Bard
Skilled marksmen who sing in the heat of battle to fortify the spirits of their companions. The bow and arrow is the instrument they use to sing their songs of battle.
Bard is the bow-and-arrow job with a musical motif. They cycle through three song modes, each with their own unique party buffs, that have a chance to proc some effect every three seconds. On top of that, they have frequent off-global abilities and other random procs, making them both fast-paced and reactive. Despite their lower personal damage, their utility and buffs results in valuable support and increased party damage.
Blast Arrow is the Bard's finishing attack. Preceded by Apex Arrow, these abilities can be executed then the Bard's Soul Voice gauge is filled sufficiently, gaining meter when their song's effects, called Repertoire, are proced.
Radiant Finale is a Bard's most powerful buff, increasing the party's damage dealt based on their number of Coda. A Coda is gained whenever a Bard performs one of their three songs, and when all three are performed, Radiant Finale can boost the party's damage by a staggering 6%.
Troubadour highlights the Bard's support capabilities, reducing party damage taken by 10%. Along with other abilities such as Nature's Minne and The Warden's Paen, a Bard augments and compliments the healer's role.
