Practice Mode

Practice Mode is a type of mode that allows one to test a character/job in play before obtaining it in-game.

Basic Information
During the standard training, the players fight another character that acts as a dummy, doing absolutely nothing except getting demolished, with the exception of Aegis Knight who is able to make the dummy attack. However, they have an extreme health regeneration rate, but all characters are fitted with a base stat of 100/100/100. Of course, the type of the opponent can be chosen.

Practice Mode can be used to help one self practice at a certain character or at a certain map, which can help one excel battle on multiple terrains. However, the Temple of Fire and the Christmas Babel areas cannot be chosen.

Previously in Season 2, the class must be obtained first before practicing it. However, this rule was neglected in foreign areas.

Prior to Season 3, it allows all classes to be played without unlocking.

Skill Trees cannot be played/tested at Season 2, but later, Season 3 patches this.

Season 3 Short Descriptions
In Season 3, all characters/jobs had their own short descriptions, giving small hints and data on what the said class might perform. This was removed in Season 5, however.

Trivia

 * When playing as the Aegis Knight, the [[Image:S.PNG|16px]] command allows the target to do the first hit of his/her combo. This is to practice the Aegis Knight's Block, as it requires an offensive target.
 * According to the old Season 3's Screen, it seems that a total of thirteen playable characters were planned to be created. This has since been revised.
 * There are many errors, typos, or notes about the short descriptions.
 * All the 4th jobs say "Character's 4th Job" instead of just the 4th job's name. The exception is for the Starlet, where it mentions both the statement and the name.
 * The Crossbowman's description mistakes bolts for arrows, as Crossbow-type weapons shoots out bolts.
 * Nova's description does not capitalize the first letters of the Crossbow and the Composite Bow, yet the Great Bow is capitalized. The same applies to the Thief's and Dragon Knight's description, where Dagger/Glaive is not capitalized.
 * The description of Alchemist is very vague, claiming her to be one of the most powerful classes with describing nothing about her abilities; the description is likely showing favoritism.
