UNIQUE FOCUS - AGRIAS | Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions Guide to Stats, Skills & Gear

[@seagreensugarcube1474]

Have a good week, Mikey! Gotta love Agrias. When I was young, I thought she wasn’t much to write home about. She grew on me as I used her more and more. I remember getting Meliadoul and immediately tossing her sword to Agrias for dual-wielding knight swords haha

[@TacticsLive]

Thanks SGSC, and I agree, she is lovely is so many ways! 🥰 I remember having a hard time deciding what to use her for besides a tanky bruiser - her Holy Knight skills are so good that I couldn't decide if I actually needed other abilities to back her up! 😅

[@deviancepurplehaze6045]

Best waifu of FF franchise

[@empty_melodies]

She is THE holy knight

*me after having dismissed her friends because i like a tidy roster* "well, that sucks. I'm not restarting the game for an accessory though..." *looks up tynar rouge on the wiki* "OH GODDAMNIT"

[@PlatinaRun]

Nice character, from me any female knigth I have created in other RPGs called Agrias

[@TacticsLive]

Love this! 💪

When I played FFT for PS1, I was disappointed that Ramza couldn't get at least Lighting Stub or Holy Explosion at the near end of the game, since Delita got it, Dycedarg, and so forth.I thought Ramza will get Lighting Stub instead of Ultima. I remember most touching scene when Simon, the priest of Orbonne Monastery, told Ramza: ''You represent Balbanes mindset instead your brothers Dycedarg and Zalbag.'' I thought Ramza will be like Agrias and Orlandu at the end of game, but he didn't. I am glad they added Dark and White Night jobs in FFT War of Lions.

[@TacticsLive]

Remember, Ramza is a heretic after all! 😳

[@SwatKat777-t7t]

​@@TacticsLive I know, for killing that creepy priest Draclau aka Queklain . First time I beat FFT in 2003. on ps1. And when I first time saw Agrias and Gafgarion, I was astonished with their skills. I always tried to simulate Agrias with Ramza by equipping Monk job. Wave Fist and Earth Slash ware my substitute for Crushing Punch and Holy Explosion. For example Ramza was a Squire with second job Monk., but then I had equip Martial Art ability, or the second job monk's offensive abilities would be very weak. By equiping Martial Art, game always keep removing sword and shield from Ramza, but I keep re-equipping it. I don't know whether this was a smart idea. Agrias was always primary Holy Knight, and secondary White Mage for me.

[@TacticsLive]

@@SwatKat777-t7t Removing the sword and shield was from Monks having Brawler by default - which will raise your damage when bare-fisted. Chances are that you were going to be doing more damage with your fists than your sword! ✊

[@erikofskullisland3987]

Giving her an elemental sword and boosting the element with another piece of equipment. Big help.

[@3n1x9]

😮one of the best characters off all time

[@marcodimartino2810]

The best Agrias i’ve had is a Dark Knight build with Double Chaos Blade, Ribbon, Grand Armor and Tynar Rouge. Her Holy Knight abilities shine even more

[@TacticsLive]

Dark Knight + Holy Knight = best of both worlds 💪

[@joaquinkhourysilvestre2530]

Since she is balanced when it comes to physical and magical attack despite having a unique class thatonly inflicts physical damage, i prefer to give Agrias a secondary class that may take advantage of her magic, while not neglecting her physical power either. Samurai and Geomancer come to mind. Also she is really cute, my boy Mustadio has good taste 10/10.

[@TacticsLive]

Hey Joaquin, thanks for checking out the episode! Totally agree with the PA/MA approach - I also like the Iaido for secondary to apply Protect+Shell off the bat while she is waiting to engage in close combat. 💪

[@giovanniprovost]

I like to splash her secondary with either white mage or oracle to serve as defensive support or a mini temple knight with the status stuff from oracle

[@joaquinkhourysilvestre2530]

@@giovanniprovost This actually makes sense specially because tynar Rougue boost holy magic. Agrias with a secondary white mage should hit pretty hard with Holy.

[@GutsOfRivia]

Cant wait for the Cidolfus Guide which would be 1 sec long with you just saying "Use him"

[@TacticsLive]

Haha that would save me a lot of time and effort... 😂

[@stormtrooperjon9212]

I usually only learn Hallowed Bolt and Divine Ruination, then immediately swap her over to a Geomancer. Since you don't really get knight swords until chapter 4 (you can get a Defender from poaching but its not that great), you can equip her with the best sword available and headgear and clothes that boost PA. As a Holy Knight, she doesn't have as many options to boost PA early, and Geomancers also have Attack Up to unlock. Forget about HP, focus solely on items that boost PA, and she will be like a mini Orlandu, one-shotting everything in chapter 2-3 :D

[@hafurg]

Agrias really broke the game, as any other "holy knight" class. Her special attacks are just too good, the only thing that can be close to them for a "normal" character is the Dark/Black Knight but it takes a HELL of grinding to get them. Although the character is just cool AF and is a perfect example of a Paladin in any game or story. Equipping her with a cape, shield and parry skill make her a perfect dodge tank.

[@TacticsLive]

All good points Hafurg, thanks for sharing! I agree that the skill set is really strong and it makes the game a lot easier. 💪

[@hafurg]

@@TacticsLive yeah although it is not necessary to use her always. And the game does have some quite difficult battles

[@kailinglasgow2334]

WAIT WAIT HOLD THE F*** UP!!!! FFT has PVP???????????

[@TacticsLive]

Haha, oh yes! 🙌 Come join us over at the Tactics League discord - links are at their homepage, where you can read up on the balance changes: tacticsleague.com

[@Rickape]

Why is it some skills changed name like the Lightning Stab to Hallowed Bolt?

[@TacticsLive]

It was a change from PS1 to War of the Lions. I think the original had some bad translations and SE wanted to unify and clean up the dialogue, though this is purely speculation.

[@Greatermaxim]

Agrias is a more reliable Meliadoul and you get her early on. Though her Holy Sword is not as good as Math Skill, she will slowly widdle them away in either case.

[@giovanniprovost]

Best paladin, all years

[@TacticsLive]

Agreed!

[@perezkoala]

A job with very useful abilities which Agrias cannot use to its full potential due to her female PA and her job's average PA. That is why I keep her on jobs with high PA growth and change her to Dark Knight with her Divine Sword as secondary at level 99.

[@TacticsLive]

Smart strategy PK 👌 I wonder if having her as a Ninja with Equip Swords is worthwhile?

[@Sorgybaby]

yep you have to do the level down trick with her to unlock her true potential

[@beanlegume9965]

Agrias in 1998: “she’s so respectable and chivalrous.” Jill in 2023 (basically the same character): “she’s so boring and under developed.”

[@dennistang3822]

I can make agrias immune to physical and magical attacks, Ai will not attack cause there’s zero hit chance, however 100 percent hit chance like those special knights skills will not be block able. Also I can make her with 999 health points wearing basic armour provided by the game. It’s not hacks

[@orelas167]

She's a rather ill fit for the brutal, cynical world of FFT (right down to her mediocre Faith stat). The more I think about that, the more I like her.

Thumbnail looks like some generic shit.
