General Thoughts
Garnet from FF 9 is one of the best white mages the game has to offer at the moment. I am a little sad that Rydia isn’t anywhere near Garnet’s status considering she is a key character in FF 4. Garnet offers both esper bonus damage and powerful white magic. Like Tellah and Terra, she can revive dead members, which is a vital skill against tough bosses.
Another key skill she has is the High Tide, which gives a boost in limit burst crystal drops. Now, let’s talk about her limit burst, which gives esper summon bar increase while reducing LB cost. Now that’s a step up from Rydia’s limit burst. Her trust master reward gives any character more resistance to elemental attacks. It is best given to tanks!
Her strongest point is healing, which she owns all of the major healing spells. Cure, Cura, Curaga, Curaja and Regen are all useful spells to have. Having her in your party means you won’t ever need to use 2 healing units unless you are fighting tough trial bosses. She can also use mid level green magic.
Her biggest downfall though, is that she has no offensive spells and her physical attack is abysmal. However, there are plenty of characters filling the attacking role so I am fine with her just healing away! She is also quite fragile, lacks defense and has limited armor options.
Verdict: Make her your main healer. She beats others like Roselia and Lenna.

Lore
The princess of Alexandria who appears in tales of Gaia, a world foreign to this one. Dismayed by her mother Queen Brahne’s resolution to invade other countries, she asked Zidane to kidnap her so that she could make her way to Cid, regent of Lindblum. Though her concern for her mother and her country was genuine, having been raised in a castle she knew little of the world, leading her to come across as somewhat self-important during her first journey. However, after hiding away under the false name Dagger, she came to know more of the world, growing more mature in the process.
Ehh…. I kinda disagree with her beating Lenna as a healer. She does have Raise, but Lenna has cheer and Esuna, Let alone her LB that boost mag. That being said, Garnet is a great alternative in the current meta.
Exactly! When nobody gets killed, Garnet contributes much less than Lenna.
Well i have heard him say that ff9 is his favorite ff lol he even put SSS on her rating even though there are better characters but yet he gave lower ratings to. Talk about biased xD
FFIX haters gonna hate…
Poor Garnet, shes such a sweetheart.
Lenna’s cheer isn’t exclusive to her, costs 1/5th her mp and her stats just don’t come close to Garnets.
RAise also instantly kills any undead enemy including bosses.
The garnet vs lenna topic has been controversial, but with units like Ramza and now the ability to craft evo + abilities Lenna is losing usefullness. While Garnet continues to gain.
Rosa or Garnet are the only viable white mages against events like the tower of babul. And cheers mp heaby contribution is more obselete on a wm by the week.
If you disagree please look into both sides of the math before posting misleading info.
At the time of this comment, there are only 2 units with LB that increases esper summon gauge namely Rydia and Garnet. So definitely you guys need both to help complete those ‘ invoke esper ‘ missions.
Hey there. Garnet is now a 6* unit
