I thought it was all based on the number of actions you have during the turn, which I think is 2 at the moment? The way it seems to be be going...

Slayers: Can only attack once normally, but it is potent. Can also use an accessory or an item (got bigger item storage too!). Can use a technique if they got rage for it.

Pokebrids: Like Slayers except they trade in accessory for Paradigm.

Trainer/Snagger: Can attack up to twice if they got two pokemons (Thus their advantage is that they can spread out their attacks even though their attacks are not as powerful as a slayer on a 1:1 basis unless they are buffed or hitting for quad weakness or so.). Can use techniques if they got rage. Can choose to use an item/Snagball instead of attacking.

Demon: A more custom-made class but seems to have the implications of being close to a Slayer in how they can use their actions.


So I'd imagine that with something like Trainer/Slayer, is that they have an additional avenue to how they can spend their actions. They get a boost because they get a powerful Slayer attack on top of a pokemon attack (or any of their other actions). It's not as brute-force powerful as the slayer's later levels of slayer-attacking twice, but it can still have its purposes.

Although... AB, does a Level 3 Overblade with Double Attack attack twice in the same action or does have to use both actions to attack?

As for how trainers/snaggers can be of support if dual-classing with pokebrid or slayer? I'd imagine the pokemons act as a shield protecting the slayer from attacks.

To wit! Every turn, the slayer/trainer can choose:
A: To send out 2 pokemons, leaving him to the back and both his pokemons need to be defeated in the same turn before he can be the target of an attack, much in a manner similar to as if he was a pure trainer.
B: To send out one pokemon and themselves. The pokemon can still attack, but the slayer can attack too and he can't be targeted directly with attacks unless his co-partner is defeated or afflicted with something like sleep that turn. (I'd imagine that AOE might still do a bit of damage)
