Cecil is the protagonist of Final Fantasy IV and undergoes a significant transformation from a Dark Knight to a Paladin. As a Dark Knight, Cecil wields powerful dark-elemental attacks like 'Dark Wave' but takes damage with each use. His strength and defense are high, making him a frontline attacker. Upon becoming a Paladin, Cecil gains access to White Magic, primarily healing and protective spells like Cure, Protect, and Shell. His physical attack power remains strong, and he gains access to holy-elemental swords. For a Paladin build, prioritize equipment that boosts Strength, Stamina, and Spirit. The best weapons for him are usually swords with high attack power and sometimes elemental properties. Armor should focus on physical and magical defense. His role shifts from pure offense to a versatile tank and secondary healer, making him indispensable in later stages of the game. Equip him with the best heavy armor and shields available.
