Knight (Final Fantasy V)

The Knight is a job in Final Fantasy V, which is given to you after the Wind Crystal shatters.

Appearance
As knights, the entire party dress pretty much how you would expect a knight to dress; clad completely in armor. The men wear red armor, whilst the women wear blue. Krile goes for the completely pink look however.

Abilities

 * Job Command - Guard
 * Innate Abilities - Cover
 * Equipment - Short Sword, Sword

The knight's main ability, Guard, means that until their next turn, they will take no damage whatsoever from physical attacks. Their innate ability, Cover, will automatically make the knight take all physical damage for all critical allies, unless the knight itself is in a critical condition. Combining its command and innate ability means that your team will become invincible, providing your three other characters are critical, and your enemy uses nothing but physical attacks.
