Knocked Out

Being Knocked Out, or commonly refered to as KO'd or KOed, is the condition a unit is in when they have run out of Hit Points. Whenever this occurs, the unit "faints" and is no longer able to aid in battle. White Mage abilities such as Life, Life 2, and the item Phoenix Down can revive a unit who is knocked out. Other job classes may have skills that revive units like the Sage's Raise or the White Monk's Revive.

Knock Outs usually result in the award of AP to increase the power of units, which is why it is critical to keep units alive to score KOs to increase their abilities. In Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, KOing a unit results in the awarding of one Judge Point.

KOs can be prevented by the use of items such as Potions and White Mage skills such as Cure and Cura that restore HP. Also, bestowing a unit with Life 3 will automatically revive them in the case of a KO.
