Status Vulnerabilities

Percentages are the base chance for the status to land before level and junction modifiers; the higher the number, the easier it is to inflict.

Attacks

  • “Snipe Laser”: Non-elemental magic damage to one target.
  • “Chain Gun”: Physical damage to the whole party.
  • “Reflect”: Casts it on itself to bounce your offensive magic.

Strategy

Green Magick IconThunder, Earth Element IconEarth, and Green Magick IconWater all deal boosted damage, and statuses fail. Attack physically if it casts Green Magick IconReflect on itself.
