Jaha is a playable Warrior in the games Shining Force Gaiden II ('Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya) and Shining Force CD.

Background[]

Jaha is a young soldier of Cypress who has adopted the unusual practice of using a pot for his helmet. This apparently offers him the convenience of always having something to cook with. Eric and Luke have been his inseparable companions since before Shining Force Gaiden II, though they seem to spend much of their time together fighting with each other. When not fighting, they are usually spending their time shirking guard duty to goof off.

Personality[]

Strategy[]

In Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya Jaha makes a superb Gladiator. Even when promoted at level 10, his Attack and Defense are about equal to Rohde's, and his HP is much higher. This is especially important if you're playing the U.S. version of the game, as Jaha will often be able to take a level 3 spell that would kill Rohde in one hit.

In Shining Force CD he is far more mediocre. His HP is never quite as impressive as it was in Sword of Hajya, and after level 10 promoted its growth slows to a halt, leaving him with completely average HP for the final stretch. His Defense is above average, but not exceptional. Most importantly, his Attack is by far the lowest of the five Gladiators. With most of the Book 3 enemies, Jaha will do about 2/3 as much damage per hit as the other Gladiators. However, be aware that Jaha must be used for Book 4, so if you plan to tackle it then you should get used to using him.

Though he compares poorly to the other Gladiators thanks to his low Attack, Jaha is one of the game's toughest tanks at level 20 promoted. Never hesitate to stick him in front of weaker members as a shield.

Powers & Magic[]

Jaha has no magic or other special abilities.
