The high-end shields from Red are basically irrelevant because almost all endgame enemies ignore evasion (and those that don't you can easily just tank with other shields). There is practically no situation where you'd rather have black magick on your tank instead of the super useful high-level white magicks like Curaja and Bravery/Faith. It also cannot boost fire, which is THE single biggest weakness of Red Battlemage. It looks great because of ALL THE THINGS, but most of that isn't actually useful and highly impractical to use because of gambit bloat. Red Battlemage/Shikari is mostly a worse White Mage/Shikari when it comes to tanking. Even though many late-game bosses ignore Evasion, the shields and measures still give pretty great Evasion for mobs and early/mid-game bosses, not to mention you'll gain access to buffs with measures. This combo is also pretty tanky: it gets Decoy, shields and measures, and it can heal too. If you give this combination Fafnir, your Red Battlemage will almost behave like a Time Battlemage since you'll have access to high-level time magick in addition to the Red Battlemage's own low-level time magick. No Focus/Adrenaline for boosting gun damage, though. Machinist's guns ignore defence, and Red Battlemage's Black Robes boost Machinist's Dark Shot. Red Battlemage + Machinist: This class combination is mostly for utility support. There is a lot of redundancy with the Black Mage, and I especially don't like like combining two classes that use the same armor type (Mystic armor in this case), but at least you'll get some healing, low-level time magick and dark spells to support the Black Mage. Red Battlemage + Black Mage: another class combination that gets access to the boosted Ardor setup with Flame Staff + Oil + Ardor. Before that, the class combination is decent. Unfortunately, Ardor won't be available until the third ascent of Pharos, so you won't be able to use the powerful spell setup until you've nearly beat the story part of the game. Red Battlemage + Archer: basically a one trick pony, with Burning Bow + Oil + Ardor. With Exodus, you'll gain access to high-level Heavy Armor, which makes the combo even tankier. ![]() Also gives Shikari Black Robes for Yiazmat killing. Cuchulainn is a great Esper for the combination, as it gives you Firaga, Thundaga, Blizzaga, Sleepga, Protectga and Shellga. Gets Decoy, healing and some offensive spells too. ![]() Red Battlemage + Shikari: one of the best tanks in the game. The best one depends on your party composition, intended role and playstyle. There's a few effective Red Battlemage combos. ![]()
