Earthlain

Earthlain (Japanese name Earthrun) is one of the four races for characters in Etrian Odyssey V. They are the most human-like race and the most populous within Arcania, Melas Land. Their stat growth is well-rounded, with their Luck and Vitality growth being the highest among all the races. They boast the best HP growth and worst TP growth of all four races.

Classes

On creation, Earthlain characters can only take Fencer, Dragoon, Pugilist and Harbinger classes. This works to the favour of their stat spread, with their high Vitality and HP allowing them to function well on the front lines, and their great Luck synergizing with the ailment-inducing skills that their default classes gain

Past Level 5, Earthlain characters can change to other classes, though their stat spread makes them ill-suited for magic-oriented classes, leaving Masurao and Rovers as their remaining options. Compared to Therians in those classes, doing so will trade strength and speed for greater durability and better bind/ailment accuracy. Some opt to make the most of their incredible Luck stat by reclassing Earthlain members to Smoke-oriented Botanists.
