A martial artist that relies on hand-to-hand combat and medical skills. God Hands are aptly named, providing both healing succor and raw destruction with little but their hands. They also inflict “God Depth” on enemies with their abilities, letting them connect even stronger attacks, and can even strengthen their allies.
”
— Website description.
"A combatant versed in martial and medicinal arts", God-Hand is one of the eight classes of 7th Dragon III Code: VFD. It is based on the present timeline and available from the start.
God-Hand is considered the successor of Destroyer with lower defenses but added medical and stat enhancement capabilities.
God-Hand is very strategic and reliable. Their main focus lies in dealing massive physical damage while having average physical and magic defenses. They're expert in hand-to-hand combat and use fists and knuckles as weapons. Their attacks inflict a special effect called God-Depth, which can grow up to G3 and lasts for 3 turns. The higher God-Depth the enemy has, the more powerful God-Hand skills can be used. They also have medical and useful stat buff skills.
Strategy[]
God-Hand's main offensive output is dependent on stacking God-Depth on their enemies. They have no AoE attacks and are therefore most suited for single-target encounters such as bosses and dragons. Because their low MN pool, it is recommended to invest in MANA Bonus at some point to alleviate this.
The main offensive skills to invest in are Drill Crawler and Coup de Grace, which is considered the bulk of God-Hand's damage output. Jab and Front Punch are also good for setting up God-Depth: Jab has lower overall damage but places 2 God-Depth at full investment, immediately enabling higher tiered skills, while Front Punch deals higher damage and no G-restriction at full investment. God React is a very useful skill as it has a chance to grant extra turns when setting up God-Depth, allowing more flexibility to support the party or get extra damage in. Double Hook and Spinning Edge offer decent damage as well as support by debuffing enemies, though if you want to make the most of them a full investment in Jab is recommended.
While the God-Hand is indispensable for their innate ability to heal in the early parts of the game, bear in mind that all their healing skills are single-target, which pales in comparison to Rune-Knights, Mages and Fortuners. This becomes more apparent when facing bosses with attacks that hit the entire party. The one edge they have over other healers is that their healing skills always have priority, allowing them to save someone from the brink of death.
Party Combinations[]
In inactive parties, the God-Hand plays a vital support role. Their support skill will heal the active party without expending any resources–perfect for boss fights. Their Buddy skill is less useful though, dealing damage and healing a small amount to only one party member.
Rune-Knight: A supportive God-Hand can pair well with a tank-oriented Rune-Knight. While the Rune Knight draws attacks to themselves and take a brunt from the attacks, the God-Hand can quickly heal them back up before the enemy acts again. Landing Double Hook on enemies and using DEF Acupressure will reduce the damage the Rune-Knight takes, which in turn reduces the number of turns spent healing. ATK Acupressure also allows the Rune-Knight to deal even higher damage with Brave Sword.
Mage: If the God-Hand is built as a tanky counterattack machine using Ambush Stance and Anti-Ailment, veils are very handy in dealing extra damage. The Mage can as well heal the God-Hand and remove their status ailments.
Banisher: Like Rune-Knight and their Brave Sword, a supportive God-Hand with ATK Acupressure allow the Banisher to hit harder with Earthquake. SPD Acupressure can also be used to mitigate their low speed.

Trivia[]
The official names of the God-Hand class members are Rangelow (Male A), Sakaki (Male B), Aogiri (Female A) and Chieri (Female B).
Aogiri bears a striking resemblance to Aoi Unose from 7th Dragon 2020, and Shirow Miwa confirmed in a tweet that Aogiri, was directly inspired by Aoi's design.[1]
Female God-Hand A-1 is a playable character in the demo under her default name Aogiri.
