Bushi
The Bushi class, representing the zodiac Aquarius, focuses more on attack rather than on any supportive spells. Despite possessing many augments that support magicks, they are incapable of casting their own spells. Also, they do not have many augments that increase their base physical power.
Equipping the Genji Gloves on a Bushi may help optimize its speed. The lower their HP, the more damage a Bushi can deal. The best way to take advantage of this is to pair a Bushi with a support class like a Monk or a White Mage.

Augments
Because they have the highest number of HP augments, the Bushi rivals the Monk in terms of HP pools. While, the player does not necessarily have to focus all their license points on HP, it is their primary form of defense.
