Assessment

The Nekomancer is a hybrid class with two distinct playstyles depending on whether or not  Cat's MeowGain Cat's MeowUsing MP to gain buffs
. Sharp boost to allies' stats (Consumes 3 MPMagic power is amplified
 every turn / Hit to caster's stats for 3 turns when Cat's Meow ends on recast or when MPMagic power is amplified
 is 0). is active. When the skill is active, the class becomes a team buffer, offering a wide set of virtually undispellable stats to the entire party. When the skill is inactive, the class becomes a selfish attacker, with the ability to hit all enemies with bonus damage and dishes out strong charge attacks. Regardless of the playstyle, however, the Nekomancer is a fairly micro-intensive unit as it relies on proper management of the charge bar and its unique status, the MPMagic power is amplified
.

More mundanely, the Nekomancer can also be seen as direct upgrade of the Mystic, and can be used similar to the class for farming content on auto, such as Angel Halo.

As the Nekomancer is only proficient to staff weapons, it has a more limited amount of weapon options compared to other staff-class counterparts, the Warlock, Sage, and Monk classes. Still, it does have access to a few good weapons. The best option is its class weapon, the Lunatic Broom, which is a superb main hand due to making MPMagic power is amplified
 management more efficient. The non-upgraded version, the Kapilavastu is also a decent option, especially when using  Fate ForeseenConvert entire charge bar to MPMagic power is amplified
. as the method of regaining MPMagic power is amplified
. Other examples include Hollowsky Staff, Ultima Staff, Obscuritas and True Glacial Dream Staff.
