Ramza is the central figure in Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, and he’s essential to every story battle. If he dies and turns to crystal for too long, the game ends. Therefore, it’s important to build him into the strongest possible unit.
This suggested build focuses on making Ramza’s signature skills the main tools for boosting his allies, while also giving him powerful offensive options when he can reach enemies. Equipped properly, he becomes an outstanding leader on the battlefield.
Best Ramza Build
Ramza’s unique Mettle techniques make him the perfect support character who can also hold his own in combat. This setup emphasizes utilizing his key skills to strengthen the team, along with emphasizing high damage output when he can engage enemies directly.
Equipment and Job Setup
| Ability/Job | Details | Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Job | Gallant Knight | Main Hand: 2 Knight Swords |
| Secondary | Iaido | Off-Hand: (not specified) |
| Reaction | Shirahadorai | Headgear: Thief’s Cap |
| Support | Dual Wield | Body: Crystal Mail |
| Movement | Movement +2 | Accessory: Bracers |
Ramza’s weapon choices should be different Knight Swords so he can benefit from multiple effects—Excalibur paired with Save the Queen, for example. For increased mobility, options like Teleport or Movement +3 would be ideal, but obtaining them requires significant time in magic classes, which can slow down his physical development and may harm his stats due to unnecessary levels.
Since Ramza starts early, leveling in all physical jobs is manageable, especially if you aim for high-tier skills. Focus on progressing toward jobs like Samurai and Ninja early on. A typical leveling route is to first aim for Ninja, acquiring Dual Wield and boosting his speed for tough battles, such as the duel against Wiegraf. Once Dual Wield is obtained, switch to Samurai to unlock Shirahadorai and the Iaido skillset.
Additional Options
- Consider using Martial Arts as a secondary job until you gather strong Katanas.
- Use Counter as his Reaction ability before unlocking Shirahadorai, or after if Ramza’s durability is high enough to withstand hits.
- While Dual Wield improves attack speed and damage by wielding two Knight Swords simultaneously, choosing Doublehand from Samurai means he won’t need to unlock Ninja, simplifying his build but sacrificing some offensive versatility.
