Bravely Second Catmancer Skills and Mastery List

The Catmancer Job in Bravely Second replaced the Vampire from Bravely Default. You can learn enemy skills, then use them in battle. Unlike the Vampire, you also need specific cat items each time you use a Catmancer ability.

You can only get these skills from certain enemies. Some skills are unavailable until you reach chapter 5 or later, and some are available from different enemies depending on how far in the story you made it.

I’m going to list all of the Catmancer abilities, how to get them, and what items they need. If you need help with anything else, check out by Bravely Second Beginner Tips and Tricks.

This guide will go over getting the Catmancer skills and mastery including:

• Catmancer Skills and Mastery List – Every Catmancer skill, what they do, where to get them, and what items they need.
• Cat Food Items – How to get Cat Food Items.

Catmancer Skills and Mastery List

I’m going to list the skills as they appear in Yew’s Diary. I may be missing some and if you know what they are, let me know in the comments.

There may also be multiple enemies available for each skill, but I’m listing the ones that I learned them from. You can let me know if you learned them from anyone else.

Cat Food Items

There are multiple ways to get Catmancer items.

• Dig – Level 4 Catmancer skill
• This will find a cat food item while in battle.
• Randomly from battles and found in the world
• Bioplant building from the moon
• When you fix and upgrade this building, you will periodically receive them from the moon over time.
• You will also be able to buy them from the traveling merchant after unlocking them.

If you are trying to max Catmancer and use all of the abilities, I highly suggest maxing out the Bioplant so you have easy access to every cat food item. It also gives you confectioneries for the Patissier Job if you choose to use that.
