Basch fon Ronsenburg/Gameplay

Final Fantasy XII
Basch has the highest HP growth of all playable characters, and he is tied with Vaan for having the highest Strength. His MP growth, Vitality and Speed are the lowest of the party, and his Magick Power is low as well.

Despite using both his level 1 Quickening (Fulminating Darkness) and dispatching enemies with a bow in the battle at Nalbina Fortress, Basch joins with neither of these licenses.

His default weapon, the Mythril Blade, is not available in shops so the player can never reclaim it if sold. The game ignores Basch's weapon slot in story cutscenes where he wields a weapon, always wielding the Mythril Blade: this is unique to Basch.

Basch is the only character to not speak when performing his Quickenings, only letting out various grunts and cries.

Support character
In Nalbina Fortress.

Initial equipment
As a guest, Basch is not equipped with anything until the player reaches the North-South Junction of Barheim Passage.

Stats

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
Basch has high physical stats, equips heavy armor and helms and wields blades and knightswords, casting him as the party's heavy hitter. He has several defensive abilities as well as powerful attacks, making him similar to a Paladin. His Quickening, Apocalypse Shield, makes his group temporarily invincible. It can be obtained by defeating the Esper Zalera.
