Bishop (Tactics A2)



Bishop is a Job in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. It is usable exclusively by the Bangaa, and is their only magic-focused Job. You will have to wait one turn to be able to cause some real damage as a Bishop, because all of their damage spells cost more than 10 MP. However, they can learn Halve MP, which reduces MP cost low enough for them to cast everything but Holy and Break in one turn. Due to changes in the Law System in Final Fantasy Tactics A2, the Bishop's Judge skill has been replaced with Pilfer, which steals Loot rather than Judge Points. The Bishop is unlocked with two White Monk skills. Their decent HP and Highest resistance for their race makes them more durable than other magic-focused Jobs. The Bishop's skillset is versatile, able to do moderate elemental damage, hinders foes, and offers support to allies in the brink of battle. With the arrival of the Trickster, it is quite common to give Tricksters the Intercession secondary A-Ability since their superb Magic growth is somewhat counterbalanced by moves that do not take full advantage of the stat.

A notable Bishop is Tromel who supervises the Food Stuffs quest chain as part of his apprenticeship for the Poison tasters guild "The Iron Stomach". As with possibly all members of the guild, he is none too picky about what he eats and seems to enjoy unconventional cuisine.
