Dancer (Tactics A2)

Dancer is a job class exclusive to Penelo in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.
==Profile==
Penelo's dances debilitate enemies. She can equip poles, rods, staves, and daggers. In utility, Dancer is the direct opposite of Hurdy's Bard job, some moves being related, such as the Forbidden Dance and Nameless Song being exact opposites.
Though with average stat growth, this job can be lethal if used with Assassin as a main job, giving the benefits of equipping powerful katana, access to Last Breath and ranged attack via greatbows. Another notable combo is combining Dancer with Green Magick, allowing Penelo to buff the party and debilitate the enemy's party. Combining Spellblade as the primary job allows her to equip better weapons and armor, as well as improving her debuffing capabilities. If equipped with Reflex and Ribbon, Penelo can defeat almost any foe without concern about standard attacks and debuffs herself, making her a fearsome unit.
