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. An Archer works best with a strong melee unit acting as a protective shield to stop incoming enemies. 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.
Abilities
Precision
The skills of the ARCHER do not call for brute force, but deadly accuracy to fell a foe.
