Noble of house Beoulve, Ramza was trained in the fine art of combat from a young age. The well rounded young man did not specifically focus on one area of combat, spreading his time and interests around in the various fields of study. While he may not be a swordmaster or archmage, Ramza's well rounded approach gives him plenty of options in any fight. Against Lani, he'll be opting for a defensive approach to the fight. Aegis Shield? Check. White Robe, to blunt the worst of Lani's magic? Check. Rune Blade, to inflict as much physical pain as possible? Check. Against a blitzing style like Lani's, Ramza merely wishes to buy as much time with his defensive options as possible. While the axewoman's magical assault may be impressive, her durablity's not- and a crafty veteran like Ramza is able to exploit every mistake and error that Lani's overwhelming assault covered up in Light.
