Dragoon Tips & How to Use

Heavy Break Damage Dealer

Though the Dragoon has access to three weapon types, we recommend sticking to the Lance to fully make use of the Dragoon's combo abilities. The Dragon can easily clear through break gauges through its combos because they get enhanced by Crippling Strike and Run Through. As an advanced job from the Lancer, you also have access to the Lancer's breaking abilities like Cyclone and Piercing Thrust making it easier to wallsplat enemies!

Take Advantage of Lightning-imbued Attacks

The Dragoon has access to two lightning-imbued attacks such as Aerial Break and Vanquish. Enemies can be temporarily paralyzed when hit with these attacks consecutively. They also deal more damage against water-type enemies like Sea Devils and Water Elementals.
