New Class Skills
Ranger

• Spellshot Sigil; Passive skill. Turning the shot into spell energy, the Ranger is capable of using their well-placed shots to amplify the Arcane. When you score a critical hit with a Bow weapon, you generate 1 Annorum charge.
  

Kensei

• Zen Blade; Passive skill. Calm your center and restore strength. When using Sheath Sword with more than 3 Momentum, you recover 15 FP per Momentum point exceeding 3 (IE, 4 Momentum would restore 15 FP, 7 Momentum would restore 60 FP.) After activating, this effect has a 3 round cooldown, unless Kensei is both your main class and sub class.
  

Monk

• Ki Blast; Offensive skill. Concentrate your ki into a small projectile blast. Uses 5 Ki. Targets 1 enemy within 6 Range and performs a basic attack on them with your Fist weapon, which deals magic damage. If Ki Awoken is active, the damage is increased by 15% and is done over 3 hits. 1 round CD.
  

Dancer

• Doble Pirouette; 1M. 2 round CD. Dance skill. A simple dance move to improve flexibility. Targets 1 unit within 5 Range. You, and any other unit you target, spin in place one time, and gain Doble Pirouette LV 10 until your next turn. (+1 Attack Range, +1 Range for Double Dance's Attacks, +LV Evade)
  

Martial Artist

• Crack Joints; Spend a moment to crack your knuckles, your neck, and all that good stuff. Grants Loosened Body LV X (based on Rank, +LV Evade, Crit Evade, Power, LV5 at max rank) for 5 rounds.

Archer

• Guerilla Tactics; Passive skill, Max SP 3. Attacks made while you are in a Nest have increased Critical (based on Rank). If you have used the Move skill in the same round while this skill's effects are active, critical hits have a chance to inflict Confusion LV5 for 2 rounds.
  

Curate

• Dhessence; Create a vitality-stealing burst of darkness that hits 1 enemy within 5 Range, dealing Dark magic damage to them. If it hits, you recover HP (based on Rank). If the target was weak to Dark damage, you recover 50% more. (1 round CD, Max SP 3, HP Heal: 1 + 3 x Rank)
  

Priest

• Blackened Faith; Passive skill. Sometimes, we put our faith in unorthodox sources. For Priest spells, spells that utilize Light ATK and deal Light damage are changed to use Dark ATK and deal Dark damage respectively (there is no change to the scaling values). Some Invocations may also be altered in a similar way, if they deal with Light ATK or Light damage.
  

Grand Summoner

• Grand Repertoire; Innate skill. Main class only. The Grand Summoner earns their 'Grand' title, if for no other reason but numbers. Increases the number of active Youkai contracts you have by 1.
