- "Their sturdy defense enables paladins to endure punishing attacks. They also possess a variety of abilities to aid their allies."
- —Description
The Paladin is a job class from Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift exclusive to Humes. Paladins are tanks, with high HP, Defense and Attack stats, but they are not a perfect unit, as seen by their Speed and Evade stats. They are well balanced attacking and supporting units, with their Nurse ability an effective debuff remover, and their Cover ability invaluable in missions to protect a specific unit. They also have an advantage against undead units, with their Saint Cross and Holy Blade attacks, and Sanctify, which can bury undead units in a small area.
