Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age / FFXII: TZA - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Knight

The Knight class, representing the zodiac Leo, wield Swords and Greatswords as their primary weapons. Unlike Foebreakers, Knights can keep up a consistent amount of damage especially when given the right buffs. They are also one of the few classes that can wield the Excalibur which is effective against undead monsters.

Unlike most melee classes, the Knight learns a variety of White Magicks. This increases its sustainability in battle, especially in battles that require winning by attrition. Their shield blocks also increase their survivability, making them good “walls” to shield the stronger but squishier classes.

The Knights’ main disadvantage is their lack of speed. Because they have little means to deal with Flying creatures, they excel more in battling ground type monsters.

The best equipment to give a Knight class are the Germinas Boots, the Genji Gloves, or the Hermes Sandals.
