FFVIA LLNSNI Part XXVI: Demon

First Warring Triad boss that we face.

Demon is potentially the easiest of the three... Most fans of this game know him to be vulnerable to Stop, which is a crucial status weakness. I'm not exactly in a situation of extreme danger here, well-equipped, so I give the boss a chance to make things challenging by not stopping him for the entirety of the battle. Hey, it's the right thing to do.

The boss counters with Firaga spells instead of regular physical blows, meaning there is no need for a Knight's Code party protector this time. Instead, we should take care of our fire immunity. Celes and Terra get Minerva, Mog deserves the Paladin's Shield and I gave Relm an Ice Shield.

Mog's here because of Fixed Dice again, and the ladies just happen to be the best spell casters. Celes and Terra have been given Hero's Rings and Relm was given Soul of Thamasa, since Magus Rod comes with the same effect an Earring/Hero's Ring gives to the wearer's magic power stat.

Somebody should summon Fenrir in the beginning as Image will take care of the early physicals, if any.

At the start, the only real danger is Metal Cutter. I've talked about this attack too much so you should know that it's actually a spell that can be evaded with a good M. Evade stat. It's used twice here and I get lucky. I also forget to renew Hastega until the battle's pretty much over but it's not like I needed it.

Lightning/wind-elemental attacks start getting used in the second half of the battle so it's probably a good idea to stop reviving Relm. Fixed Dice is a lot more damaging most of the time anyway, more so than the Blizzaga spells. Though the boss is weak to poison, Bio is not quite as effective as that, and I promised myself not to overuse the more powerful magic on the list unless absolutely compulsory (like in that Gigantuar battle).

Out of curiosity, which dance does Kefka's Tower give?

[MoogleBoss]

Earth Blues, I think. Not that I can even use it here.

Nice job ^^

[Murphy4709]

those dice really kick ass, makes me wish I had some :(

[MoogleBoss]

Two more triad battles, then the Kefka tiers. Still not sure if I'll be doing more stuff, I usually stop challenges when the final boss is down.

Ah so every game involving more than two initials? okay, anyways well done on this one only 6 boss's left right? (including the tower boss as one)

[MAZZ0Murder]

An exaggerated variation of your theme.
