Preliminary (5/? eps)
Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None is a refreshing spin on the "banished hero" genre. It moves away from edgy revenge and focuses on the satisfaction of seeing a "jack-of-all-trades" finally get the appreciation he deserves.

The Core Party: Finding Their Roles
The series shines through the chemistry of its primary rookie squad and their elite mentors. Orhun’s versatility perfectly plugs the gaps in his teammates' specialized builds.

Orhun Dula: The tactical backbone. A former support-enchanter who now uses his vast, "average" skill set to become a formidable Battle Mage.
Sophia Clodel: A high-output Mage with devastating attack magic. Initially a "glass cannon" with low self-esteem, she flourishes once she has a reliable frontline.
Caroline Inglot: The party's Defender. Unlike traditional tanks, she is an evasive specialist who uses speed to draw aggro, though her reckless style requires Orhun's precise buffs to stay safe.
Logan Heyward: A rookie Enchanter who is technically gifted but lacks stamina and practical experience. He serves as a foil to Orhun, learning that power is useless without utility.

What Works: A Balanced Skillset

Dynamic Synergy: Seeing a party where everyone respects their support roles is a breath of fresh air compared to the toxic Hero Party.
Tactical Magic: The series treats magic like a complex RPG build, making combat feel earned through strategy rather than just raw power.

What Misses: The "Master of None" Reality

Visual Inconsistency: While the character art is sharp, some dungeon monsters suffer from clunky 3D animation.
Familiar Beats: It doesn't reinvent the wheel. If you’ve seen "kicked from the hero's party" tropes, you'll see the plot points coming from a mile away.

The Verdict
A solid, enjoyable watch that succeeds through a likable protagonist and satisfying party dynamics. It’s a master of being a fun, low-stress fantasy adventure.

Pros: Wholesome party growth, tactical combat, and great character redemption.
Cons: Predictable plot and occasional CG hiccups.

Final Score: 7.5 / 10
