A well-rounded warrior with excellent offense and defense!

D's Journal job description

Your traditional, all-around sword fighter with excellent defense and offense. With the right tools—swords, shields and armor—they'll get the job done.

Official site's description

The Knight is a job in Bravely Default. It is obtained after defeating Argent Heinkel at Lontano Villa.

Much like the traditional Knight in Final Fantasy games, the Knight is a job that has high defensive potential and is somewhat combat-focused. Its specialized weapon are swords, and it favors shields more than helms or other armor. The Knight's abilities focus on manipulating physical attack and defense, both in itself or in its allies, to improve combat ability, although it can also defend its allies from danger thanks to its impeccable defense. Its skillset is Chivalry.

Appearance

Much like traditional knights in most incarnations, Knights wear heavy armor, but without helmets. Agnès wears a white dress and black tights underneath her armor, while Edea wears a blue dress and black stockings underneath hers. They wear armored skirts and lack prominent breastplates. Tiz and Ringabel wear leather armor underneath their plate, along with white tabards and capes. Tiz also wears his chainmail hood up, similar to Heinkel.
