If they have magical abilities, they will probably be fond of shapeshifting from one sneaky form to the next. Outsmarting one of these characters is next to impossible, but brains aren’t the only weapon in their arsenal. Tricksters are, of course, well known for their scheming brains. When animals appear as Tricksters, they are usually small predators like foxes or coyotes. What they lack in brawn, they make up for with their agility and their expressive faces. They are usually male characters, a little bit on the small side but attractive nevertheless. Still, there are some norms about the appearance of these social deviants. They can be men, gods, magical creatures, or animals, as the qualities that unite them come from their personality, not their physical appearance. Tricksters come in all forms, shapes, and sizes. These slippery characters don’t set out to save the world. They may lie, cheat, or steal to get what they want, and their ends don’t justify their means. Unlike heroes, Tricksters are usually morally questionable. Like heroes, Tricksters usually come out of their adventures unscathed, having won the prize they desired and upset the regular social order in a way that will cause lasting effects for the people around them.

Pygmalion is a clan of Tricksters that not only bestows this unique job class after the player defeats them, but also appears in auctions and a Bonga Bugle quest, time and again proving a nuisance. One of the four bosses of Duelhorn, the Night Dancer, is an androgynous bangaa Trickster. The Trickster is the only job that wields cards. This class is at a disadvantage against units immune to debuffs (via Cachusha, Barette, Ribbon, or the Impervious passive ability). Since Ultima's damage is based on the user's Magick stat, Tricksters can do higher damage than most of the bangaa's other classes, and with a better range and Half MP as support, the Trickster can deal massive damage at long range every two turns. A popular secondary A-Ability is the Gladiator's Sparring moveset, which grants elemental damage and the bangaa's Ultima attack. Unusual for bangaa, the Trickster job features an excellent Speed and Magick growth, but with the downfall of very low MP.

They use cards as weapons, allowing them to attack from a range, and their skills primarily revolve around inflicting statuses. The Trickster ( トリックスター, Torikkusutā ?) is a job for the bangaa in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.
