Atlus released two more clips from Etrian Mystery Dungeon showing the Wanderer class and turn-based battles. Take a look at both below:

Along with the clips above, we also have the following information about skills:

Special Blast Skill

Gust – Creates a sudden burst of wind that blows enemies around in a given room. It won’t outright defeat them, however.

Representative Skills

Stone – Throws a rock at an enemy within an arc-shaped radius and damages them.
Hunt – An attack that affects any enemies in front of the caster; if the enemy is either a bird or animal type, extra damage is inflicted. A weapon is required in order to cast it.
