Foebreaker

One of the strongest classes in the game due to its ability to access all four “break” Technicks: Addle, Shear, Wither, and Expose. Its primary weapons are Axes and Hammers, so again, it is best to pair this job with another, such as the Bushi or Shikari, to increase damage.

Esper and Quickening Unlocks

Each Esper and Quickening you unlock is tied to a specific spot on the License Board, and claiming one opens up the licenses around it. The table below shows which extra licenses each Esper makes available on this board, along with the Quickening unlock, so you can decide which character should claim each one.

Esper License Unlocks	Quickening Unlocks
Adrammelech: Battle Lore Belias: Horology Cúchulainn: Shades of Black Exodus: Magick Lores (x4) Famfrit: Magick Lore Hashmal: Swiftness Ultima: Swiftness Zalera: Traveler Zeromus: Magick Lore (x4)	Quickening (100 LP): 390 HP Quickening (125 LP): Battle Lore

Job Pairing Recommendations

The Foebreaker works best when paired with a second job that covers its gaps. A few combinations worth considering:

Combination	Why It Works
Foebreaker / Shikari	The top-ranked combination in the game, pairing the Foebreaker’s four Breaks with the Shikari’s ninja swords and Swiftness Licenses for a nearly unstoppable attacker.
Foebreaker / Bushi	Combines the four Breaks with the Bushi’s fast, Magick-scaling Katanas for a debuffer that still hits hard.
Foebreaker / Monk	Backs the Breaks with the Monk’s huge HP pool and Pole damage for a tanky front-liner.
