Sword Saint
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Sword Saint, also known as Holy Swordsman, is a special job class from Final Fantasy Tactics. Orlandeau's default job class, this job focuses on swords and every sword technique possible. This job is a powerhouse, and needs very little support. Holy Swordsman is arguably the best non-NPC class, and is widely used due to both the incredible slaughter it can unleash and the fact that Orlandeau comes equipped with Excalibur, which considerably augments the class' efficiency.
Sword Saint has strong stat gains - physically exceptional and magically competent - and has versatile equipment options, able to equip not only helms and armor but hats, clothes, and robes. Though only swords and Knight Swords will allow him access to the class' abilities, Orlandeau can also equip daggers, ninja swords, and katana, indicating his mastery of swordplay. It costs 5250 JP to master this job.
