Dragoon
"I welcome you to try. You're not the only one who can ride the wind!"
Whether they are seen as traveling nomads or esteemed members of the army, Dragoons are easily recognizable by their dragon-like armor, crafted to show their resemblance to their dragon counterparts. Often seeking to reach new heights, many Dragoons have gone on a training ordeal at some point in their life, jumping to the highest of mountains, sometimes even befriending a wyvern along the way. Throughout history, many Dragoons have taken the surname of Highwind upon themselves, to show their respect to the man who first befriended the wyverns. Or so the legends say.
Dragoons are special knights that are best known for their trademark spears. Using their long reach, a skilled Dragoon can carefully thrust through enemy lines, effectively taking out enemy magic users through selected targeting or MP draining techniques. One of their most commonly used abilities is Jump, which allows the Dragoon to do an aerial attack for moderate damage while still gaining a defensive advantage from being off of the field. With a bit of planning and a touch of intuition, the Dragoon can avoid the brunt of dangerous attacks. At times however, the Dragoon is left in a position where jumping would leave their weaker allies open to attack. Using their breath attacks, the Dragoon can hold back waves of enemies while their allies fight safely from the back row.

Jump
AP: 100
Type: Action
Jump
Technique, Stance
Target: Self
60D F40
Jump Landing
Technique, Weapon
Target: Single
60D F20
Jump is performed as two actions. When the Dragoon first uses Jump (60D F40), they leap off the battlefield and cannot be targeted by any action. They remain in the air until their next action, upon which the Dragoon immediately lands (60D F20), weapon-first, on the target, dealing weapon damage with a x1.5 Power multiplier. If the Dragoon is equipped with a spear, the power multiplier is x2 instead. Jump is Ranged, no matter which weapon is used to perform it. In the Remodeling and Bare systems, rather than needing to equip "Spears" for the damage boost, they need only have a Heavy strength.

Trance Attack
Technique, Weapon
Target: Group
60D F20
Jump is performed as two actions. When the Dragoon first uses Trance Jump (60D F30), they leap off the battlefield and cannot be targeted by any action. They remain in the air until their next action, upon which the Dragoon uses Trance Attack, which deals weapon damage to the entire group, but is calculated using the Dragoon's MAG score rather than ATK, and deals Magical damage rather than Physical. The Dragoon then immediately lands and returns to the field of battle. Trance Jump is Ranged, no matter which weapon is used to perform it.

Supports
Deathblow (Innate)
AP: 150
Type: Support
Anytime the Dragoon hits an enemy with an ability that deals direct damage and the target's HP is in the SOS range after damage is resolved, there is a 50% CoS that the enemy will instantly be KOd.

Long Reach

The Dragoon is capable of using any weapon from the Back row with no penalty, and suffers no penalty to hitting targets in the back row with any weapon as well.

Dragonheart

Trigger: The Dragoon receives damage from an action.
