Assessment

An offensive class centered around the narrowly useful but nonetheless potent ability to store area burst damage.

•  Aether Blast II300%-400% elemental damage to all foes (Damage cap: ~420,000).
  Deals more damage when there are fewer foes. has respectable base damage and is nifty for quick farming, especially for players with weaker grids, but is primarily meant to pair with  Laser FocusGain Skill DMG Up (Stackable)Skill DMG is boosted
  Strength: 80%
  (Max: 300%)Duration: Until usedMultiplicative modifier.
  Self-inflict 10% DEF DownDEF is lowered
  Strength: 10%Duration: 1 turn . for greater burst.
•  Venom200%-250% elemental damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~420,000).
  Inflict PoisonedHP is lowered on every turn
  Strength: 4000Duration: 180 seconds. is a passable filler spell which can also be paired with  Laser FocusGain Skill DMG Up (Stackable)Skill DMG is boosted
  Strength: 80%
  (Max: 300%)Duration: Until usedMultiplicative modifier.
  Self-inflict 10% DEF DownDEF is lowered
  Strength: 10%Duration: 1 turn . when  Aether Blast II300%-400% elemental damage to all foes (Damage cap: ~420,000).
  Deals more damage when there are fewer foes. is on cooldown.
•  Laser FocusGain Skill DMG Up (Stackable)Skill DMG is boosted
  Strength: 80%
  (Max: 300%)Duration: Until usedMultiplicative modifier.
  Self-inflict 10% DEF DownDEF is lowered
  Strength: 10%Duration: 1 turn . is the core mechanic of the class, allowing a player to ensure (with enough stacks) that their next skill reaches its damage cap. Such burst is excellent for breaking foes out of overdrive, battles with multiple foes, or stacking/manipulating HP triggers, but loses value in higher-level content where Aether Blast's damage cap is no longer a significant amount of damage

Overall, Hermit is a unique class that will be of different value to each player. It may be worth unlocking early for newbies who feel the area burst will allow them to clear more challenging content, but could just as easily be the lowest-priority Row III class for players who need more consistent, efficient or defensive tools.

•  BounceGreat elemental damage to a foe based on the number of buffs and debuffs the foe has (Damage cap: ~580,000). is effectively  Bullseye Run(100% + 100% per target's debuff) elemental damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~580,000)., so there is no reason to buy it.
•  ChokeAll allies gain Attack AllAttacks each foe
  Duration: 3 turns. can be useful in battles with multiple foes when focusing one is unimportant or nonviable, or in battles where it is important not to focus on one such as Justice; buy when needed.
