Hope's combat role is Physical/Magic Hybrid.
 * Assessment

Though listed as a fighter-mage, Hope's stat growth favors attack magic more than physical might. In fact, he's a direct complement to Vanille from the same Record Realm, who favors healing magic. Like Vanille, Hope can function as a mid-ranked Summoner. Using him as a Black Mage, however, should suffice for most players.


 * Stats

Hope can use Black Magic spells up to rarity rank 5, White Magic spells up to rarity rank 4, and Summoning spells up to rarity rank 5.
 * Abilities

His default Soul Break is Fearsiphon, which at the expense of one Soul Gauge segment deals damage to the enemy and grants Haste to the user. The thrown Skycutter (XIII) allows Hope to use Brutal Sanction, which at the expense of one Soul Gauge segment deals non-elemental magic damage to three random targets, each hit dealing 350% damage potency of a conventional magic attack totaling to 1050% damage potency, and inflicts Stop with 50% accuracy for 6 seconds. The thrown Airwing (XIII) allows Hope to use Earthquake, which at the expense of one Soul Gauge segment deals magic earth damage to all targets equal to 855% damage potency of a conventional magic attack and reduce their Attack by 50% for 25 seconds.

Hope can equip the following weapon types: daggers, rods, staves, and thrown. The thrown Skycutter (XIII) and Airwing (XIII) allows Hope to use Brutal Sanction and Earthquake respectively.
