Evasion

Physical: 5%
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 Arcanist 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	Absorb MP	Drain MP from the attacker on hit; fires at half your Faith (triggers at 50% of your Faith)	250
Reaction	Magic Counter	Counter with same-tier spell; fires at half your Faith (triggers at 50% of your Faith)	300
Support	Arcane Battery Innate	Maximum MP +50%	550
Support	Equip Rods	Field rods, whatever your class	450
Support	Magic Attack UP	Magic damage dealt +25%	400
Movement	Teleport	Teleport to any tile in range (teleport)	500
