Dancer

• Use Blade Dance to attack multiple times with a normal attack. This also triggers bonus activations of the class skill and Ferocity to increase HP and TP regeneration.
• Speed Boost offsets the accuracy penalty of your skills and the speed penalty from maces. Note that it clashes with the evasion bonus from Fan Dance.
• Regen Waltz offers mild regeneration to offset the HP losses from Blood Surge.
  
  

Fortress

• Bolt Strike offers a source of volt damage to grant full elemental coverage.
• Regenerate HP with Holy Smite without dropping the offensive pressure.
• Raise MAX HP with HP Boost to extend the number of turns you can last under Blood Surge.
• Reinforce physical resistance with access to shields and Iron Wall.
  
  

Landsknecht

• Reinforce physical resistance with access to shields, Swordbreaker, Iron Wall, and Weapon Parry.
• Increase physical damage output with Power Boost and Initiative (with the assistance of speed-increasing equipment).
  
  

Medic

• Expand mace-based offensive options with Heavy Strike, Knockout Blow and Star Drop, but you may need some speed-increasing equipment or ally's assistance to make the most of the stun effect of Heavy Strike or the temporary defense decrease of Star Drop.
• Raise MAX TP with TP Boost to extend mileage under Blood Surge without stopping to refill.
  
  

Nightseeker

• Use Blade Flurry to attack with both equipped weapons in one normal attack. This also triggers bonus activations of the class skill and Ferocity to double HP and TP regeneration.
• Follow Trace gives a bonus chance of additional damage.
• Speed Boost offsets the accuracy penalty of your skills and the speed penalty from maces.
