For the character guide in Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy, characters are divided into four main roles based on their playstyle:

1. Melee (Close-Range Attack)

Focused on dealing heavy damage at close range and interrupting enemies.

• Cloud Strife (FFVII): Highly recommended for beginners due to his easy controls, simple combos, and strong boss damage output.
• Gaia (FFXIV): A semi-tank character who can buff her own speed and defense while applying debuffs that slow enemies. A key technique is using Spell-in-Waiting to slow targets before following up with heavy combos.
• Kain Highwind (FFIV): Known for his signature Jump ability, allowing him to leap into the air and crash down with powerful area-of-effect (AoE) attacks.

2. Ranged (Long-Range Attack)

Focused on dealing damage from a safe distance and controlling the battlefield.

• Terra Branford (FFVI): A powerful mage with the passive ability Half-Esper, enhancing her magic attacks at range.
• Rinoa Heartilly (FFVIII): Uses a wrist-mounted projectile weapon and fights alongside her companion dog, Angelo.
• Prompto Argentum (FFXV): A firearms and machinery specialist capable of sustained ranged attacks.

3. Agile (High Mobility)

Focused on speed, crystal control, and hit-and-run tactics.

• Lightning (FFXIII): Utilizes the Paradigm Shift system to switch combat roles, allowing fast engagement and repositioning.
• Zidane Tribal (FFIX): Acts as a thief with the unique ability to steal Bravery points directly from enemies.

4. Support

Focused on buffs, healing, and increasing team Bravery gain.

• Warrior of Light (FFI): A team leader who boosts attack power and reduces incoming damage for allies.
• Krile Mayer Baldesion (FFV): Specializes in support magic, healing, and boosting Bravery gain to accelerate Burst Mode.

Upcoming Characters

In addition to the initial roster, more characters are planned for future updates, including:

• Clive Rosfield (FFXVI) – Melee
• Balthier (FFXII) – Ranged
• Rikku (FFX) – Agile

These characters are expected to be added to the game in upcoming updates.
