Onion Knight (Tactics)

Onion Knight is a job from Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. It has basic stats and no real abilities. It has hidden potential, in that its power depends on the number of other jobs the unit has mastered.
To get one job level, the character must master two jobs; to attain the maximum Onion Knight level, the character must master fourteen jobs. However, mastering the Squire, Chemist, Mime, or Dark Knight will not count towards leveling up an Onion Knight. Maximizing the Onion Knight is arduous work, and is intended for late use in the game.

==Abilities==
The Onion Knight learns no abilities and is unable to equip abilities of any kind. Onion Knights' special ability being able to use any kind of equipment, and is the only job class to equip the famed Onion equipment.
== Overview ==
The Onion Knight is potentially the strongest job in the game. Despite having no abilities, not gaining experience points for levels and being unable to equip abilities from other jobs, it can deal the most damage once maxed, as well as becoming virtually unkillable with the Onion equipment; the main drawback is that this equipment is only available via Melee and/or Rendezvous.
It starts as the weakest job, having minimal stats. As the character masters other jobs, the Onion Knight progressively becomes stronger, and once fourteen jobs have been mastered, its stats become the highest in the game. 
Alternatively, in the mobile version, one can beat the game and use post-game equipment from the Poachers' Den to be strong without mastering jobs for stat boosts. An elemental gun (like Glacial Gun) can be used to compensate for range (mounting chocobos also gives more movement/jump)/stat limitations given status/elemental buffs, such as the Sage's Ring will have the character do adequate damage (while absorbing magic attacks) and be protected (Onion Armor has Protect, Shell, Regen, and Reraise, and Onion Shield has the highest block percentage).
