Arbalist
Arbalist is a class with high STR and LUC that can equip crossbows. It has skills available for both single and multiple attacks. While primarily a rearguard class, it can also serve as a vanguard depending on its skills. However, due to its low stats in everything except STR and LUC, it is important to consider its defensive capabilities and hit rate. Because crossbows are strong in this game, the Arbalist can be useful as a class that specializes in attack.
