Adele Bossing

Adele is a decent job to play if you're interested in taking down the end-game bosses. She has many fifth job skills which deal lots of damage and can be a great DPSer. She has several i-frame moves that can be activated and a 30-second final damage buff that needs to be maintained during battle for maximum damage output.

Adele Mobbing
