Duelist A
A summoner that uses their mana power to manifest monsters and traps from another world. Their powers require a keen mind and quick wit—to excel, they must adapt and adopt new strategies on the fly, drawing new cards every turn to summon beasts or set up traps for devious counterattacks.
— Website Description[1]

"A new-age summoner armed with a deck of cards", Duelist is one of the eight classes of 7th Dragon III Code: VFD, based on the present timeline and available from the start.

Overview[]

Being the initial class with access to elemental damage, Duelists are a quirky version of Mages. They have a wide variety of attacks to use, but all of these attacks are heavily restricted by the cards the Duelist has on hand. The Duelist begins the battle with two random cards, drawing a new one every turn. Their maximum hand size is six, and whenever they draw a new card while their hand is full, the leftmost one is discarded. The Duelist never runs out of cards to draw. Careful management of cards as the pace of the battle changes can pave the way to victory with the Duelist.

Strategy[]

For starters, work on investing in Draw Bonus to increase your possibility of options available. The Search skills are also ideal when you need to set up for a particular elemental skill. Supply Draw offers a great quantity of cards but is less consistent than the Search skills, but if you are investing in the Duelist's traps which all require a mixture of elements, it can prove advantageous. Judgment may be attractive, but since it requires all three traps to set up and consumes all the traps once it triggers, it is not worth the effort, especially when you consider other party members being able to match Judgment's damage output in a similar time frame.

The Field attacks prove to be very useful within teams focused around a particular element. Invest according to what is most available so that the team can exploit the resistance penalty to its fullest.

In inactive parties, the Duelist has one of the most valued support skills - it cleanses all ailments from the active party. In return, however, the Duelist takes longer to charge their support bar than most other classes, taking 3 turns to do so. It is recommended to save an inactive Duelist's support bar for this express purpose, as it can make the difference between victory or defeat in a boss fight.
