Hunter Strengths and Best Use Cases

★ Hunter Attributes ★
Abating Orb Is a Useful Skill in Battle Critical Buffer Powerful AoE Attack

Abating Orb Is a Useful Skill in Battle

The Hunter Job has access to the "Abating Orb" skill that nullifies the effects of buffs on your opponent. If you feel that your opponents overpower you with their augments, use this particular skill to level the playing field.

Critical Buffer

Take Aim is also an important skill in a Hunter's arsenal. By increasing the chances of inflicting critical hits to your opponents, you increase the offensive output of your attacks.

Powerful AoE Attack

The Hunter has a Divine Skill called Draefendi's Bow that unleashes a very powerful bow attack on all of your enemies. This skill can be very useful when dealing with multiple opponents in need of disposing.
