Evasion

Physical: 10%
Magical: 15%

Evasion is subtracted from an attacker's accuracy, and facing decides how much of it applies: full from the front, half from the side, and none from behind. Flanking beats dodging.

Reaction, Support & Movement

One of each may be equipped. Unlike actions these are not rolled — they are chosen, and a secondary job never lends them. The one marked Innate is always on for a Bard and never takes the Support slot, so the slot is free for another pick. Every one in the game is on the passives page.

Slot	Name	Effect	JP
Reaction	Encore	Sing through the strike — every ally beside you recovers 15% max HP; fires at half your Brave (triggers at 50% of your Brave)	250
Support	Equip Instruments Innate	Field instruments and cloths, whatever your class	450
Movement	Marching Ballad	A tune for the road — allies beside you recover 5 HP whenever you move	350
