Assessment

Mechanic is the most versatile pre-HL class in the game, resembling the flexibility of Row IV classes by allowing players to essentially choose two additional subskills via Companion Mods. Certain mods also provide rare or unique utilities, giving Mechanic lots of potential for niche setups against particular enemies.

The class should be a high priority for every player due to Energy Maneuver, which can emulate Strike Time at any time (including actual Strike Time) and in any battle.

Other notable chips are listed below, but note that some require valuable materials to purchase

• Anti Debuff Maneuver offers VeilDebuffs will be nullified (1 time)
  

  ---

  "Veil" is an unofficial name used by the wiki for this status effect. Its actual in-game name is "Immune." without occupying the subskill slot (unlike Bishop), which can be very valuable for players without Sage
• Support Unit: Clear similarly clears debuffs repeatedly, excellent against enemies with debuffs too frequent for (or which bypass) Veil, or to clear self-inflicted debuffs (eg. Ferry or Jeanne d'Arc (Dark))
• Bomb Maneuver deals all-foe plain damage with a high cap, which can be very useful in farm content such as Arcarum or Hard Raids, especially in combination with other large plain damage sources (eg. Threo or Yodarha (SSR))
• Technical Unit: Break applies up to 30% DEF Down (Stackable)DEF is lowered (Stackable)
  

  ---

  Strength: 7%, which both bypasses enemy immunity to normal DEF DownDEF is lowered
  and stacks with both normal and elemental DEF down (eg. Fire DEF DownDEF is lowered for fire DMG
  ), making it much easier to reach the -50% cap without relying on particular characters
• Weakening Maneuver applies 25% Debuff Res. DownDebuff resistance is lowered
  

  ---

  Strength: 25%, which allows players to build around debuffs without being forced into the Harpist line

The one weakness of Mechanic is that it is usually inferior to more specialized classes with proper character support, but it nonetheless provides an excellent stop-gap for players lacking those classes or characters, and Energy Maneuver remains incredibly powerful at all stages of the game.

Companion Mods

• Your companion can have 1 AI part, 1 Action part, and 4 support parts.
