Although the characters you will find in this game are classified into different Octopath Traveler jobs, they can be further equipped with other jobs. So, in our Octopath Traveler jobs guide, we are ready to tell you more about these jobs or classes, their unique features, and many more. So now, let us dive into our Octopath Traveler jobs guide to see how to have a perfect combination of two jobs. 

 

Octopath Traveler Jobs Categories

Here, the players can see eight primary Octopath Traveler jobs in the game: Warriors, Hunters, Apothecaries, Merchants, Thieves, Dancers, Clerics, and Scholars. Once the players progress through the game, they can unlock four advanced jobs; Sorcerer, Starseer, Runelord, and Warmaster. 

 

Each character or the traveler the players encounter in this game has a primary class or job that they are already specialized in, and the players cannot change that job. But other than the primary job every character has, the players can equip them with new Octopath Traveler jobs in this game as a secondary job. 

 

Unlocking Secondary Jobs

The players can unlock different secondary jobs for their travelers simply by discovering shrines for each job. As we said above, there are twelve Octopath Traveler jobs here, meaning the players have to discover 12 shrines to unlock each job. 

 

As of now, you have good knowledge about unlocking a secondary job for the characters, and we thought this was the perfect time to explain all the jobs to you in a more detailed way. So, let us find out the potentials each job has. 

 

Starting Jobs

Warriors

 

The best damage dealers in both single hit and AoE (Area of Effect) are the warriors who wield polearms and swords to gain aid, and this is the job that the players can find as the strongest one with the best physical skills. 

 

Also, the warriors are tanks of the party who absorb all the damage dealt by the opponents who excel in physical skills. The players can unlock this job by finding the Shrine of thunderblade, and when equipping this job as a secondary to another character, we recommend the characters with physical abilities.  

 

Hunters

Hunter wields axes and mostly bows to attack enemies with the lightning element in use, and this job is specialized in destroying the shields of the opponents while exposing them to attacks. Through discovering the Huntress's Shrine, the players can unlock this as a secondary job for a particular traveler. 

 

Since the hunter is famous for its aggressive playstyle dealing physical damages, we recommend equipping this job to the character who is good at physical abilities. 

 

 

Apothecaries

Apothecaries are the ones who excel in using ice elements while healing and reviving their teammates. Their ultimate weapon used to attack enemies is the ax, and the players who love to unlock this as a secondary job have to discover the healer's Shrine first. 

 

Since this is an excellent job at both attack and healing, it's better not to rush to equip this to a character before analyzing the character's skills. 

 

 

Merchants

Players will gain support and attack abilities if they equip this job to a character. The merchants are travelers who specialize in automatically using the magic element, wind. 

 

Although the Merchants are one of the best jobs which give the upper hand in every battle, it cannot be equipped to any traveler you will meet in this game without considering the character skills. Because of its fair balance between support and offense abilities, the players must consider the best characters qualified to wield this Merchant's powers as a secondary job. 

 

To unlock this job, the players must discover the Shrine of the trader, and the default weapons for this job are bows and polearms. 

 

 

Thieves

Thief is a job with supportive skills and attacking abilities, and the thief is a fire element user. The primary weapons of the thief are the sword and the dagger, and this job can only be unlocked by finding the Shrine called prince of thieves. 

 

One of the specialities of this job is that it can decrease opponents' attributes by debuffing, and thieves can rob opponents' health points and share them with their teammates. 

 

 

Dancers

This is the job that the players can find with the dark element while having the skills to increase the stats of the teammates through performing buffs, and the players have to find the Shrine of the lady of the grace to unlock this to equip a character as a secondary job. 

 

Since the Dancers act as supporters in this game, it's better to equip this job with a supporting character or a character who excels at magic. 

 

 

Clerics

This job gives travelers the ability to heal, and this job can be equipped as a secondary job by discovering the Shrine of Flamebearer. Clerics specialize in healing with light magic damaging skills and can also increase the healing according to their elemental defense statistics. 

 

The default weapon of clerics is called Staves which also contributes to the character by increasing attacking stats. Also, clerics are the best ones to take into fights against the characters aimed at magic (magic oriented), and this job is recommended to equip the characters who act as supporters. 

 

 

Scholars

The players can unlock this job as a secondary by visiting the sage Shrine. This job allows travelers to deal with Area of Effect (AoE) damage while using lighting, fire and ice elements. 

 

The weapon type that Scholars wield is the Staves, and they excel in battles when they participate against opponents who are inferior to Fire, Ice or Lightning elements. Still, they will be somewhat fragile when fighting against superior opponents for the abovementioned elements. 

 

 

When you equip this as a secondary job for some character, we recommend equipping this job for the characters who are aimed for magic. 

 

Below is a chart showing the best character recommendations to equip each starting job as secondary jobs, so study it and have a good idea about providing these Octopath Traveler jobs as secondaries.
