Bravely Second Yokai Job Guide

The Yokai Job in Bravely Second is a unique one that uses magic and special abilities. It is the last job you unlock and has a quest to unlock all the abilities. It is an important Job to have, because it lets you get all your Jobs past the level 10 limit and go to level 11. Even if you don’t use the Job, it is worth getting it just for that.

The magic and abilities from the Seven Great Sins definitely make this Job worth your time. If you want help with anything else in Bravely Second, check out my Master Guide List.

Cross Job Tips

• Wizard is great if you plan on using the job’s magic abilities because of the Spellcraft ability to add effects to magic.
• Time Mage is good for the M.Atk 20% Up support ability.
• Summoner helps with the MP 20% up support ability since the spells cost a lot.
• Ninja is good for the Dual Wield support ability if you plan on doing physical damage.

Combat Tips

I find the best way to use Yokai is like a magic Job. They have the strongest fire, water, lightning, and air magic in the game.

Their sin abilities are also useful and the Job could be used just for that.

Sloth is great when you want to make all enemies weak to all elements so you can devastate them with elemental attack.

Envy is good when you want to lower enemy stats, and Pride is good when you want to raise your own.

The best part is that all these abilities also cancel enemy support effects, so you can buff yourself while crippling your enemy at the same time.

You can be very creative with Disguise as well, since it lets you change your Job and access all the abilities of that Job.
