I couldn't finish 'em. Looks like this's gonna get complicated.
The Ranger is a job in Final Fantasy Dimensions obtained in the second chapter of the World of Darkness, and is exclusive to the Warriors of Darkness.
Appearance[]
The party are dressed in the garbs of a hunter.
In the iOS and Android versions, the females are clad in cloaks instead of the clothes from the mobile version.
Overview[]
Rangers equip light armor emphasizing evasion. Much of their armor and headgear come with status-boosting bonuses, namely to strength, speed, and vitality. They have incredible damage potential on account of their high speed, whether it's using their own attacks to stun an enemy or quicken their next action, or simply by following up a teammate's attack with Backup. They have a wide range of equipment options that ignore row, boast bonus damage against certain type's, and deal elemental damage. As they level up, the Job has powerful support as well, including Alechmy and Recover, with the latter as an innate bonus. Upon mastery, however, they get Spreadshot. Outside Fusion Abilities, Spreadshot is the strongest attack in the game, comprising four attacks. As most Boss Battle's comprise only a single enemy, this attack hits that single foe four times. Levels in Ranger are highly desirable because of the Fusion Abilities they contribute towards. Smash is an early-game high-damage attack, Misty Charge is the sole ability the Warriors of Darkness get that can swap their row in battle, and Midareyuki can be as powerful as Phantom Rush and Final Heaven with proper support.
