Time Battlemage
The Time Battlemage gains access to all levels of Time Magick, including 
Hastega and Reflectga. They rely on Crossbows to deal regular damage unless you pair this job with another of the available jobs. It gets access to 
Decoy (and some other Green Magicks) as well. It is pretty often best paired with the Knight, the Monk, or the White Mage (to create the ultimate support character).
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.

Job Pairing Recommendations
The Time Battlemage works best when paired with a second job that covers its gaps. A few combinations worth considering:
| Combination | Why It Works |
|---|---|
Time Battlemage /  Shikari |
Adds Haste and other Time Magick to the Shikari’s fast ninja-sword offense, with Heavy Armor for survivability. |
Time Battlemage /  Knight |
Combines Time Magick support with the Knight’s Strength, greatswords, and shields for a durable battlemage. |
Time Battlemage /  Foebreaker |
Pairs battlefield control with the four Breaks for a debuff-heavy disruptor. |
