The main dragoon's identity and what makes a Dragoon a Dragoon. The Jump ability is a vital ability especially against some bosses and learning to use it can be the difference between victory and defeat.

Comeback Kid

An ability that turns negative ailments to possitive ones? It's one of the best as long as that ailment doesn't kill you before it triggers. Especially helpful for tankier class units.
