Archers stand out of harm's way, raining arrows upon their foes from afar.

Description

Archer is a job to humes and viera in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift who deal long-range attacks via bows.

Profile

Archers are useful units that allow the player to inflict damage on the first turn. Their Focus ability prepares a powerful attack, while several other abilities inflict status effects upon enemies.

A useful ability against undead is Burial, which removes undead from battle and thereby prevents their resurrection.

By mastering three Archer A-abilities, humes can become Hunters, while viera can become Snipers with two Archer A-abilities.

Viera Archers are comparably better than hume Archers for their dominance in Attack, Magick and Speed growth.
