| Name | Type | Description | Function | Abilities | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commando | Combat Role | The damage role, and the one that cashes in the work the rest of the party does. | Physical and elemental damage | Single-target burst damage Bonus damage inside the Stagger window | Cloud Squall Victoria | Inherited from the Final Fantasy XIII paradigm role set |
| Breaker | Combat Role | The role Resonance adds to the paradigm set. | Stagger gauge pressure | Stagger Power +30% passives Break-focused attack chains | Aileen Bartz Clive Firion Tronn Y'shtola | Resonance-specific role built around the Stagger system |
| Sentinel | Combat Role | The protection role. Sentinels pull attacks off the rest of the party, and the good ones convert the damage they absorb into resources: Rain's Multi-Cover takes hits for every ally and charges his Limit Break while he does it. | Tanking, cover and mitigation | Multi-Cover, taking attacks for all allies Damage mitigation and guard stances Limit Break charge from damage taken | Rain Warrior of Light Cecil Wilhelm Charlotte | Inherited from the Final Fantasy XIII paradigm role set |
| Medic | Combat Role | The healing role, and the scarcest one on the launch roster: only two Visions fill it, Leah in the opening hours and Ayaka at the very end of the unlock order, with Fina covering it in the hero slot once she joins. | Healing and status recovery | Cure and higher white magic Libra enemy scanning Party-wide healing finishers | Fina Leah Ayaka | Inherited from the Final Fantasy XIII paradigm role set |
| Saboteur | Combat Role | The disruption role, inherited from Final Fantasy XIII and kept in Resonance as the answer to bosses whose damage or defence would otherwise outscale the party. | Debuffs and status ailments | Defence and resistance debuffs Status ailment application | Vision-dependent; no fixed launch list | Inherited from the Final Fantasy XIII paradigm role set |
| Synergist | Combat Role | The buff role. Synergists raise the party's stats and keep the Stagger window productive, which is what makes Nichol one of the two best characters in launch tier lists despite doing almost no damage himself. | Party buffs and enhancement | Party-wide stat buffs Elemental enhancement for allies | Nichol | Inherited from the Final Fantasy XIII paradigm role set |
