Th’uban

Opening of the battle against a Th’uban in the Monster Arena Calm Lands

HP: 3,000,000

The most challenging aspect of the battle against Th’uban is that it will counterattack every time you hit it, just like Earth Eater and Greater Sphere did. Th’uban will counterattack all attacks with an attack called “Condemn,” which will remove several beneficial status effects, specifically White Magic IconAuto-Life, White Magic IconHaste, White Magic IconProtect, White Magic IconRegen, White Magic IconReflect, and White Magic IconShell. It can also use an attack called “Rainbow,” which will inflict several negative status effects, including Confuse, Curse, Darkness, Silence, and Sleep. It can also cast White Magic IconRegen on itself. So, how do you survive this barrage?

You should consider power leveling your characters and obtaining the Celestial Weapons. Check out the Advanced section of the Tips and Tricks for more information. Properly leveled characters with their strongest weapons are a necessity for this battle.

Ensuring that you have very high Defense will make sure that the enemy’s counterattack does not hit your party members for too much damage. You will want to have Ability IconAuto-Phoenix on your character’s armor in case any of them are KO’d, and you will also want to ensure that you have Ability IconAuto-Haste and Ability IconAuto-Protect on each of your characters’ armor. Auto-abilities cannot be dispelled, so check out the Best Armor section if you need more information on how to craft this armor.

Lastly, you will want to ensure that your characters are protected from the negative status effects. You can equip them with Ability IconConfuseproof and/or Ability IconSleepproof if you’re cheap, or add the Ability IconRibbon auto-ability to as many armor items as you can afford. Make sure you have a stockpile of Large Green Vial Item IconRemedy to deal with the other negative status effects.
