      can be used at 1 HP and will cost 0 HP, as is the case for similar skills that cost a percentage of current HP like Ability A Mafiosa Scorned.png A Mafiosa ScornedSacrifice 80% of caster's current HP to deal 800% Fire damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~1,160,000).

    is fairly weak, though it might help your survival against stronger specials like Europa's Taurus Blight.
  • Against null-element raids, however, it's a good idea to use it defensively and save it for triggers or strong full-diamond attacks (or, in V2, particularly dangerous Omens) since Status Water Switch.pngWater SwitchElemental DMG from foes turns into water DMG
    Duration: 3 turns
    is vital to survival.

    Reduce debuff durations by 2 turns.
    lets him shrug off really hard hits and most debuffs. This, combined with his ability to grant himself Status Lethal Attack Dodged.pngUndying (1 time)Can withstand lethal DMG (Leaves 1 HP / Can't be removed)
    , means that minor healing like Status Heal.pngRefreshHP is restored on every turn
    or Status Revitalize.pngRevitalizeRecover HP each turn. Boost to charge bar if HP is full.
    is generally enough to compensate for him cutting his HP in half every 8 turns.
