Bravely Default 2 Swordmaster Job Overview
Solid Stance is insanely good. It doubles your damage for 0 MP. In addition to that, its actual damaging abilities (Fourfold Flurry and Ninefold Flurry) are extremely powerful. Much more powerful than any of the skills on offer by other physical damage jobs you have when the Bravely Default 2 Swordmaster becomes unlocked.

In Bravely Default 2 Swordmaster is easily one of the premiere physical attack jobs. If you give it Indiscriminate Rage (Berserker), it can pretty much end every encounter for the rest of the game on its first turn.

Chapter Unlocked: 3

Upgrade Location: Halls of Tribulation III

Specialties

Redoubled Effort
The more BP the user has, the more damage inflicted when regular attacks and swordmaster counterattacking abilities are performed.
