The fights

Morfoxen

Morfoxen

Level 160

In the Stontusk Desert cave, at , 4 characters maximum, with Galafat (2,300 HP) as an ally. The Shushu has the Heavy state, kills in one hit in melee and reduces damage: only weapons really hurt.

  • Shushu Greed

    Makes it invulnerable, with no time limit.

  • Corrosion

    50% erosion for 2 turns, Air 350 Whack in an area, and Air poison from 31 to 45 for 2 turns.

  • Morfoslurp

    Water 400 Whack that removes 1 MP.

  • Tip: block with Galafat

    From the very first turn, position the Shushu so that only one of the 4 cells touching it stays free, then put Galafat on that cell. Galafat can't be killed in one hit: he blocks it and regularly lowers its maximum vitality.

  • Tip: the vulnerable turns

    From turn 5, Galafat strikes the Shushu with his axe: it is vulnerable on turns 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and so on, every other turn.

  • Tip: create a weakness

    Each hit gives it 200% resistance in the element hit, but removes 50 Power, 10 Lock and 10% resistance in the other elements for 2 turns. While it is invulnerable, hit it in the other elements to dig out a weakness in a chosen element.

  • Tip: the final blow

    When it is vulnerable, hit in the weakened element with a weapon that has a single damage line: the second line would be useless. The best is a single character with a big melee hit (wand, bow, staff or axe), boosted to the maximum by the others. Avoid weapons that only hit the cell in front of you, like the sword: you would have to move Galafat every time.
