Commando returns as the straightforward attacking role, and maintains the same abilities. Serah Farron and Noel Kreiss both start out with Commando, but only the latter specializes in it. There are also numerous Paradigm Pack monsters that serve as Commandos. Lightning in the Lightning's Story: Requiem of the Goddess DLC scenario has a role based on the Commando called Paladin. Clearing the scenario nets Lightning's "Knight of Etro" version as a Paradigm Pack ally, who is possibly the best Paradigm Pack Commando in the game.
