Action (Bardsong)
Note: Once a Bardsong is performed, the character will continue to cast the song each time unless it is canceled or a new Bardsong is selected during their Active Turn. An ally will ignore Bardsong if they are inflicted with sleep status.
Seraph Song and Life’s Anthem have a 100% hit rate.
Your evasion rates are ignored while performing a Bardsong.

Magickal Refrain | 50 | 10 | All Allies | 50% chance to increase each ally's Magick Attack by 1. | Hit% = PWR |
Nameless Song | 50 | 10 | All Allies | 50% chance to randomly applies either reraise, regen, protect, shell, or haste status to each ally. | Hit% = PWR |

✨PvP Patch Changes:
The Speed of Bardsong has been significantly reduced so you can get faster casts.
Bardsong now has a range limit of 5 to reinforce needing the Bard to be near allies and for balance purposes.
Your evasion rates now apply instead of being ignored while performing a Bardsong (charging magicks/abilities is still ignored).
The base PWR of most abilities has been lowered to compensate for the new Performing Arts support ability that increases the PWR by an additional 20. This change is to reinforce using Bard or Performing Arts if you plan to use Bardsong (or Dance).
Rousing Melody now grants Haste instead of +1 Speed as a part of balance efforts to reduce the accessibility of Speed bonusing abilities.
Nameless Song can now provide all of its buffs, but Reraise was removed.
Finale no longer provides Quick and instead grants +50 CT on success.

Reaction
Magick Boost (Trigger: HP loss) – Bravery% chance to increase your Magick Attack by 1 after taking damage.
Faith Boost (Trigger: MP-costing ability) – Bravery% chance to increase your Faith by 3 after taking damage from an ability that calculates using Faith.
✨PvP Patch Changes:
Magick Boost – This reaction now increases your Magick Attack by 2 instead of 1 and is also learned on Dancer (so that both genders have access to it).
Faith Boost (Trigger: Always On, MP-costing ability) -This reaction now increases your Faith by 20 and is always active regardless of Bravery. This ability is also learned on Dancer (so that both genders have access to it).
Support
✨PvP Patch Changes:
NEW Performing Arts – Quadruples the PA/MA towards Bardsong/Dance abilities that scale with those stats (Seraph Song, Life’s Anthem, Witch Hunt, Mincing Minuet) and increases the success chance of Bardsong/Dance by 20%.
Movement
Move +3 – Increase Move by 3.
Fly – Ignore height and go over characters and obstacles. Nullifies fall damage.
✨PvP Patch Changes:
Move +3 was removed to lower the accessibility of high Move options.
Fly – This ability also grants +1 Move and Jump in addition to ingoring height and nullifying fall damage.
