The '''[[Archer (Job)|Archer]]''' Job class is available to [[Human|humes]] and [[viera]] in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift]]''. Archers are well known for their long-range attacks via bow-wielding in combat. They are very useful units that allow you to inflict damage on the first turn. Their [[Focus (Ability)|Focus]] ability prepares a powerful attack, while several other abilities inflict status effects upon enemies.
