Skills

A defensive-oriented class, Spartans excel at preventing and mitigating strong single-turn damage from enemy charge attacks. Spartans retain their utility all the way into end game, with parties of multiple Spartans taking turns preventing damage for the raid being a common tactic. Its only weakness is lower-value EMP skills compared to other classes.

    is great for surviving bosses' special attacks, with the added bonus of a debuff resistance boost. The damage cut is still 70%, like Ability Phalanx.png Phalanx IIAll parties gain Status Dmg Cut 70.png70% DMG CutTaking 70% less DMG

    , and thus requires additional help to reach full Damage Cut. Consider taking Carbuncles or another character with a shield skill that stacks with Ability Phalanx.png Phalanx IIIAll parties gain Status Dmg Cut 70.png70% DMG CutTaking 70% less DMG

    is raid-wide as well. If all raid members co operate, skill use can be shared round-robin style so that the raid always operates under a 70% damage cut. Some late game raids have mechanics that ignore All-Element Damage Cut, so care should be taken before choosing to bring a Spartan to an end game raid.

Trivia

  • While in critical health, Lyria and Vyrn will appear to perform a shield wall with the Main Character. The effect is purely cosmetic.
    • If Lyria is in the front row of the party, she will not join the shield wall.
