	Note that, despite being described as "agile" and "light", Tengu do not get any special bonus from the [[Dodging]] skill, nor is there a direct synergy for playing an EV-reliant build. It is true that [[Acrobat]]ic and Evasive Flight grant a large amount of [[EV]]; however, these bonuses are unaffected by skill, [[Armour encumbrance]], or [[Dexterity]]. Therefore, wearing heavy armour is not out of the question. [[Wu Jian Council]] makes for a natural pairing with Tengu's multiple auxiliary attacks that will trigger during Wu's martial combat.

	Tengu are a versatile, but frail species. Their aptitudes are good across the board, with impeccably good skill in Conjurations ~~and~~ Air Magic. And with 2 [[auxiliary attack]]s, melee is also reasonable. However, Tengu are among the most fragile species in the game: they have low HP and can't wear helmets or boots.

			Tengu also make for one of the best Summoners with their better-than-average aptitude and the bonus EV while waiting (something summoners often do). This synergy combines especially well with [[Summon Seismosaurus Egg]], a spell that most other species can find difficult to "hatch". Dancing around the egg while your other summons do damage and body block makes this otherwise clunky spell shine.
