We love having a ‘multi-tool’ in our Etrian party, and the Survivalist suits this role perfectly. There’s even an option for healing, albeit by amplifying your items and their potency. If you need some extra damage there also an option for that. If you need a bind of sorts there’s an option for that. The Survivalist achieves this by adapting to whatever situation you’re in. When building a team we like to include a couple of them: Tank, healer, high damage and two supports feels like it’s truly ready for whatever the dungeon can throw at us. There’s just something so satisfying about support classes in Etrian Odyssey Untold, and indeed any of the series’ titles. It’s pretty cheap in the early game too and it might just make the difference. Blinding Curse – Blind isn’t the best debuff going, but you’ll find it very useful throughout regardless.This is the big skill you’ll want to aim for. Suicide Word – Making enemies attack themselves is good on so many levels.Combined with the Protector’s defence buffs it will eliminate any passing concern about physical damage. Sapping Curse – We always pick up a few value points here.

Once you do however, nothing will be able to stand up to you. At first you’ll be thankful of those boss weakening spells, but this will likely be followed by a slight lull in action, as you level up and wait for the juiciest of spells to make themselves available. To actually use one throughout the game is a rather strange experience however. Whilst this particular example of a debuffing class isn’t all powerful like some others, it’s still capable of bringing the most powerful of enemies to their knees. The class is based around debuffing the enemies in a variety of ways, be it by lowering their statistics or by inflicting all manner of other debilitating ailments. We love the Hexer class type in Etrian Odyssey games, especially in Untold.

Of course, that’s far too simple of an explanation for an Etrian Odyssey class, but essentially you’ll be relying on the Ronin to put out big damage no matter the occasion. It’s a class that’s simple in both design and execution: Take a stance then put out huge amounts of damage. The Ronin is your front row, glass cannon damage dealer.
