Rover

Hunters skilled in archery. Works with hunting animals to attack and bind foes.

—Class description, Etrian Odyssey V

Rovers, known as Hounds (ハウンド) in Japanese, are one of the new classes introduced in Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth. They have the ability to summon wolves or falcons and can perform attack skills, which the summon will follow up upon.

Animal Companions

The Hound and Hawk have unique stat progressions that depend on the level of the Rover who summons them. They receive a bonus to their stats depending on the level of the summoning Rover's "Whistle" skill. There is nothing preventing a Rover from commanding both types of animal companions at the same time, provided their skill points permit sufficient investment to make both effective.

Hawk

Hawks, if under no commands, will perform a ranged cut attack a random enemy, with a chance of binding its head.

Hounds, if under no command, will heal the most injured ally, determined at the start of the round. If everyone is at full health it will default to healing itself.
