Evasion

Physical: 8%
Magical: 5%

Evasion is subtracted from an attacker's accuracy, and facing decides how much of it applies: full from the front, half from the side, and none from behind. Flanking beats dodging.

Reaction, Support & Movement

One of each may be equipped. Unlike actions these are not rolled — they are chosen, and a secondary job never lends them. The one marked Innate is always on for a Sworn Knight and never takes the Support slot, so the slot is free for another pick. Every one in the game is on the passives page.

Slot	Name	Effect	JP
Reaction	Iron Will	Brace and counter through the pain (30% trigger)	200
Reaction	Parry	Block incoming physical attacks entirely (25% trigger)	200
Support	Defense UP	Physical damage taken -25%	400
Support	Equip Shields Innate	Field a shield, whatever your class	400
Support	Equip Swords	Field swords and knight's swords, whatever your class	500
Support	HP Boost	Maximum HP +20%	600
Movement	Bulwark Stride	Advance behind the shield — gain an 8-point barrier each move, up to 25	400
