Lampshaded by Ultimecia after he rescues Tifa.

* [[Purple Eyes]]: Revealed whenever his helmet isn't on.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Wears purple armor with lipstick and nail polish, and a tiara-like headdress as his alternate outfit EX Modes. Seems this trope is just the fashion for men in Baron or something.

* [[Sculpted Physique]]

* [[Shoulders of Doom]]: More sedate than his ''FFIV'' fellows Cecil and Golbez, but still present.

 

=== Gameplay and Combat Tropes ===

* [[Air Jousting]]

* [[Blown Across the Room]]: Gungnir, Rising Drive, and Sky Rave, granted there's enough room, will drive the opponent back, up, and down. Unless you happen to be on a particularly large arena like The Rift or Dream's End, they ''will'' hit a wall, they get knocked back that far.

* [[Blow You Away]]: Cyclone

** [[Awesome Yet Practical]]: Once you ''do'' get the hang of him, he's incredibly powerful. His HP attacks hit over a variety of altitudes and close to mid ranges horizontally, Gungnir, Sky Rave, and Rising Drive do massive Bravery damage, and Jump executes quickly and lets him dodge attacks.

* [[Super Mode|EX Mode]]: '''[[Prestige Class|Holy]] [[Good Costume Switch|Strength]]!'''

*** '''Lancet''', the trademark ability of Dragoons that [[Life Drain|absorbs HP]] from enemies.

** Holy Dragoon also gives him access to him [[Limit Break|EX Burst]]: '''Dragoon's Pride:'''

* [[Goomba Stomp]]

* [[In a Single Bound]]/[[Jump Physics]]: His specialty.

* [[Life Drain]]: Lancet.

* [[Mythology Gag]]: Two of his attacks, Spiral Blow and Sky Grinder, are his [[Combination Attack|Band attacks]] from ''The After Years'' performed with {{spoiler|Golbez}} and Cecil, respectively.

 

== Gilgamesh ==

 

 

 

 

=== General Tropes ===

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: '''[[Visual Pun|Literally:]]''' Upon entering his [[Limit Break|EX Burst]], Gilgamesh ''crashes against the screen!!''

* [[Collector of the Strange]]: His summon profile in the original game says that "he fancies himself a seeker of rare blades."

* {{spoiler|[[Daydream Surprise]]: In Report 19, Gilgamesh thinks how his duel with Bartz should turn out.}}

* [[Efficient Displacement]]: Leaves a Gilgamesh-shaped hole when he [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|crashes through the screen]] at the beginning of his EX Burst.

* [[Epic Fail]]: The Excalipoor EX Burst.

* [[Kabuki Sounds]]: Complete with the poses.

* [[Large Ham]]: He shouts "[[Incoming Ham|HERE I AM!]]" to call out an attack.

** Also applies to the English version; for whatever reason, his VA for ''XII'' ([[John Dimaggio]]) didn't reprise the role, so Gilgamesh is instead voiced by Keith Szarabajka.

* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: And you know where [[Kazuya Nakai|his new seiyuu]] and [[Soichiro Hoshi|Bartz' seiyuu]] worked together as main rivals? [[Sengoku Basara|Where GUNZ were put on (Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura)]].

* [[The Unintelligible]]: With the music and attack sounds playing over them, a lot of his attack calls can be hard to decipher.

* [[Unknown Rival]]: He has dedicated himself to escaping the Rift so that he can challenge Bartz to a rematch. Bartz's reaction? "Who are you?". Justified in that, for the most part, few people in ''Dissidia'' retain memories of their world, so Bartz really CAN'T remember him.

* [[Walking the Earth]] [[Multiverse]]: Why he was expected to appear in a crossover with several other ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' characters.

*** Lampshaded in a cutscene where Vaan, Zidane, and Squall (the ones who have met him outside remakes) encounter him but because of purifications do not remember who he is.

* [[We Meet Again]]: Too bad no one seems to remember him.

* [[Confusion Fu]]: As Gilgamesh fights, he uses a random weapon for each attack, with effects ranging from generating more EX Force when he hits, to possibly instantly breaking the opponent, to doing twice as much damage, to only dealing one damage per hit.

* [[Death From Above]]: Jump

** And in his EX-mode, he can ''octo-wield''!

*** '''[[Multi Wielding|Octo Break:]]''' As Gilgamesh enters his EX Mode, he takes up a weapon for each of his eight hands, until the end of the EX-mode. He will either wield eight of the same weapon, four different weapons each with one duplicate, two different weapons each with three duplicates, one of every weapon or even some other combination; because of how random Gilgamesh's EX Mode actually is, there's roughly 16,777,216 different ways his EX Mode can turn out. In addition to extra hits for all physical attacks, this means that during his EX Mode, his abilities are far more reliable than usual, and can therefore be planned around. However, there's the very real chance that he'll end up wielding multiple [[Joke Weapon|Excalipoors]], in which case you'll want to exit EX mode ''fast''.<br />While he is enjoying this benefit, HP attacks not reliant on swords are also improved. His [[Rocket Punch]] shoots eight fists instead of two and the Missile spell fires two missiles.

*** [[Cherry Tapping|Pick Excalipoor, and every hit deals 1 damage]]. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Gilgamesh realizes this by the end of the move; finishing it by throwing the sword away and lamenting his bad luck. The sword lands in the opponent's head to deal the HP damage.]]

*** This is made somewhat more awesome as a clever [[Mythology Gag]]; in Final Fantasy V, the Excalipoor always dealt 1 damage, unless two things were done; the first is by [[Crazy Enough to Work|punching someone while holding the sword]], and the other is by using [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works|!Throw from Ninja]].

* [[Hammerspace]]: Whips out a rather large missile from nowhere for his Missile attack.

* [[Multi Melee Master]]: Wields eight weapons:

** [[An Axe to Grind]]: Battle Axe

** [[Cool Sword]]: Zantetsuken and the Genji Blade

** [[Joke Item]]: Excalipoor.

** [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Masamune

** [[Knife Nut]]: The Chicken Knife.

* [[Razor Wind]]

* [[Rocket Punch]]: One of his [[Mega Manning|Blue Magic]] spells.

* [[Spin Attack]]: Whirlwind Slash and Hurricane

* [[Spirited Competitor]]: It's his trademark, and this time is no different, with a few of his victory/defeat quotes centering on the concept of looking for a [[Worthy Opponent]]. And of course he's always trying to find [[The Rival|Bartz]].

 

== Tifa Lockhart ==

 

 

 

 

The third confirmed character for ''Dissidia 012 Duodecim''. Cloud's childhood friend and love interest. She's suffering from amnesia in this game, and does not recognize either Cloud or Sephiroth.

=== General Tropes ===

* [[Badass Damsel]]: She gets rescued by Cloud from Sephiroth and by Kain from Ultimecia.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: The new heroes sacrificed themselves to seal the manikins away in the void in a [[Bolivian Army Ending]].

* [[Male Gaze]]: Very noticeable in the opening FMV.

* [[Mythology Gag]]: After Cloud rescues Tifa from Sephiroth, Tifa comments that Cloud was "like a hero, charging in to save the girl," similar to [[I Will Protect Her|his]] [[The Promise|promise]] to her from their original game.

* [[Turn the Other Cheek]]: While Tifa is uncertain whether Kain's decision to {{spoiler|kill their friends to save them from the manikins}} is right or not, she knows Kain believes what he's doing is right and decides to follow him and keep fighting anyway.

 

* [[Muscles Are Meaningless]]

* [[Panty Shot]]: Although it occurs far less than one might expect, given the shortness of her skirt.

* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]: Her third bonus alt.

* [[She's Got Legs]]

* [[Stripperiffic]]: If her normal costume doesn't cut it, her [http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/0/05/7_Tifa_(Amano).png DLC version] certainly does, it even somehow gives her an [[Sexy Backless Outfit|exposed back]]!

 

=== Gameplay and Combat Tropes ===

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Air Jousting]]

** [[Power Fist]]

* [[Betting Minigame]]: Tifa's EX Burst uses the Slot mechanic of her [[Limit Break]]. Fortunately, it's not completely up to chance, and once you get the rhythm of the button presses down, getting a Perfect isn't too difficult.

* [[Boobs of Steel]]: It's ''Tifa''. There would be riots in the streets if they had her any other way.

** Tifa switches out her Leather Gloves for her ultimate knuckle duster Premium Heart. In addition to Regen, Tifa's EX Mode gives her the following ability:

*** '''Premium Heart:''' which increases Tifa's attack power the more EX Force she has.

** Equipped Premium Heart also gives her access to her [[Limit Break|EX Burst]]: '''Final Heaven'''

** Tifa [[Charged Attack|charges herself]] and a [[Betting Minigame|slot machine reel]] appears, and you must try to get Yeah! on every one of her Slots. She then [[Flash Step|charges the enemy]] [[Death in All Directions|from all angles]] with a powerful barrage of bare-fisted attacks, and finally, charging energy into her fist, she charges through the enemy with an [[Megaton Punch|incredible punch]], creating an [[Delayed Explosion|explosive pillar of flames]] behind her.

* [[Flash Step]]: Her fighting style lets her cancel attacks and quickly slip around to attack the opponent from another angle.

* [[Kung Fu Wizard]]: Though she's primarily a melee fighter, she's got her spells too, and unlike Cloud, she can use them in the air as well as on the ground.

* [[She Fu]]

** [[Waif Fu]]

 

== Laguna Loire ==

 

 

 

A [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|spirited man]] who uses [[Multi Ranged Master|various]] [[The Gunslinger|guns]] to fight. [[Big Brother Mentor|With his cheerful personality, he casually mediates the other warriors]].

* [[Badass]]

** [[Adaptational Badass]]: YMMV on how badass Laguna was in ''Final Fantasy VIII''. Here, there's no question at all.

** [[Badass Normal]]: While every other character in the game has at least some basic magical skills, Laguna uses no spells or equivalent supernatural powers at all, instead relying on his assorted firearms.

* [[Bumbling Dad]] [[Team Dad]]: Laguna looks after the younger heroes in his own strange way, even calling himself Uncle Laguna in front of them.

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]

* [[The Ditz]]

* [[The Heart]]

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: The new heroes sacrificed themselves to seal the manikins away in the void in a [[Bolivian Army Ending]].

** "It's not that I have a bad sense of direction. I'm just interested in all directions."

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: At first, his encounter with the Cloud of Darkness makes him look like a complete idiot, but Laguna was able to get some pretty vital information about the manikins, without breaking character as the team goofball at that.

* [[Punny Name]]: The first part of "Ragnarok" is pronounced the same way as Laguna in Japanese (''Raguna-roku'').

* [[The Smart Guy]]: Yes, while being an [[Idiot Hero]]. Despite being a klutz and a bit of a loon, Laguna is the most intellectual of the new heroes, bringing a map with him (even if he misreads it) and finding out the location of the Manikins and leading the group to them. He also far and away has the most strategic fighting style among them.

* [[The Unexpected]]: Most people were expecting [[Love Interests|Rinoa]] or [[The Rival|Seifer]] to be the new representative. Laguna was considered an outside chance, especially compared to the likes of [[Love Interests|Tifa]] and [[The Rival|Kain]].

 

* [[Bishonen]]

** [[Badass Long Hair]]

* [[Bling Bling Bang]]: His EX Mode makes him ''[[James Bond|The Man With The Golden (Machine) Gun]]''.

* [[Fingerless Gloves]]

* [[Green Eyes]]

 

=== Gameplay and Combat Tropes ===

* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: Unlike the rest of the hero characters who have simpler fighting styles, Laguna is a more tactical fighter, like [[Trap Master|The Emperor]] or [[Confusion Fu|Kefka]].

* [[Super Mode|EX Mode]]: '''[[Cloudcuckoolander|Look, the Faeries are here]]!'''

** Laguna is empowered by the presence of a mysterious force and casts [[Battle Aura|Aura]] on his weapons, giving them a golden sheen befitting of the [[Our Presidents Are Different|President of Esthar]]. In addition to Regen, Laguna's EX Mode gives him the following ability:

*** '''[[Lag Cancel|Faeries' Miracle]]''': Which lets Laguna skip the lag at the end of his Bravery Attacks by [[Bullet Hell|performing any attack]].

** Look, the Faeries are here! also gives him access to his [[Limit Break|EX Burst]]: '''Desperado'''

* [[The Gunslinger]]: [[Exaggerated Trope|Now with more guns then ever!]]

** [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: One of his attacks is to fire rockets that fly forward for a bit, then turn and begin tracking the opponent.

** [[More Dakka]]: He is ''[[Crowning Music of Awesome|The Man With The Machine Gun]]'', after all. His EX Burst deals ''the'' most hits of any attack in the entire game, hitting almost 60 times! In second place is his Machine Gun, hitting just over thirty times, [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|about the size of a magazine in a real-life SMG like his]].

** [[Recursive Ammo]]: His [[Charged Attack|charged]] Ricochet Shot Bravery Attack and Split Laser HP Attack.

** [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: He's bringing different grenades, a bazooka, and rocket launcher with him this time.

** [[Sniper Rifle]]: He's toting the same one Irvine used during their attempt to assassinate Edea; this also makes him a [[Friendly Sniper]].

** [[Wave Motion Gun]]: His Ragnarok Cannon.

* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]

 

== Yuna ==

 

 

 

A female summoner who openly accepts her destiny and keeps on fighting bravely [[Summon Magic|alongside her Aeons]].

* [[Silk Hiding Steel]]

* [[The Smart Guy]]: Shares the role with Laguna.

* [[She's Got Legs]]: In her Gunner costume.

* [[Showgirl Skirt]]: Her Gunner dressphere.

* [[Woman in White]]: In her wedding dress.

 

* [[Calling Your Attacks|Calling Your Summons]]

* [[Super Mode|EX Mode]]: '''[[To Be a Master|Grand Summon!]]'''

** Yuna is surrounded by a blue glow of pyreflies. In addition to Regen, Yuna's EX Mode gives her the following ability:

*** '''Double Summon''': Which allows Yuna to summon two Aeons at once.

** Grand Summon also gives her access to her [[Limit Break|EX Burst]]: '''To the Farplane!'''

* [[Instant Runes]]

* [[Magic Wand]]/[[Simple Staff]]

* [[Magic Dance]]: Uses her Sending Dance as her EX Burst.

** [[Boring but Practical]]: However, she has some of the best anit-A.I. moves (especially against the final boss), and her moves, though lacking in damage, are straightforward and versatile. Falls just short of being a [[Skill Gate Character]], though.

* [[Squishy Wizard]]

* [[Summon Magic]]: She's bringing her Aeons into battle with her, including:

 

 

== Prishe ==

 

 

 

 

=== General Tropes ===

* [[Breakout Character]]: As with Shantotto, she's received much wider exposure due to her appearance in this game and her popularity has increased accordingly.

* [[Death Seeker]]: Her status as such in ''Final Fantasy XI'' is referenced by the intro quotes for both Chaos and her [[Mirror Match]].

'''Prishe:''' "Have I been looking for the end all along?" }}

* [[Genki Girl]]

* [[Gratuitous German]]: Her exclusive weapons include the Koenig Knuckles and the Glantzfaust.

* [[Sir Swearsalot|Madam Swearsalot]]: Has a very foul mouth in comparison to the rest of the cast, and uses mild language frequently. The two that will likely pop up most often are her Assist call ("It's about damn time!") and her defeat quote ("Aw ''heeeeeeell!''")

* [[Only One Name]]

* [[Our Elves Are Different]]

* [[Secret Character]]: She has to be purchased with PP first, and the ablity to purchase her has to be unlocked.

* [[Spirited Competitor]]: Has shades.

"It's playtime with Prishe!" }}

* [[Tomboy]]

* [[What Could Have Been]]: She was originally planned to be in the first game.

** answered in the Official Quests [[No Export for You|released only in Japan.]] {{spoiler|Prishe vanishes when Garland kills Cosmos in an earlier cycle.}}

** Two-Hour Ability also gives her access to her [[Limit Break|EX Burst]]: '''The Five Lights'''

* [[Invulnerable Knuckles]]: Several of her Bravery attacks have such high priority that she can stagger HP attacks!

* [[Kung Fu Wizard]]: She's a White Mage/Monk hybrid character.

* [[Megaton Punch]]: Howling Fist, which can be charged up like a wind-up punch.

* [[Punched Across the Room]]: Half of her combo finishers have Wall Rush properties. The other half initiate Chase.

* [[Shoryuken]]: Her other signature move, Auroral Uppercut.

* [[Spin Attack]]: The appropriately-named Spinning Attack.

 

== Vaan ==

 

 

 

 

A cheerful youth who skillfully uses a [[Multi Melee Master|variety of]] [[Multi Ranged Master|weapons]] in battle. Confident in his skills, he [[Fearless Fool|fearlessly enters any fierce battle]].

 

 

=== General Tropes ===

* [[I Will Protect Her]]: Toward Terra.

* [[Lovable Rogue]]

* [[Only One Name]]

* [[The Other Darrin]]: Kouhei Takeda, his VA in all his other voiced appearances, was planned to return but had scheduling conflicts, so he was replaced by Kensho Ono.

* [[The Promise]]: Vaan promises Terra that he'll find her before the fight against Chaos.

* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: With [[Yuri Lowenthal|Cecil]], who voiced his older brother Reks. Subverted in the fact that Vaan never actually meets up with Cecil in the story.

* [[Sky Pirate]]

* [[Street Urchin]]

=== Design and Costume Tropes ===

* [[Badass Longcoat]]: In his DLC costume.

* [[Blue Eyes]]/[[Gray Eyes]]: It can be hard to tell.

** [[Take a Third Option|Indigo Eyes?]]

* [[Cool Airship]]: Vaan wears an ornament resembling his airship the Galbana in his 3P costume.

* [[Fingerless Gloves]]

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Nice Hat]]: His DLC costume gives him a very nice pirate hat.

* [[Pirate]]: [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/File:Pirates_Vaan.png DLC outfit].

* [[Tattooed Crook]]: His 2P costume has a tattoo on the left shoulder.

* [[Tragic Keepsake]]: His pendant, which belonged to his dead older brother.

** [[Blow You Away]]: [[Shoryuken|White Whorl]] and [[Do Not Touch the Funnel Cloud|Windburst]].

** [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: His Cataclysm HP Attack.

** [[Making a Splash]]: His Torrent HP Attack.

** Vaan gains a golden aura of Mist energy and exchanges all of his weapons for their ultimate counterparts, symbolizing he's completed the License Grid and has earned the ability to equip them. In addition to Regen, Vaan's EX Mode gives him the following abilities:

*** '''[[Western Zodiac|Zodiak]]''': Which increases the power of all of Vaan's weapon attacks and gives his Switch Attacks more follow up hits.

*** '''Free Switch''': By pressin R+Square, Vaan is able to change his weapon instantly into bare hands, allowing him to pull off better switch attack combos.

** Obtained All Licenses also gives him access to his [[Limit Break|EX Burst]]: '''Quickening'''

* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: Played straight [[Walking Armory|unlike fellow weapon master Firion]].

* [[Instant Runes]]: Vaan's HP Attacks are the Concurrences that are cast after Quickenings, complete with giant magick circles.

* [[Multi Melee Master]]/[[Multi Ranged Master]]: Vaan is able to switch between weapon types for each of his attacks, and each weapon does bonus damage or has an additional effect if he's swapping out one weapon for another, encouraging player variation. Among the weapons he uses are:

** [[An Axe to Grind|Axes]]: A Handaxe for normal, [[Bling Bling Bang|Golden Axe]] for EX.

** [[Automatic Crossbow|Crossbows]]: The bowgun and the Gastrophetes for EX.

== Lightning ==

 

 

 

The former soldier does have a [[Hidden Heart of Gold|gentle heart]], [[Sugar and Ice Personality|though her harsh mannerism and speech can leave a cool impression.]]

 

 

=== General tropes ===

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Badass Boast]]: Against Kuja in her story.

'''Lightning''': "Oh, I'll show you how lightning strikes." }}

** Another when facing Warrior of Light.

'''Lightning''': "No thanks. It's not my bedtime." }}

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: "Who died and made you Primarch?"

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: The new heroes sacrificed themselves to seal the manikins away in the void in a [[Bolivian Army Ending]].

* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]: One of her win quotes.

* [[Lady of War]]: Graceful as ever.

* [[Petal Power]]: The [[Something About a Rose|rose]] petals that accompanied her and Odin are back. Lampshaded.

'''Lightning:''' "Enough small talk... Just keep your eyes front." }}

* [[Talking to Herself]]: Aerith and Lightning share the same JPN voice actor

* [[Victory Pose]]: At the end of her EX Burst.

* [[When She Smiles]]: {{spoiler|''Very'' briefly during the ending sequence of ''Duodecim''}}.

 

* [[Fingerless Gloves]]

* [[Flower Motifs]]: [[Something About a Rose|Roses]].

* [[Modesty Shorts]]

* [[Nice Hat]]/[[Commissar Cap]]: Her 3P Costume.

* [[She's Got Legs]]

 

=== Gameplay and Combat Tropes ===

** Blazefire Saber and Omega Weapon, her standard gunblades:

*** [[More Dakka]]: The gunblades turn into submachine guns after all.

*** [[Morph Weapon]]

** Zantetsuken, the sword of [[Norse Mythology|Odin]]:

*** [[Bifurcated Weapon]]

*** [[Double Weapon]]

*** [[Named Weapons]]

** [[Shock and Awe]]: Thunder, Thundaga, Thunderfall, Lightning Strike

** [[An Ice Person]]: Blizzara

** [[Making a Splash]]: Watera

** Lightning switches out her Blazefire Saber for her third tier gunblade Omega Weapon. In addition to Regen, Lightning's EX Mode gives her the following abilites

*** '''Omega Weapon:''' Which forces Break to opponents when hitting them with Brave attack while they are in critical BRV.

*** '''[[Artificial Gravity|Grav-Con Unit]]:''' Which nullifies wall rush damage dealt to Lightning.

** Omega Weapon also gives her access to her [[Limit Break|EX Burst]]: '''Gestalt Drive:'''

* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Her HP attacks are versatile across close and long-range, her gunblade blows are simple but effective, and her spells can stun or distract opponents. Her downside, similar to the other [[Jack of All Stats]], the Warrior of Light, is a limited pool of reliable attacks, combined with her Paradigm Shift only letting her use certain attacks at a time and telegraphing which she's preparing for.

* [[Magic Knight]]

* [[The Musketeer]]

* [[Stance System|Paradigm System]]: She can switch between her three characteristic styles for different Brave Attacks.

** [[The Medic|Medic]]: Uses [[White Magic|healing magic]] to restore her Brave without attacking.

* [[Razor Wind]]: The aptly named Razor Gale HP attack.
