Command Ability Setup

Best Commands
Lunatic	Blood Weapon	Swayback

• Lunatic: Greatly increases attack speed at the cost of break gauge auto recovery while the buff is active. This is an excellent command ability for Dragoons as all combo abilities have long combos.
• Blood Weapon: Blood Weapon is a good way to restore HP through offense, as the restored HP is based on damage dealt during the buff's duration.
• Swayback: A great compliment to Lunatic. Swayback lets you regain your Break Gauge despite having Lunatic on, allowing you to maintain the buff and offensive at the same time.

Passive and Effect Priorities

Best Passives and Effects
Crippling Strike	Run Through	Soul Shield: MP Recovery +19.9%

• Crippling Strike: Crippling Strike enhances your Link 1 combo by increasing the break damage dealt. This makes Cylone absolutely shred even the toughest of break gauges when used during Lunatic's duration.
• Run Through: A straightforward passive that affects your forward attack combo. This passive greatly reduces the enemy's max break gauge, improving your Jump or Wild Thrust's effectiveness.
• Soul Shield: MP Recovery +19.9%: Aggressive builds will always require players to stay within melee range during fights, which often leads to high Soul Shield usage. Bolster it's MP recovery by grabbing this passive as soon as possible.

Recommended Equipment Effects

We recommend going all-out on offensive stats to compliment the Dragoon's aggressive playstyle. This effect setup ensures that your damage maintains an optimal level regardless of the target. MP Regeneration through normal attacks and soul shields results in increased DPS as well, as they allow you to activate combo and command abilities more often.

Best Job Synergies and Pairings

Berserker Job

Berserker	Available Weapon(s)	Shield?
	Greatsword Axe	Cannot use shields
Basic Info	The Berserker is one the tankiest damage output with access to both the greatsword and the axe. They also have the Berserk ability that temporarily increases their strength even further at the expense of the ability to use potions.

Berserker is an amazing compliment to the Dragoon as both encourage aggressive playstyles with their damage-focused abilities. Transitioning between both jobs is seemless as they both only have one objective: Deplete Break Gauges as fast as possible.
