Tips[edit]
- Fire resistance is almost imperative. Saki (Another Style) is a great inclusion as her Jotunn Effect reduces the damage from the Fire Birds but also greatly punishes them with her AoE counterattack.
- Pierce attacks can exploit the Fire Birds' weakness to build up and extend Another Force. Joker can repeatedly switch in to destroy the Fire Birds with his pierce Valor Chant.
- Even with level 80 characters and fire resistance, the level 80 flame eater and its allies will do 3000-9000 points of damage to all party members every round.
Gariyu[edit]
Gariyu can only be fought by bringing him the Flame Eater Ash. You will have to pursue the Flame Eater at the following locations: Zol Plains (lvl 40), Lake Tiilen (lvl 50), Keruri Highroad (lvl 60), Nadara Volcano (lvl 70), and Xeno-Domain (lvl 80) and defeat its level 80 form to unlock the fight. Defeating him adds him to the roster.
