Strategist

The Strategist, also called Tactician, is one of the many role-playing subclasses in Elder Tale.

Overview
Players with this subclass were very common in raid guilds, where they could support their allies with their skills and watch over the battlefield. Some of their skills allow them to be excellent timers.

Tacticians are experts in strategy, especially military strategy. The subclass is information-gathering and large-scale-battle-adapted, with most of its skills made for battlefield investigation (time, distance and enemies’s abilities). While the results are great, the data thus acquired are only useful for foreplanning strategy, so it is useless or redundant for players who use online sites to plan their raids. It is therefore considered one of the rarest and most unfavorable subclasses.

After the Catastrophe, the number of opportunities to participate in raids has decreased (due to lack of people willing to participate in them), causing many Tacticians to switch subclasses.

In the theldesian society, the number of Strategists is so little that statistics can’t be collected about them, and there are only a handful of them currently active in Yamato. It is because only the best children of nobles, soldiers and scholars can aspire to become Tacticians after proving their talents. They often assist their sovereign by providing advice on political and military affairs.

There are more details about this subclass in Log Horizon Wednesday Vol. 28.
