Juggler (Tactics Advance)

Festive moogle job. Attacks and entertains.

Description

Juggler is a job from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance available to moogles. Jugglers use special items against their foes, and almost all of them inflict a status ailment. Their Dagger ability inflicts the Disable status and damages the opponent, making the Juggler a good job for stalling. The ability Concentrate from the Gunner class improves the special stunts' hit rate.

Growth[]

The Juggler is a unique job; it has high Speed, the best Defense and acceptable Attack, but the rest of its stats are mediocre. Mog Knights have more balanced defenses and higher Attack, but lose out on the excellent Speed.

Overview[]

The Juggler is a great support job with high speed, good attack and defense. With the best knives, Jugglers can do decent damage. They have a selection of ranged abilities that inflict detrimental status effects at no MP cost. Smile, in particular, allows groups of Jugglers to become infinitely mobile "Smile Trains". Smile can provide a sudden turn to a usually slow ally. Overall, Jugglers have more than a few tricks up their sleeve, especially with the Animist Call abilities.

Despite their jolly appearance, enemy Jugglers are nothing to scoff at. Their high speed and status effects allow them to pick off units one by one. Since their abilities don't cost MP, Silence does not work. Possessing extraordinary defense, they can withstand a good amount of physical damage. Mages must approach with caution, as the Juggler's abilities can make mages suddenly useless. Disabling or stopping them may be wise to prevent them from messing up units with their own status effects.
