Usefulness

The Bard is quite frail and should be put in the back rows. Its only use is to make the Teen Idol and then a Summoner. It takes some time to make a summoner and so has to be started as soon the player clears Dharma. However, the rewards are great.

The hybrid skills aren't particularly worth getting as there are similar skills that do the same thing.
