Welcome to our guide for the best party for every chapter in Bravely Default 2 for the Nintendo Switch. Check here to learn which Jobs will make each section of your adventure easier in the land of Excillent!
List of Contents
It should be known that there doesn't seem to be any apparent differences when it comes to each character's stats. This allows you to rest assured that you can assign any class to any member without any drawbacks.
Beastmaster's capture mechanic allows it to become a force to be reckoned with as time passes and as you collect more creatures. The more captures you have, the more variety this Job will have in its arsenal of skills.

By farming Exp for the Freelancer Job, you can work towards unlocking two very useful abilities: JP Up and JP Up and Up. These abilities add a multiplier to JP gained from battles.
With Sloan accompanying your party for most of the prologue, it is an easy chance to grind up levels as he will be there to help your team out with difficult battles.

After receiving Thief from the end of Chapter 1, we recommend equipping it right away. Godspeed Strike is a high-damage ability that can deal large amounts of single-target damage. Berserk's access to Crescent Moon and Level Slash is extremely useful for clearing out multiple enemies.

Attacker | Dragoon | Thief |
Healer | White Mage | Spirit Master |
Tank | Shield Master | Vanguard |
Notable Abilities | ||
If you get the Dragoon Job at the beginning of Chapter 3, we recommend using it in tandem with the Thief's abilities. Dragoons have naturally high attack and speed which can work in the favor of Thieves. This allows Godspeed Strike to deal even more damage.
When Spirit Master is unlocked, we recommend pairing it with the White Mage. It's abilities at Level 4 and Level 6 help maintain the team's overall health. At Level 7, you can also regenerate MP which makes heavy spell use less of an issue.
In Chapter 4, you can choose between going to Halyconia and Savalon first, or Wiswald and the Airship. For the purposes of this guide, Halcyonia and Savalon are for the First Half, while Wiswald and the Airship are for the Second Half. |
