Summoner (Final Fantasy Tactics A2)

"Summoners call powerful Espers from the world of illusion to fight at their side."
—Description


The Summoner job class is available to Viera in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. The Summoner's magic growth is astounding, better even than Nu Mou jobs. The Summoners call on Espers to aid them in battle, either by damaging foes or healing and casting spell effects on the party. To compensate for this unique casting ability, their move stat is low and their summons cannot be cast very far away. With Sprint Shoes or Ninja Tabi and Halve MP equipped, she can be a deadly force. The change in KO mechanics makes the Summoner's Phoenix summon even more potent, as she no longer has to target her allies' bodies, and thus can revive her entire party with one spell. A great combination is putting "Red Magic" on a Summoner and Doublecasting summons. By setting up equipment to absorb elements, a Summoner can use Blood Price and target spells so she hits herself, negating the cost.

The only notable Summoner in the game is Alys, one of the four bosses of Duelhorn.
