Long Range Destroyer Build

Long Range Destroyer
Breaker is one of the few Jobs that offer great third Link abilities that mesh well with Combo Abilities from other Jobs. This build in particular will focus on using Lance weapons, although the build is extremely modular in that it can also be used with other weapon types with Command, Passive, and Effect Abilities along with Equipment Effects remaining largely the same.

The build is great for players seeking a long-ranged solution to most problems that can be found when encountering enemy groups without having to resort to Magic-casting Jobs such as Sage.

Command Ability Setup

Best Commands
OverpowerOverpower BraveryBravery LunaticLunatic
  • Overpower: Unleashes a powerful attack against enemies from long range. Lightbringer must be active when using this ability, with Lightbringer ending as soon as Overpower is triggered. This Command Ability serves as the primary means of dishing great damage against enemies from a distance, apart from Zantetsuken.
  • Bravery: Increases the damage output of your party, which is helpful for players that are more reliant on their party member's abilities on the field. Unlockable in the Liberator Job Tree.
  • Lunatic: Unlockable in the Berserker Job Tree. Increases the attack speed of the player at the cost of disabling automatic break gauge regeneration.

Passive and Effect Priorities

Best Passives and Effects
Action Ability MP Cost -3.5%Action Ability MP Cost -3.5% Ability Break Damage +3.6%Ability Break Damage +3.6% Physical Damage +3.7%Physical Damage +3.7%
  • Action Ability MP Cost -3.5%: Reduces the amount of MP used when using abilities against opponents. While this build is not as heavy on the use of MP, this is still a useful ability to have due to the situational use of Overpower which requires, at most, 4 full MP bars.
  • Ability Break Damage +3.6%: Increases the amount of damage players can do against an opponent's break gauge. More damage against break gauges can quickly end fights without a heavy reliance on the use of abilities, due to the vulnerable state this leaves enemies in.
  • Physical Damage +3.7%: Increases the Physical Damage players can do whenever using attacks, whether Normal Attacks or through Abilities.

Recommended Equipment Effects

Equipment Effects
・Physical Damage Dealt ( + )
・Break Damage Dealt ( + )
・MP Recovery Rate with Normal Attack ( + )

Although this build does not require players to have substantial amounts of MP at their disposal, having MP being capably replenished through Normal Attacks can help players to trigger the Overpower Ability more often.

This ability, which has devastating effects against groups of enemies, is useful ace up the player's sleeve whenever they deal with stronger enemy types or bosses. Four full bars of MP are required to effectively use it, with other Combo Abilities requiring two or less MP bars to use.

Best Job Synergies and Pairings

Sage

SageSage Available Weapon(s) Shield?
Mace
Can use shields
Basic Info The Sage is a master of spellcasting. They can cast Magic Sigil, to toggle between white and black magic. Casting a white or black magic spell will earn you an emblem of the corresponding color. The more emblems you have, the quicker you will cast spells.

Powerful though it may be, Breaker's powerful long-range attacks simply come at too high of an MP cost to be used consistently against opponents. Despite the fantastic damage its Normal and Combo based attacks can deal against an opponent, the long-ranged attack options with Sage offer a great damage premium for players at minimal amounts of MP required to achieve the same devastating attacks as that of Breaker.

Nonetheless, having Sage as a pairing for Breaker, rather than being its own standalone Job, is a decent way of having melee and magic based options for players in different fights.

Tyrant

Mace
Lance
Katana
Can use shields
Basic Info The Tyrant is a master of elemental combat. This Job has the ability to imbue their weapon with an element corresponding to the magic of their choice.

Another option for players seeking a more magical option is Tyrant. Unlike Sage, Tyrant will allow players to instead enchant their weapons with the elements – a little knowledge on the enemy is required to make this advantage truly work, as different enemies will have different elemental weaknesses.

Managing to exploit these weaknesses will not only lead to faster ending fights, but also significant gains against powerful bosses that otherwise will prove to be a massive challenge for players.
