Summoner (Stranger of Paradise)

Annihilate all with Bahamut's might!

Job Unlock

The Summoner is an Expert Job in Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin, available within the Season Pass after completing the Trials of the Dragon King and unlocking the "The Power of Summoning" conversation with Bahamut.

The Summoner is an aggressive hybrid melee/magic job capable destroying crowds of enemies and dealing heavy damage to bosses through the might of the Bahamut summon. This summon replaces Jack and his entire moveset with those of Bahamut from the boss fight within the Trials of the Dragon King mission, giving the player a large amount of attack range, durability, and destructive magic power through the Megaflare ability. To encourage an aggressive playstyle, the Summoner grants passives that increase the damage of abilities, decrease the damage taken while attacking, and increase the MP recovered through Soul Bursts to use even more abilities.

Gameplay[]

Job Action[]

The Summoner has access to the Summon ability, which summons the image of Bahamut onto the battlefield. While the Summon is active, it will continually spend the player's max MP bar until depletion, upon which Bahamut will be transformed back into Jack and will be vulnerable for a short moment. During the summon, the player can use Bahamut's moveset to assail foes and deliver great damage to enemies and even use Command Abilities and Soul Shielding as Jack would. The abilities are listed below (Note: These abilities are not available within the combo ability menu and thus cannot be altered):

Ability	MP Cost	Description
Megaflare	150	Fires off a blast of non-elemental energy at an enemy for moderate break damage.
Gigaflare	300	Fires off a large blast of nuclear energy at an enemy for moderate, leaving explosions afterward.
Exaflare	600	Fires off a massive blast of nuclear breath at your enemies for heavy break damage, leaving large explosions that engulf your enemies.

Equipment[]

Summoner makes use of swords, greatswords, maces, daggers, and staves, with the combo ability effects favoring each weapon respectively. In addition, while attacking as Bahamut, he will adapt to the attack speed, damage modifiers, and combo ability effects of your current weapon.

Stats[]

The job gives a stat bonus to all stats, giving the player more physical damage, magical damage, and break damage and greater physical defenses, and magical defenses, but poorer stat growth in Stamina and HP, impacting a Summoner's survivability.
