FFT Support Ability Icon

Support abilities (サポートアビリティ, Sapo-to Abiriti?) in Final Fantasy Tactics are learned via Job Points. Each character can equip one support ability. Support abilities usually only let a character equip things that their current job will not allow, though they do provide abilities that can protect them in certain circumstances, as well as provide some stat boosts.

Dummied content[]

CT 0 is a dummied ability that still has a JP cost assigned to it. Its effect while equipped removes the charge time from every abilities. No units make use of the ability, and it appears more to be a debug tool than an ability intended to be in the game.
