All Classes & How To Unlock Them in Visions of Mana

Visions of Mana features multiple playable characters, all with unique Classes that you can freely swap whenever you’re not in a battle. Here’s how you can get all of them and their notable special skills.

All Available Classes in Visions of Mana

Each character can be attuned to eight different classes depending on their elements, giving us a total of 45 playable classes when including the bases. Each elemental class has its own skill tree (the Elemental Plot) and requires a certain Elemental Vessel to equip. However, if you’re already using the wind Elemental Vessel on Val, for example, you cannot use it on Careena and vice versa.

Characters have three types of weapons, and they’re used exclusively while the character is in a certain class. Active skills can be used in any class once they’re learned, while passive skills will only be available while the character has that class active. Passives with a weapon icon are available on every job that uses that weapon, though.

Your Elemental Break becomes stronger as you level up that specific class. Leveling up a class requires Elemental Points, obtained by leveling up or interacting with Elemental Aeries around the map. Each character also needs to expand their Plot with their own Tonic item, usually obtained after defeating bosses.

How to Unlock New Classes in Visions of Mana

To unlock new Classes, you must equip the appropriate Elemental Vessels to your characters. These are all unlocked as you go through the main story, usually when you find a new Alm for the convoy.

• Sylphid Boomerang (Wind): Obtained once Careena joins the party during Chapter 1.
• Luna Globe (Moon): Found on Lefeya Drifts alongside Morley in Chapter 1.
• Undine’s Flask (Water): Obtained during your first visit to Illystana in Chapter 2.
• Salamando Candle (Fire): Obtained during your visit to the Free City of Tsaata in Chapter 4.

There’s no definitive class to use, so pick whichever you enjoy the most as your make your way through the game. Elemental advantages are quite useful, though, so consider these before choosing which class you’ll be using for the next fight. You may also choose to grind a bit if you need some extra Elemental Points, as leveling up isn’t hard at all.

Visions of Mana is available on PC, Xbox and Playstation.
