Overview

Dancers weave rhythm and movement into powerful performances capable of influencing the outcome of battle. Their dances can provide aid to their companions or weaken their enemies, giving them a unique role within any party.

Playing a Dancer requires good timing and positioning, as many of their performances provide percentage-based effects rather than fixed bonuses. Despite their supportive role, Dancers can still deal solid damage through skills such as Reverberation, while their large SP pool allows them to use offensive skills consistently throughout combat. As they grow stronger, Dancers can also learn Death Valley, a skill that allows them to revive fallen allies during battle.

In general, Dancers possess two types of performance skills. Solo Performances can be used independently, while Ensemble Performances require both a Bard and a Dancer to perform together in order to unleash their full effect.

After reaching Base Level 99 and Job Level 50, Dancers can transcend and begin a new journey through a stronger High-class path. By advancing through the transcendent route and reaching Second Class once again, they can evolve into Gypsy.
