Changes: Bishop (Tactics A2)

Revision as of 16:30, 15 January 2020

Template:Sideicon

The bishop is a powerful mage equally skilled in offense, restorative and supportive magicks.
Description

Bishop is a bangaa job in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift and is their only magick-focused job.

Profile

The player will have to wait one turn to be able to cause some real damage as a Bishop, as their damage spells cost more than 10 MP. They can learn Halve MP, which allows for them to cast everything but Holy and Break in one turn.

Due to changes in the law system 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 magick-focused jobs. The Bishop's skillset is versatile, able to do moderate elemental damage, hinder foes, and offer support to allies in the brink of battle. With the arrival of the Trickster, it is common to give Tricksters the Intercession secondary A-Ability since their superb Magick growth is somewhat counterbalanced by moves that do not take full advantage of the stat.

Bishops are the least intimidating as foe if to be judged by their appearance, but can be tough to fight if they have Magick Counter and always cast Dispel, Barrier, and Holy in battle.

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.
