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 Wizard class.

Best Stats to Boost

The Wizard thrives in magical situations, and is a pellcasting character with a focus on high elemental damage and wide areas of effect. Use scrolls and other buffs to help increase their DEF, but mainly focus on increasing their INT and HP as you level them up. When possible, increase the character’s REMOVE, as they have a relatively low lasting time of 3 actions when summoned into battle. You can also boost this by using Marona’s Confight On skill.

Best Tools to Equip

The best items to equip for the Wizard class areBooksandStaffs, and should be the only two kinds of objects the player considers (unless there’s a bizarre General Item with high INT skills and Spell mastery). We recommend finding equipment with AoE skills, whether it be ranged or surrounding the Wizard.
