Archer (job)

The Archer (弓使い Yumi Tsukai lit. Bow Bearer) is a job that appears in various games in the Final Fantasy series. Archers are mostly known for their ability to equip bows and arrows to attack. Archers have the ability to charge up their shots, allowing them to do more damage. However, this usually leaves an archer much more vulnerable.

Notable archers are Rosa Joanna Farrell from Final Fantasy IV and Fran from Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings.
