Eithis Zeorae:

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “I am here to guide you.”

Job: Dancer.

Weapons: War-fans (chakrams).

AI Behavior: In contrast to Sohru, Eithis is more aggressive than supportive, using Flourish whenever possible, combining it with Technical Step + Devilment. She is very fond of using En Avant to move around the battlefield. Otherwise she behaves similar to Sohru, except for her using Improvisation more often than him, especially when a big attack needing of healing is coming.

Battle Lines:

“This is my purpose.” —Starting Attack Line

“You will be seeing stars!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Saber Dance)

“Hear the coalescing stars’ beat!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Improvisation)

“Allow me to guide your steps.” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Closed Position)

Limit Break:

• “Like a comet’s tail!” —Using Limit Break I (Big Shot)

• “Twin stars in unison!” —Using Limit Break II (Desperado)

• “As Lychnus-Adum, I shall make the stars flourish!” —Using Limit Break III (Crimson Lotus)

KO’d:

• “I’m fading…” —Variation 1

• “My lord… I failed…” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “My guidance is still needed!” —Variation 1

• “I’m most grateful, shining star!” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “This should be enlightening!”

Job: Scholar.

Weapons: Codex.

AI Behavior: Compared to Yrere, Hector is a more supportive healer, focusing instead on having the party well-healed and well-shielded for as long as possible. He will not hesitate to use Emergency Tactics if an extra dose of healing is needed, and he is not above spending his Aetherflow stacks for Lustrate / Indomitability / Sacred Soil or his Fey Gauge for Fey Blessing to maximize his healing output. However, he will not shirk from using Chain Stratagem on the enemy whenever possible and keeping Biolysis up constantly. Hector will only Summon Seraph in dire situations, which do not happen often thanks to his generous healing and shielding.

Battle Lines:

“What might we learn from this?” —Starting Attack Line

“I spy a weak point!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Chain Stratagem)

“Pray assist us!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Summon Seraph)

“Hold on, help is coming!” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Resurrection)

Limit Break:

• “Don’t give up!” —Using Limit Break I (Healing Wind)

• “We cannot falter!” —Using Limit Break II (Breath of the Earth)

• “Only together we may change this course!” —Using Limit Break III (Angel Feathers)

KO’d:

• “Another mystery to research…” —Variation 1

• “Was it… wrong of me to hope…?” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “I’m not one to leave my work unfinished!” —Variation 1

• “I never doubted you!” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “Very well, let’s see what awaits us.”

Job: Astrologian.

Weapons: Starglobe.

AI Behavior: While a supportive healer, Ivanov is more of a damage-dealer than Nagi. He favors Diurnal Sect and will always use Celestial Intersection to ward the tank from incoming tankbusters. Because of his tendency to cast offensive spells, he will use Horoscope, Synastry and place Earthly Star whenever possible, besides having the regen effect of Aspected (Diurnal) Helios up constantly. Also, if there is a dire need of healing, be it single or in group, he will use Lightspeed to spam Benefic II / Helios. Like Nagi, though, he will only use Divination when he has three different seals and protect the party from stack markers with Collective Unconscious.

Battle Lines:

“The time has come.” —Starting Attack Line

“A contest of wills!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Collective Unconscious)

“The wheel of fortune is on our side!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Divination)

“Night doesn’t beckon you yet.” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Ascend)

Limit Break:

• “We must overcome this trial!” —Using Limit Break I (Healing Wind)

• “The land whispers of our victory!” —Using Limit Break II (Breath of the Earth)

• “We are the ones who decide our fate!” —Using Limit Break III (Astral Stasis)

KO’d:

• “I suppose… I deserve this…” —Variation 1

• “If this is the price I must pay…” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “I can still make amends.” —Variation 1

• “I’m truly grateful. Allow me to repay.” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “Agent 182. Ready.”

Job: Red Mage.

Weapons: Rapier.

AI Behavior: For a red mage, Maral spends more time casting spells and reaching naturally the burst phase than forcing it, using Manafication only if the foe’s status opens a clear window for it. He is fonder of using Verflare rather than Verholy, and will regularly buff his allies with Embolden. His opener is almost always comprised by Acceleration + Swiftcast + Verthunder / Veraero. He is not that supportive of healers, but still he will use Vercure and cast Verraise if the situation calls for it.

Battle Lines:

“Begin.” —Starting Attack Line

“Burn.” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Scorch)

“Together.” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Embolden)

“Arise.” —Assisting an ally, Variation 2 (Verraise)

Limit Break:

• “Here.” —Using Limit Break I (Skyshard)

• “Rain down.” —Using Limit Break II (Starstorm)

• “Over.” —Using Limit Break III (Vermilion Scourge)

KO’d:

• “Whither…” —Variation 1

• “Master…” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “My gratitude.” —Variation 1

• “Back.” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “I do this for all of us.”

Job: Summoner.

Weapons: Grimoire.

AI Behavior: Imi is similar to L’zhai in terms of behavior, with the particularity that she is more prone to switch Egi depending on how the battle is developing. Her pace may seem slower, but she calculates better when to summon or use certain abilities than L’zhai. She is also much quicker than him to raise fallen allies with Swiftcast + Resurrection.

Battle Lines:

“Onward!” —Starting Attack Line

“Calamitous dragon, subject them to your choler!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Enkindle Bahamut – Akh Morn)

“Flaming bird, blind them with your radiance!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Enkindle Phoenix – Revelation)

“I call upon your blessings!” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Aetherpact)

Limit Break:

• “Bow down to me!” —Using Limit Break I (Skyshard)

• “Behold my power!” —Using Limit Break II (Starstorm)

• “By the blood of the Callers, I will end this!” —Using Limit Break III (Teraflare)

KO’d:

• “Farcical…” —Variation 1

• “I failed… everyone…” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “If you thought me a helpless princess, think again!” —Variation 1

• “I’m not about to give up so easily.” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “Agent 196 reporting.”

Job: Dark Knight.

Weapons: Greatsword.

AI Behavior: Kinnara is an aggressive tank for a dark knight, using the main combo and Blood Weapon whenever possible to increase her Blood Gauge and unleash Bloodspiller, Quietus or Living Shadow. She, however, keeps control of her health and adopt a more defensive behavior if needed. She is versatile enough and has great reaction time, though she tends to focus in one enemy instead of using AoE’s, and generally only recurs to them when she is losing enmity.

Battle Lines:

“There’s no escape.” —Starting Attack Line

“So you think you can kill me?” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Living Dead)

“Your soul will be mine!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Living Shadow)

“Don’t interfere.” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (The Blackest Night)

Limit Break:

• “You can’t stop me.” —Using Limit Break I (Shield Wall)

• “Don’t even bother.” —Using Limit Break II (Stronghold)

• “Darkness shield me!” —Using Limit Break III (Dark Force)

KO’d:

• “Master… Forgive me…” —Variation 1

• “So the hunter has become the prey…” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “There’s no running away from me.” —Variation 1

• “I’ll see my mission to the end!” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “It’s destruction o’clock!”

Job: Black Mage.

Weapons: Rod.

AI Behavior: Aelun is both the most powerful and risky of all casters, with little to none regard to defensive maneuvers, especially if she is in the middle of a damage burst. She will happily unleash Triplecast + Flare if there is more than one enemy, and do not expect her to move if she has set Ley Lines unless the attack incoming is an insta-kill, for which she will immediately move back with Between the Lines. She will immediately cast Foul / Xenoglossy when ready. She will gleefully spam her Thundercloud procs as well, and unleash the Limit Break the moment it is ready, no matter if there are melee DPS in the party. Despite her erratic actions, her damage output compensates for the troubles she might cause.

Battle Lines:

“Line ‘em up!” —Starting Attack Line

“Let’s see what this does!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Triplecast)

“Time for some death!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Ley Lines)

“Ahh, the sweet sound of obliteration!” —Using specialty Skills, Variation 3 (Xenoglossy)

Limit Break:

• “Best wishes, friend!” —Using Limit Break I (Skyshard)

• “Sorry, no gods are hearing your prayers!” —Using Limit Break II (Starstorm)

• “Hope you like Hell, ‘cause you’re staying there!” —Using Limit Break III (Meteor)

KO’d:

• “Father… I can see the lights…” —Variation 1

• “Haha… You think I fear death?” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “Well, where were we?” —Variation 1

• “Someone has to take my place in Hell now, you know?” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “Time to step up!”

Job: Dancer.

Weapons: Chakrams.

AI Behavior: Sohru alternates between support and DPS phases. He will always enter the fray with Standard Step and, if not in cooldown, Technical Step + Devilment + Flourish. If there are many enemies, he will jump in and use his AoE rotation. He will swiftly dodge or stack with En Avant. If the party needs some extra healing he will use Curing Waltz and if a heavy attack comes he will use Shield Samba. If he uses Improvisation then he will come closer to the party for better results. He will immediately use Saber Dance when available.

Battle Lines:

“Next step!” —Starting Attack Line

“You’re mine!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Saber Dance)

“Let our hearts beat in unison!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Improvisation)

“Care to be my dance partner?” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Closed Position)

Limit Break:

• “One, two, three, and go!” —Using Limit Break I (Big Shot)

• “This is your grand finale!” —Using Limit Break II (Desperado)

• “Shall we dance?” —Using Limit Break III (Crimson Lotus)

KO’d:

• “I stumbled…” —Variation 1

• “What a shameful performance…” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “Back on track!” —Variation 1

• “The show is not over yet!” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “I’ll lead you to victory.”

Job: Gunbreaker.

Weapons: Gunblade.

AI Behavior: Almost as aggressive as L’nhei when tanking, Rena is only slightly more cautious, applying defensive cooldowns when needed but not when immediately available. She will rush into the enemy with Rough Divide, and will also use it as gap closer during boss battles. She will begin her normal combo and once she has a cartridge she will use No Mercy and apply both Sonic Break and Bow Shock, followed by Blasting Zone and the Savage Claw full combo. If she is surrounded by enemies, Rena will instead use Bloodfest and Fated Circle. When magic AoE’s come, she will use Heart of Light to shield the party, and if pressed enough, she will use Superbolide.

Battle Lines:

“On my mark!” —Starting Attack Line

“Whatever it takes!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Superbolide)

“My path is cleared!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Blasting Zone)

“I’m right here!” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Heart of Light)

Limit Break:

• “Back off!” —Using Limit Break I (Shield Wall)

• “Stay focused!”—Using Limit Break II (Stronghold)

• “I’ll cover you!” —Using Limit Break III (Gunmetal Soul)

KO’d:

• “I can’t fall here…” —Variation 1

• “This can’t be the end…” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “Forgot about me so soon?” —Variation 1

• “I say when this is over!” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “The smartest of choices!”

Job: Scholar.

Weapons: Codex.

AI Behavior: Yrere is the middle-ground healer, splitting her actions between doing damage and shielding her allies. She will begin boss battles by using Recitation + Adloquium + Deployment Tactics, though if someone is not in the range of the latter she will not stop to shield them. She will hold from using Lustrate and Indomitability until it is necessary, and mostly adhere to Succor and Sacred Soil to mitigate damage. When her Fey Gauge is full enough, she might use Fey Blessing in case of need, but she mainly will save it for Aetherpact, activating Fey Union on the tank. She will Summon Seraph regularly, though not when immediately available. If there is more than one enemy and the tank is properly healed, she will come into the pull to deal damage with Art of War.

Battle Lines:

“So rudimentary.” —Starting Attack Line

“Your demise is nigh!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Chain Stratagem)

“Make yourself somewhat useful!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Summon Seraph)

“Did I give you imbecile permission to die?” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Resurrection)

Limit Break:

• “Apply yourselves, would you!” —Using Limit Break I (Healing Wind)

• “Of course I would have to prevent your failure.” —Using Limit Break II (Breath of the Earth)

• “… I’m surrounded by idiots and I have to save them.” —Using Limit Break III (Angel Feathers)

KO’d:

• “Inconceivable…” —Variation 1

• “How crude…” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “A genius like me doesn’t go out so easily!” —Variation 1

• “As if I needed your help, but thanks nonetheless.” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “Fine.”

Job: Dark Knight.

Weapons: Scythe (greatsword).

AI Behavior: Aina is the middle-ground tank between how aggressive are L’nhei and Rena and how defensive is Ryuzan. Her pulls are usually from afar via Unmend, except in bosses when she will instead use Plunge. For multiple enemies, she will begin with Flood of Shadow and Unleash + Stalwart Soul. She will enter Delirium whenever possible, and then use Quietus if there is more than one foe, and Bloodspiller if it is against a boss. She will cover herself or a comrade in need with The Blackest Night, and protect the party against big AoE’s with Dark Missionary. From time to time, she will use Living Shadow, and when not in cooldown she will cast Salted Earth. Also, if severely threatened, she will use Living Dead.

Battle Lines:

“Reaping time.” —Starting Attack Line

“Kill me now. If you can.” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Living Dead)

“I’m tired of this.” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Living Shadow)

“Stop trying to die.” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (The Blackest Night)

Limit Break:

• “Meh.” —Using Limit Break I (Shield Wall)

• “Good luck surviving, everyone.” —Using Limit Break II (Stronghold)

• “Don’t blame me if we die.” —Using Limit Break III (Dark Force)

KO’d:

• “Hardly surprising.” —Variation 1

• “Tasting ground time. Yay.” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “Oh, great. Back to getting smacked.” —Variation 1

• “No rest for the fallen, I guess.” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “Together, we’re unstoppable!”

Job: Summoner.

Weapons: Grimoire.

AI Behavior: L’zhai will mostly summon Ruby Carbuncle (Ifrit-Egi) to fight at his side, using Egi Assault I / II whenever possible. His first action in battle will be using Tri-disaster + Bane if there is more than one enemy, and enter Dreadwyrm Trance / Firebird Trance the moment they are ready. He will use Enkindle Bahamut (Akh Morn) / Enkindle Phoenix (Revelation) the moment he summons them, and a second time before they go away. For groups of enemies, he will use Energy Syphon, Outburst and summon Emerald Carbuncle (Garuda-Egi). He will usually avoid AoE’s, but when in Trance he will move as little as possible.

Battle Lines:

“Carbuncle, to me!” —Starting Attack Line

“Dreadwyrm of calamity, unleash your deathly wrath!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Enkindle Bahamut – Akh Morn)

“Firebird of rebirth, cleanse them in your flames!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Enkindle Phoenix – Revelation)

“Grant us your blessings, Carbuncle!” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Aetherpact)

Limit Break:

• “Watch this!” —Using Limit Break I (Skyshard)

• “Heads up!” —Using Limit Break II (Starstorm)

• “Lend me your power, O King of Dragons!” —Using Limit Break III (Teraflare)

KO’d:

• “Why, you…” —Variation 1

• “Ow…” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “You haven’t seen the last of me!” —Variation 1

• “The Master of Carbuncles is back!” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “We’re gonna have the best of times!”

Job: Warrior.

Weapons: Axe.

AI Behavior: L’nhei is a rather aggressive tank, rather fond of using Inner Release and unleash Inner Chaos or every available Fell Cleave / Decimate if she has two stacks of Infuriate. In case of necessity, she will use Nascent Glint on the healer. She will mostly avoid using defensive abilities, reserving them for a full-effect Shake It Off if needed. If she sees herself overwhelmed, she will resort to Holmgang. If possible, L’nhei will begin her pulls rushing with Onslaught rather than afar with Tomahawk.

Battle Lines:

“Here we go!” —Starting Attack Line

“Aw, leaving so soon?” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Holmgang)

“How’s THIS for a lady?” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Inner Chaos)

“C’mon, c’mon!” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Shake It Off)

Limit Break:

• “Hee-hee!” —Using Limit Break I (Shield Wall)

• “I’m ready for anything!” —Using Limit Break II (Stronghold)

• “Try getting through THAT!” —Using Limit Break III (Land Waker)

KO’d:

• “You… brute…!” —Variation 1

• “So unladylike…” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “Surprise!” —Variation 1

• “This lady is tougher than she looks!” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “I’m on it.”

Job: Dragoon.

Weapons: Lance.

AI Behavior: Dhemswys will enter battle by casting Blood of the Dragon and Battle Litany if the latter is not on cooldown. Also, if not on cooldown, she will start with Dragonfire Dive. She will start her Disembowel + Chaos Thrust combo and will do it every time she has to refresh the DoT. Whenever available, she will use High Jump / Spineshatter Dive + Mirage Dive, and will only enter Life of the Dragon when the gauge is full. Dhemswys will also use Dragon Sight when possible to her DPS companion and she may avoid AoE’s with Elusive Jump, though sometimes this might work against her in small arenas.

Battle Lines:

“Let’s do this.” —Starting Attack Line

“Dragon’s blood, give me strength!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Blood of the Dragon)

“From on high!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Stardiver)

“Let us join in the chorus!” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Battle Litany)

Limit Break:

• “For the future!” —Using Limit Break I (Braver)

• “You’ll be banished!” —Using Limit Break II (Bladedance)

• “Soul of dragons, I call upon you!” —Using Limit Break III (Dragonsong Dive)

KO’d:

• “And so I fall…” —Variation 1

• “I wasn’t skilled enough…” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “Jumping back into the fray!” —Variation 1

• “I’m not yet done.” —Variation 2

[ffxivpathoflight]

Selection: “I’ll support you as best as I can.”

Job: White Mage.

Weapons: Cane.

AI Behavior: As a white mage, Victoriel focuses more on healing than X’wyhn does, only dealing damage when the situation is under control. He will save the uses of Afflatus Solace and Afflatus Rapture for when they are really necessary, and regularly casts Temperance after cooldown except if it is not truly needed. He is the fastest of both white mages to cast Benediction and he is a more constant healer in exchange for his sporadic damage dealing.

Battle Lines:

“I’m right behind you.” —Starting Attack Line

“Bloom!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Afflatus Misery)

“I won’t let you down!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Temperance)

“We can’t lose you!” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Raise)

Limit Break:

• “I have to do something!” —Using Limit Break I (Healing Wind)

• “Hold on!” —Using Limit Break II (Breath of the Earth)

• “Great ancestors, breathe life upon us all!” —Using Limit Break III (Pulse of Life)

KO’d:

• “I wasn’t enough…” —Variation 1

• “Despite all my efforts…” —Variation 2

Revived:

• “I’m fine! Thanks!” —Variation 1

• “I’ll solve my mess-up!” —Variation 2
