Etrian Odyssey

Hexcaster

Like the dark hunter, the hexcaster is adept at crippling enemies with status ailments, but the hexcaster has an even deadlier power over monsters. Once an opponent falls victim to a hexcaster’s Evil Eye curse, they cannot help but obey the hexcaster’s orders to destroy their comrades - or even themselves. In addition to the standard status ailments, a hexcaster can also weaken an enemy’s attack and defensive strength, as well as its speed.

Strengths
Can reduce an enemy’s power to nothing
Weaknesses
Low defence, few direct attack abilities

Etrian Odyssey

Alchemist

These accomplished magic-users can exploit an enemy’s elemental weaknesses to the fullest with their powerful magic formulas. In addition to their repertoire of Fire, Ice and Voltage spells, they can also poison enemies and have useful field skills, such as determining the location of powerful enemies and warping safely to a nearby Geomagnetic Field.

Strengths
Second-to-none elemental spells
Weaknesses
Low attack power, defence and Hit Points

Etrian Odyssey

Dark Hunter

Masters of inflicting status ailments, the dark hunters can bind their enemies before moving in for the kill. Their proficiency with whips allows them to totally immobilise an enemy before draining the last of its life, and when equipped with a sword, they can deliver pinpoint strikes to paralyse, confuse or petrify a monster. Even their own party members aren’t safe from their deadly games, since they can use their own comrades as bait for a trap.

Strengths
Can inflict most status ailments
Weaknesses
Low attack and defence under normal circumstances

Etrian Odyssey

Survivalist

Crafty dungeon explorers whose knowledge of the Labyrinth gives them an advantage over their foes, survivalists can blend into shadows, making them harder to hit. They can also raise the entire party’s speed, turning the tide of battle in your favour before the fight even starts. Their bows allow them to attack from either line with no damage penalty, and a few skills let them attack multiple enemies at once.

Strengths
Effective status enhancements, useful woodland skills
Weaknesses
Low attack power, no elemental attacks

Etrian Odyssey

Bard

Those who can’t fight... sing! Though the bard class is weak in both attack and defence, their songs can boost the rest of the party to even greater heights. Various songs can increase the rest of the group’s Hit Points and Technique Points, lend elemental properties to their weapons and even give them more experience after a successful battle. They can also help debilitate the enemy, cancelling any status benefits the monsters may have and lowering their resistance to elemental magic.

Strengths
Can increase the party’s effectiveness
Weaknesses
Not very effective in battle themselves

Etrian Odyssey

Protector

Protectors are holy knights who specialise in defending both themselves and the rest of the party. Their versatile defences can be applied to themselves, a particular line or the entire party, guarding those who need it most. Not limited to physical defences, the protectors can also guard against elemental attacks. Their skill with a weapon is also formidable, and a few basic healing skills round out their arsenal.

Strengths
Excellent defence, high attack power, healing abilities
Weaknesses
Specific defences are a gamble, no elemental attacks

Etrian Odysee

Medic

All-purpose healers for the party, a medic can undo any damage dealt. Their skills range from healing status ailments to curing wounds and even resurrecting dead party members. They can also confer beneficial status effects, such as Hit Points regeneration and elemental resistance. Though their defence makes it a risky proposition, putting them on the front lines gives the surprisingly strong medics a chance to show off what kind of damage they can do.

Strengths
Versatile range of healing skills, good attack power
Weaknesses
Low defence and HP

Etrian Odyssey

Landsknecht

Powerhouses who can deal damage when you need it most, landsknechts aren’t afraid to rush into any situation, no matter how dangerous, and get their hands dirty. Their physical strength comes at the cost of defence, and if you’re willing to take a gamble, some of their skills can tilt the balance even further toward raw power by abandoning defence entirely. A few elemental skills make sure they can pitch in even in fights against magical enemies.

Strengths
High attack power, capable f multiple attacks
Weaknesses
Low defence, few non-physical attacks
Etrian Odyssey

Samurai

Samurai are warriors from a foreign land whose skill in combat surpasses even the landsknecht’s. These swordsmen can adopt three stances in battle, each strengthening the Samurai in different ways and allowing them to use different skills. From the Overhead stance, they can attack with burning blades; from the Seigan stance, they can deflect enemy attacks; and from the Iai stance, they can deliver strikes so blindingly fast as to destroy a monster in one hit.

Strengths
Unmatched physical attacks, versatile skills
Weaknesses
Changing stances eats up turns in battle
