 XIII. Status Effects |
BJ Wise says:
I've discovered the power of Stat-Atk Junction. Almost every monster in the game has an Achilles heel, and you can exploit it if you know what it is. Beware if you use Drain: If you have an element junctioned to your Elem-Atk, and the monster you are fighting absorbs that element, IT will absorb YOUR health.
Tiamat's Dark Flare is a Fire attack. Just junction Firaga to your Elem-Def and you'll absorb the damage.
The table below lists which Status Effects each monster is vulnerable to, and I thought you might like to see it. I plan to gather similar information on the bosses in the game, but I'm not hopeful that they'll have many weaknesses. You know how it goes.
