This article is in need of a few pictures. Perhaps you can help by uploading a picture of replacing with iOS/Android screenshots on tables and GBA screenshots should be in the gallery.

Support abilities[]
Name | Equipment | Description | Image |
---|---|---|---|
Doublehand | Gauntlet | The character cannot equip a shield, but the strength of their equipped weapon doubles. Sabin's claws, Setzer's dice, and some special weapons, are not affected by Doublehand. Gau is unaffected as he cannot equip weapons. | |
Dual Wield | Genji Glove | Allows a character to equip and attack with two weapons at once. It is possible to equip a weapon and a shield while this is applied, though this is pointless. Gau is unaffected as he cannot equip weapons. | |
Counter | Black Belt | Randomly makes the wearer counter-attack with an attack of their own on the attacking enemy. | |
Cover | Knight's Code | The wearer intercepts physical attacks against allies in Critical status. If multiple characters are equipped with Knight's Code, multiple characters will cover the ally, and a random covering character will take the damage. | |
Half MP | Gold Hairpin | Halves MP costs for Magic spells, Lores, and Summons by half. Umaro can equip this relic, but the ability is useless on him since he cannot use magic. | |
One MP Cost | Celestriad | Makes all Magic spells, Lores, and Summons cost 1 MP. Umaro cannot equip this relic, but even if he did, the ability would be useless on him since he cannot use magic. | |
Auto-Reflect | Reflect Ring | The wearer will be under permanent Reflect status. | |
Auto-Protect | Protect Ring | The wearer will be under permanent Protect status. | |

The only exceptions are relics, female equipment, costumes, Ultima Weapon (SNES only), Bone Club, Royal Crown, and Snow Scarf. In the SNES version, Merit Award can be equipped by anyone, but in the PlayStation version, the Merit Award cannot be equipped by Gau, and in the GBA and following releases, this is extended to Gogo. | |

Dummied support abilities[]
The following abilities exists in the game's data, but it is not associated with any piece of equipment. It can be place on any equipment by using a cheating device.
Name | Equipment | Description | Image |
---|---|---|---|
Auto-Slow | None | Would put the wearer under permanent Slow status. | |
Once Critical, always Critical | None | When a character falls into Critical state, s/he will stay in Critical state regardless of the amount of HP that character gained or subtracted after fallen into Critical. This would have allowed said character to be fully healed and remain in Critical status until the end of battle, allowing the character a chance to preform a Desperation Attack without putting that character at risk of being KO'd due to having low HP. | |
SOS Reflect | None | It would have automatically put the user in Reflect status when the wearer's HP reach Critical. This ability will only activate once per battle. |
