Commando (Final Fantasy XIII-2)

Commando is a role from Final Fantasy XIII-2. Its main focus is to use powerful attacks to keep the target's chain gauge from falling and deal heavy damage when the opponent is staggered. Serah and Noel start with this job with Noel specializing in it. There are also numerous Paradigm Pack monsters that serve as Commandos. Lightning in the "Lightning's Story: Requiem of the Goddess" DLC scenario has a role based on the Commando called Paladin.
