Holy Knight (Tactics)



Holy Knight is a special Job class in Final Fantasy Tactics. It is Agrias Oaks's default Job class, and focuses on swords and techniques that cause heavy damage from afar. Holy Knights are the game's equivalent of the Paladin, but lack the defensive qualities usually associated the Paladin class, instead, focusing on the offense. It costs 3,350 JP to master this Job.

Delita has the Holy Knight Job class from Chapter 2 onwards, with the addition of Chant. Wiegraf is a White Knight with the same skillset, excluding Divine Ruination.

The Holy Knight's Job Command, Holy Sword, contains powerful moves that deal damage and inflict an ailment to the targets without the requisite of charging time or MP. Like all Swordplay skills, the user must be equipped with a sword or a knight sword in order to use them.

Despite its name and the in-game help message, all Holy Sword skills do not associate with holy-elemental (nor lightning-elemental for Hallowed Bolt). Instead, the elemental quality is dependent on the user's equipping weapon, primarily the one on the right hand. The game AI still mistakenly regards them, including Hallowed Bolt, as holy-elemental, and will not use them if the target is immune against holy.
