On the Boss Battlefield however, the Thief sports one of the highest damaging abilities in the game! For a high cost of 95 MP, the Thief can use God Speed Strike which can deal massive amounts of damage twice to a single target.

The Berserker can cover the Thief's lack of area damaging abilties. It is unsuggested for boss battles though as God Speed Strike is a superior move than any of the Berserker's offensive abilities but if you're exploring the wilds, make sure to set the Berserker as the Thief's subclass!
