Ravager (Final Fantasy XIII)

Ravager (aka "Blaster" in the Japanese version) is a Paradigm/Optima role in Final Fantasy XIII. This role's main function is to increase the foe's chain gauge so that damage inflicted to the foe is increased.

Computer-controlled Ravagers tend to attack the same target as the player. If the player controls a Ravager and there are computer controlled Commando(s), usually one Commando will attack the player's target.

Merely being in the Ravager role boost the person's chain gauge bonus. The benefits also extends to other party members to a lesser degree. The amount increased depends on the role level of the Ravager.

The command abilities of the Ravagers primarily consist of offensive elemental spells, granting them a stereotype of being Magical attackers, similar to Black Mages. Some Ravagers can also learn elemental Physical attacks, similar to a weaker version of Mystic Knight.
