Overview[]
The dragonkin is a magick-based special job capable of dealing high elemental damage. Unique to the dragonkin is the ability to boost the performance of other dragon units in the party, as well taming dragon-type enemies, including hydras. It has the highest HP, MP, and magick growth among all jobs, as well as an excellent physical attack stat that surpasses even that of the sword saint's. Reis is the only playable dragonkin (should the player recruit her).
Holy Breath.
To maximize the dragonkin's damage output from its Dragon abilities, it is recommended to boost magickal attack as much as possible. The black mage's Magick Boost support ability increases magickal attack power by 33%. The Tynar Rouge (only available in The War of the Lions version) is the best accessory for the job, as not only it grants bonuses to both physical and magickal attack, but also bestows various passive effects, including boosting holy damage, which further enables the dragonkin's strongest ability: Holy Breath (which hits randomly but can often kill an enemy in a single). This also allows the dragonkin to equip White Magicks as a secondary job command to cast a stronger Holy while providing support to the party.
Given its high physical and magickal prowess, the dragonkin can make excellent use of of Geomancy, as its damage is calculated on both physical and magickal attack; Iaido is also a powerful and often better alternative, as it has a variety of offensive and defensive abilities. Due to having both exceptional magick power and speed, the dragonkin is the strongest user of the Arithmeticks skill, although this requires considerable investment on the player's part.
The dragonkin can also be used as a physical damage dealer, since it has access to innate Dual Wield. The player can equip the monk's Brawler to further boost its unarmed damage. Alternatively, the knight's Equip Swords allows the use of two Runeblades to boost dragonkin's already high magickal attack power.
Tame will also work if the first attack puts a monster in critical and the second KO'd it (including Counter), with the monster being recruitable if revived or the battle ends before being crystallized on its third turn. Enemies are also prone to target their former ally due to being in critical, so this newly found monster party may be an alternative to a shield. Dragon's Charm functions like a
The dragonkin is excellent for a monster-centered party, as it can enable the use of extra monster abilities thanks to its innate Beastmaster. This combined with Dragon's Gift, which increases various attributes of dragon-type allies, can make dragons and hydras deal devastating damage; tiamats in particular can use the unique Dark Whisper ability through Beastmaster, which deals dark-elemental damage up to six times in random tiles within the targeted area. In addition, the dragonkin also has innate Beast Tongue, allowing it to equip the orator's Speechcraft job command to manipulate the allied monster units' bravery and faith stats.
Much like other jobs, the dragonkin can become virtually unkillable with the Shirahadori reaction ability from samurai (which transfers well from Brawler since both need high bravery), although this will not protect it from magickal attacks.
The dragonkin's powerful abilities and impressive stat growth come at a price: it can equip only hair adornments and accessories; its inability to equip body equipment can be remedied by the knight's Equip Heavy Armor, which can supplement the dragonkin's already impressive HP. It also has low mobility, which can be augmented by equipping it accessories such as the Germinas boots, as well movement abilities, such as its own Movement +1, thief's Movement +2, or even the time mage's Teleport.
In Enhanced Mode of The Ivalice Chronicles version, Reis joins the party with a handful of abilities from dragoon learned, including Dragonheart, Horizontal Jump +7 and Vertical Jump +6. She also has the thief's Movement +2.
