Nightstalker

Male and female Nightstalkers.

Class Description

The Nightstalker (Japanese:ナイトレイダー, lit. "Night Raider") is one of final four general classes available to the player after completing Act 3-7. Excelling in RFX and mobility, this class will see frequent turns and movement in battle. This class also boasts a high counterattack rate and HP recovery per turn, but it's most useful quality is the skill "Illusion" which randomly nullifies ANY attack targeted to the unit (pretty much a combination of Weapon and Magic Block fitted into one skill). It's Originals can see a fair amount of use as well; "Six Shooter" is an extremely strong attack that grows weaker with each use, "Innocent Blow" deals constant damage regardless of the enemy's status, "MP Shift" transfers all the unit's MP into another unit, "Blackout" is a useful Original that cloaks the unit from enemy targeting (though the unit can still be effected by wide-ranged attacks that are indirectly targeting them).

Statistically, the Nightstalker behaves somewhat like a glass cannon with its low HP and attack stats. It's equipment is weak but useful to some extent: Rapiers (unlike the Secutor's AIM improved "Rapiers") reduces the enemy's DEF down to 1/4 when calculating damage and ignores the "Hard" attribute, and Masks grant the unit counterattacking opportunities against Originals.
