Dragoon (Final Fantasy III)

The Dragoon is a job class in Final Fantasy III. It is gained from the Water Crystal. Dragoons wield spears in battle and are highly skilled against aerial foes. They are renowned for their ability to launch deadly attacks from above.
==Abilities==
===Famicom version===
*Special ability - Jump
This is the first time Jump appears in the Final Fantasy series, and it functions exactly the same as in subsequent games. By jumping into the air, the Dragoon avoids all attacks, and comes back down on the enemy a turn later, doing twice as much damage.
Additionally, when a Dragoon uses Jump against a dragon-type enemy, the damage is higher than usual.
===3D versions===
*Special ability - Jump
In this version, Jump is the same. However, the damage multiplier is dependent on the job level, with damage ranging from 1.5x damage to 2.4x damage using the following formula:
:Damage~Bonus=Original~Damage\times\left(1.5+\frac{Job~Level}{110}\right)
Which give the following results:
Job Level	Damage Multiplier
1-10 	1.5
11-21 	1.6
22-32 	1.7
33-43 	1.8
44-54 	1.9
55-65 	2.0
66-76 	2.1
77-87 	2.2
88-98 	2.3
99 	2.4
Additionally, if an enemy is weak against Wind, damage is further doubled.
===Pixel Remaster version===
*Special ability - Jump
Jump still functions the same, with the damage increase is dependent on the Dragoon's job level.

==Other appearances==
===Final Fantasy Dimensions II (free-to-play)===
The Onion Dragoon appeared as a water-elemental Eidolon in the original free-to-play version. The summon's design is directly based on the Dragoon job's appearance in the 3D remake of Final Fantasy III. Its final artwork depicts the Onion Dragoon wielding the Gae Bolg from Final Fantasy XIV.
Released during the game's time as Final Fantasy Legends: Toki no Suishō, the Onion Dragoon signet allowed the user to perform Geirskogul I-III abilities and had the Dragon Dive summon attack. The signet could be equipped by all party members and was an SS+ signet.
Like other cameo signets, the Onion Dragoon was removed from the premium release. Its Geirskogul abilities were transferred to the third Sandy signet.

==Behind the scenes==
Though Ricard Highwind from Final Fantasy II marks the first appearance of Dragoons in the series, Final Fantasy III is the first game to feature the job's Jump command, which would become its trademark. Final Fantasy III is also the first game to have spears as Dragoons' iconic weapons. The original releases of Final Fantasy II had Ricard skilled only with swords, with later remakes giving him an equal weapon level with spears and a spear equipped by default.
