Additionally, under the “Abilities” section, you can equip a “sub-job”. For example, I can assign Gloria the White Mage job as her main-job, but if I changed her into a Black Mage, she can equip her learned White Mage as a “sub-job” (this is known as a “Secondary Job”).
Abilities
Every Job in Bravely Default has abilities that are active (and sometimes passive). You can only use the active abilities and passive abilities you’ve already learned. You can also equip a main-job and a sub-job. By equipping a sub-job along along with a main-job, you can use both active abilities from the main-job and the sub-job you have equipped. Any job EXP (JP) earned from battle will be counted towards the main-job equipped.
Passive (green) abilities, once unlocked for a character, can be assigned regardless of that character’s current job. Each ability costs 1 to 4 points to equip, and can be placed in the Abilities page. You can choose to mix and match passive abilities gained from any job you have unlocked. For example, a White Mage can equip their “Solar Powered” Passive Ability (learned at level 5), and the Black Mage “Lunar Powered” Passive Ability (learned at level 5) to maximize MP regeneration in combat.
Some abilities help you in battle, while others only work when walking along the world map or in dungeons. Some abilities can be combined for devastating combos and others are great for restorative purposes and sustain in battle.
