The specialty for Patissier is Prolong Enfeeble.
- Prolong Enfeeble – Status afflictions inflicted by characters with this support ability will last for twice their normal duration.
Level 1
- Bon Appetit – Gives access to a variety of confections to feed enemies. These will either lower their stats, cause status ailments, or make them weak to certain elements.

- You can get these from using the Harvest ability, find them from battles or in dungeons, or buy them from the Adventurer once you’ve unlocked them from the moon base.
Level 2
- Harvest – Gives Confectionery ingredients while in battle. You can do this multiple times, but items vary by location.

Level 11
- Piestorm – Toss 4 pies at random enemies with each lowering a different attribute (P.Atk, P.Def, M.Atk, and M.Def) by 25% for 4 turns.
Cross Job Tips
There are multiple things you can do with Patissier.
- Freelancer is great if you want to build on the Job’s use of items.
- Freelancer’s Waste Not support ability gives you a 50% chance to not consume items and it works with your Bon Appetit abilities.
- Catmancer is you want to use items to attack as well.
- Mixed with the Patissier and Freelancer support abilities, you can deal a lot of damage as well as heal very well using only items.
- This makes it nearly the same as the Salve-maker Job from Bravely Default.
- Magic Jobs. Patissier has a high INT so you can use damaging or support magic as your sub Job to make it even more versatile.
Combat Tips
Patissier is all about crippling the enemy and supporting your team. Items for All is pretty much required since it lets you use those Bon Appetit effects on all enemies at once.
If you are using a tank in your party, this Job is useful even if you only use Decoration, since you can use it on the tank to give them the highest chance possible of being targeted.
Patissier is also good for a healer or elemental damage dealer if you use Glace/Attack Item Amp and Critical Hitter since it greatly increases the effectiveness of items and gives you a chance to crit with them.
