 * Assessment

Cid is yet another late-game acquisition whose path is long and difficult, but the journey is worth the pain. He is at his best with a spear, like all of the Dragoons before him or since. Given a spear from his native Realm, his attacks can be brutal, and often incorporate a buff or debuff to assist the party as well. His Speed lags behind fellow Dragoons Kain, Freya, Kimahri, and Fang; but his Defense more than makes up for it and gives the party another reliable tank with a good range of combat skills.


 * Stats

Cid can use Combat abilities up to rarity rank 4, Support abilities up to rarity rank 3, Celerity abilities up to rarity rank 3, and Dragoon abilities up to rarity rank 5.
 * Abilities

His default Soul Break is Boost Jump which at the expense of one Soul Gauge segment deals ranged damage to one target equal to 150% damage potency of a conventional attack. The spear Trident (VII) allows Cid to use Dynamite which at the expense of one Soul Gauge segment deals physical damage to all targets, temporarily lowering their Attack. The spear Pole Axe (VII) grants Cid the Hyper Jump, which for one Soul Gauge segment allows him to strike a single foe four times, then grants him Haste plus bonuses to Attack and Defense upon finishing the attack.
