Those who do not wish to grind to master Monk or Samurai can instead grind Berserk for a slightly smaller Strength and Stamina boost, and for much less ABP. Though it does not strictly affect stats, mastering Samurai can also greatly help survivability by providing the Shirahadori support ability, giving a 25% chance to block a physical attack before Evasion is considered. Even though Monk and Thief are mostly physical fighter jobs, increasing Stamina is a great survivability boost, and increasing Agility will greatly help Mimes as turn rate increases help with spellcasting. It is best to master Monk, Thief, and Summoner on all characters who will use Mime.

As such: their maximum Strength modifier (affecting their physical damage) is +26 from Monk, their maximum Agility modifier (affecting their turn rate) is +16 from a Thief, their maximum Stamina modifier (affecting their HP) is +26 from a Monk, and their maximum Magic modifier is either +33 from a Summoner, or +36 from an Oracle in versions with Oracle available. Mimes have the same stats as a character's Freelancer, but also inherit stat boosts from mastered jobs. Each party member sports a different color: Bartz red (blue in the defunct mobile/Steam version), Lenna green, Faris yellow, and Krile pink. The Mime job looks the same as the Freelancer, except each character wears spaulders and a cape.
