Paladin (Dimensions)

The Paladin is a job in Final Fantasy Dimensions obtained during the seventh chapter of the Tome of the Light, and is exclusive to the Warriors of Light.
== Appearance ==
When any of the Warriors of Light use this job, they become clad in knight armor. In the original Japanese cellphone releases, male characters have their armor designs loosely based on the Knight job sprites from the Famicom version of Final Fantasy III. Sarah wears a single piece leotards and a cape, reminiscent of Celes Chere's sprite from Final Fantasy VI.
== Overview ==
Paladins are a defensively-focused Warrior who nevertheless possesses high attacking strength, while their Holy Blade skill set provides some potent supporting options. Alongside their innate access to Cover, the Paladin excels in protecting their allies, and stalling opponents. Charge and Wide Slash are costly MP-wise, but hit every enemy at once. At the expense of a shield, Doublehand heightens their attacking power, but given the strength of attacks like Ivory Slash, it's hardly a requirement. Their pool of Fusion Abilities are scarce, but are among the best in the game, including Mighty Wall, Alabaster Veil, and Shock. One of the most powerful combinations in the game that doesn't rely on Fusion Abilities is a Paladin equipped with Recollect, boasting heightened Strength and Speed, using Ivory Slash.
== Statistics ==
The guest character Gawain has the same stats as the Paladin job, plus his own stats' growth.

Despite being named Paladin in English, the job is named Knight in Japanese. The two job names, along with its skillsets, are inspired by the Final Fantasy XI version of the Paladin, with Gawain donning the Paladin's Gallant artifact armor from the game.
