Learn all Catmancer abilities in bravely second, including Catmancy, Cat Mastery, Catnap, and how to learn monster abilities.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Level 1: Catmancy - Command ability. Consumes cat food items to use learned monster abilities. Accommodates 13 monster abilities. Notable abilities include White Wind (restores HP equal to user's current HP), Spray (damages one, bypassing Default), and Sonic Boom (damages one, negating Physical Defence). Unlike Bravely Default's Vampire job, this uses cat food items instead of MP or BP. Cat food can be bought from the Adventurer's Shop with upgrades.
  2. 2
    Level 2: Catnap - Command ability. Has a 50% chance of putting each enemy to sleep. Hitting an enemy wakes it up.
  3. 3
    Level 3: Attack Item Amp - Support ability (1 slot). Damage dealt by attack items is increased by 1.5 times.
  4. 4
    Level 4: Dig - Command ability. Obtain a random cat food item during battle. Item availability depends on the location. Can be used to acquire cat food before it's available from the Adventurer's Shop.
  5. 5
    Level 5: Mislead - Command ability. Reduces the user’s chance of being targeted by enemies to the lowest level possible. Useless against enemies that mainly use group-based attacks.
  6. 6
    Level 6: Learning - Support ability (1 slot). As long as one character has this equipped, all party members can learn applicable monster abilities when hit by one. Monster abilities can be used via the Catmancy or Cat Mastery command in battle.
  7. 7
    Level 7: Whisker Sense - Support ability (1 slot). The party’s chance of receiving a first strike or Brave Attack is boosted by 5%. Does not stack if multiple characters have it.
  8. 8
    Level 8: Cat Mastery - Command ability. Consumes cat food items to use learned monster abilities. Allows acquisition of 8 additional monster abilities. Abilities accessed via Cat Mastery can only be learned after at least one character has acquired the Cat Mastery ability. Notable abilities include Death Spiral (hits four random targets with a 50% chance of causing instant death), Dragonlord Strike (inflicts four times damage), Bone Crush (inflicts damage to all foes equal to their lost HP), and Electrolysis (damages all foes and makes them weak to fire).
  9. 9
    Level 9: HP 20% Up - Support ability (1 slot). Increases the user’s Maximum HP by 20%.
  10. 10
    Level 10: Purrfect Stance - Command ability (8 MP). Increases the user’s Physical Defence and Magical Defence to their maximum values for 10 turns. Good against foes that Dispel buffs.
  11. 11
    Level 11: Meow to the Max - Command ability (22 MP). Increases damage dealt by the party’s monster abilities to 150% for 10 turns. Affects the whole party.
Tips
  • To speed up acquiring cat food with the Dig ability, make multiple party members dig at the same time.
  • Combine Purrfect Stance with the Astrologian’s Limit Break to reach 200% Physical Defence and Magical Defence in one action.
  • Whisker Sense can be combined with high Dexterity and/or Agility and accessories to boost the first strike/Brave Attack rate.
  • When using attack items, target an enemy’s elemental weakness to maximize damage, especially with Attack Item Amp equipped.
