Evasion

Physical: 25%
Magical: 10%

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 Shadowblade 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	Speed Save	Quicken when struck — gain Speed Up; fires at half your Brave (triggers at 50% of your Brave)	300
Support	Equip Bags	Field bags and knives — whatever is in it, it was not meant to be swung	400
Support	Killer Instinct	Critical hits come 10% more often — with steel or with spellwork	500
Support	Opportunist Innate	Flank and back attacks hit even harder	500
Movement	Second Story	End a move beside an enemy and pick their pocket for 1-2 JP	400
