Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age / FFXII: TZA - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Archer

The Archer class, representing the zodiac Sagittarius, has the highest single shot damage in the game. Its power often comes from the Augment: Focus, allowing it to increase in damage as long as it stays at full health. One of its special skills is the ability to augment and increase their damage multiplier as they level up. They are a Quick Range class, primarily using bows and light armor.

In terms of magick use, the archer class only has one kind of magick: white magick. They then can only know two White Magicks: Cura and Raise. The only other form of magick they are capable of learning is Summoning. As such, they can summon Espers to aid them in battle.

Archer class members are also the only ones who possess all three Phoenix Down Augments and three Potion Lore Augments. Also, they learn the largest number of Technicks out of the twelve job classes. However, they have very few skills that can augment their abilities, as they are unable to learn Adrenaline.
