Ranger class series

The Ranger class series is a tri-elemental class series available to the Jupiter Adepts Ivan and Sheba, the Mercury Adepts Mia and Piers, and to a lesser extent, the Mars Adepts Garet and Jenna. Mars and Mercury Djinn are required for the Jupiter Adepts to become this class, while Mars and Jupiter Djinn are required for the Mercury Adepts. The ability to access this class by Mars Adepts is a vastly overlooked quirk in The Lost Age, and requires Mercury and Jupiter Djinn.

This class series's Djinn cadence is similar in structure to the Ninja, Dragoon, and Medium class series. In terms of Psynergy, it mixes together the Jupiter and Mercury Ascetics, sacrificing the Plasma, Prism, and Wish series for the privilege of having three elements of wide-range attack Psynergy available at once.

The class series, when at its highest stage of Warlock and compared to the other series at their highest respective stages, has excellent Agility (tying with the Wizard and surpassed only by the Master) and very high PP, and average HP and Attack, but lower Defense. The series has high Luck. Noteworthy Psynergy from an endgame perspective includes Ward/Resist and Break, and the heaviest area-of-effect Psynergy it has is Pyroclasm. Average stats from an endgame perspective are 155% (162% if you don't factor in Luck).

Analysis
While lacking the hard-hitting Psynergy like Prism and Plasma of the White Mage class series, the Ranger Class series has three offensive, damage dealing Psynergy series in three elements (Douse, Slash, and Volcano), a boast that can't be made by any other Tri-Elemental class series available to Jupiter and Mercury adepts (the Medium and White Mage classes). On top of that, the Ranger's PP pool will tend to last a very, very long time with Pyroclasm being the most expensive Psynergy weighing in at a paltry 29 PP.

The average attack stat can be further augmented by Piers or Ivan and their ability to wield stronger weapons (long swords and light blades respectively) than the other Mercury and Jupiter adepts.

The Ranger class series might be one of the best classes (if note the best) for Piers, given that he is more warrior oriented like Isaac and Felix, yet most of his classes are caster oriented like the Hermit and White Mage. From his mono-elemental mariner class, he loses some health, but his defense is a little better and his PP and Agility stats are significantly better, all the while maintaining the same attack and luck.

It should be noted that the Ranger series is the only Tri-elemental class series that has Break, although it is learned later than other classes (34 as opposed to every other class which learns it at 30) and the only Tri-elemental that has Bind.
