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

  • “Draw”: Steals a cast (not the stock) from a member’s magic inventory and uses it at once, offensive spells at you, support spells on itself.
  • “Meteor”: Occasionally, the hand simply drops the sky on you.

Strategy

Green Magick IconSilence shuts down both its magic-stealing Draw and Green Magick IconMeteor. Green Magick IconHoly deals double damage.
