8 Things Every Good JRPG Needs

A solid story? A colorful cast of loyal teammates who’d follow you anywhere? These are just a few things quality JRPGs have.

There are literally dozens of different classes that you create characters for, summoning and confining phantoms into the real world in the form of warriors, supporters, and even monsters. One of the easiest classes to play is the Angler class.

The Angler should be focused on staying on the outer edge of the map, and using that position to launch enemies off the side using wave attacks commonly found in Beach Items. Their O.B. and the amount of distance they push enemies back (Blowback) is heavily emphasized in their inate abilities.

Best Stats to Boost

The Angler thrives in non-magical situations, and is a warrior character with a focus on bouncing and moving enemies. Use scrolls and other buffs to help increase their SPD and HP , but mainly focus on increasing their DEF and SP as you level them up. When possible, increase the character’s Blowback and Attack Power, as well as their Skill Area to boost their launching and O.B. moves.

Best Tools to Equip

The best items to equip for the Angler class areBeach Items, which are General Items releated to the sea (such as fish, starfish, etc.). If you can’t tell whether an item is a Beach Item, look at its skillset and make sure that there is some kind of wave-related skill used to push or move enemies!
