Cactuar
Guardian Force

Cactuar’s attack is mediocre at best. The damage that it does is equivalent to its level multiplied by 100. For example, at level 61 Cactuar’s attack will do 6,100 damage. But that being said, Cactuar also has quite a few useful abilities that it can learn, which is the primary reason why its important to pick it up in the Ragnarok as soon as you can.

Attack Name: 1000 Needles
Attack Effect: Normal damage attack
