This changes if you use the White Magic spell "Reflect". Once you use Reflect, any magic based attack will be countered by All-Curse, Cube, Generatus, or Leveler. The more HP he has lost, the higher chance of a counter. --- Susceptibility to Status Ailments: Immune to all. Preparation: To prepare for this battle, you really need to understand his ------------ attacks first, so lets go over them. His normal physical attack ------------ is pretty basic. He walks up to you and smacks you hard. He can ------------ also use this as a counterattack to any type of attack you use on ------------ him. Shadowus is a Dark Magic based attack which causes very high ------------ magical damage. This can be used as a counterattack to any type ------------ of attack. Cube is an ability that reduces your HP to Critical ------------ regardless of any defensive abilities that you have; It can not ------------ kill you. This can be used as a regular attack or as a counter to ------------ any type of attack. Sneeze is an ability that reduces your GC to ------------ zero. Anytime you have any GC, Immortal One has a high chance of ------------ using this. You may as well just have everyone in the front row, ------------ because GC will be useless in the battle. Quivering Sound Waves ------------ is an ability that reverses all powerups you have put on yourself, ------------ for example if you use Powerus and Immortal one casts said ability ------------ on you, your strength would actually go down instead of up. Avoid ------------ using beneficial powerups like Powerus or Mindus. Generatus is ok ------------ to use as there is no counterability to it. All-Curse is only ------------ used as a counter to magic based attacks. Curse inflicts a random ------------ status ailment at the end of the turn. This is easily remedied by ------------ equipping Anti-Curse or Ailment Resistance. Generatus is a spell ------------ that Immortal One will only use as a counter to attacks, and he ------------ will only use it if you cast reflect on yourself. In the case that ------------ you choose to do this, you will not see Shadowus for the rest of ------------ the battle, you will see Generatus, which heals for 30,000+ HP per ------------ turn, as well as leveler, which can damage you greatly, even with ------------ high levels and high magic defense. This is not a good ------------ combination to see, so to avoid Generatus and Leveler, do not cast ------------ Reflect (unless you want a challenge). ------------ Lets look at the skills we need to survive this battle, shall we? ------------ ------------ Please keep my Skill / Ability FAQ handy for this next part: ------------ http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/file/928334/54333 ------------ ------------ This section is for your Immortals. You should use all four. ------------ Slot +10, Slot +5: These allow you to equip a lot of skills. ------------ Persistence: This allows you to sometimes survive a fatal blow. ------------ Instead of the enemy killing you, Persistence kicks in and brings ------------ your HP back up to 1. ------------ Absorb Attack: This allows you to sometimes absorb Immortal One's ------------ physical attacks. ------------ Absorb Magic: This allows you to sometimes absorb any of the ------------ Immortal One's other magical attacks. ------------ Lucky 0 Magic Damage: This allows you to sometimes takes 0 damage ------------ from a magical attack. ------------ Anti-Curse / Ailment Resistance: These allow you to not be Cursed ------------ by status ailments when Immortal one uses Anti-Curse. ------------ Weapon Guard (1 or 2): This allows you to sometimes take 0 damage ------------ from Immortal One's physical attack. ------------ Depending on how many Slot Seeds you have found, you may or may ------------ not have any extra Skill Slots available. It is advisable to find ------------ as many as you can to maximize your skill repertoire. These 6 ------------ skills are the main defensive skills you need. There are others, ------------ but lets focus on offensive skills that you need now, and we'll ------------ fill the rest of your slots with other abilities once you have the ------------ main ones filled. ------------ Reduce Casting Time 2: Learn this from Cooke, equip it. ------------ Double-Cast: Learn this from Jansen. ------------ With these 2 abilities, you can cast Divide and Reversa very ------------ quickly. If you don't have these two abilities, go get them from ------------ King Kelolon (Divide) and Treasure Hunt #15 (Reversa). ------------ Lv 8 White Magic: To cast Divide. ------------ Lv 8 Spirit Magic: To cast Reversa. ------------ Divide takes your current HP, and divides that number between the ------------ number of enemies you are facing and damages them all equally. ------------ Since there is only one enemy in this battle, Divide will do full ------------ damage, equally your current HP. Reversa damages one enemy based ------------ on how much HP you have lost. Example: If you Max HP is 9,999 and ------------ you only have 2,000 left, then the game sees that you have lost ------------ 7,999 HP, and this (7,999) will be the damage done to the enemy. ------------ These 10 abilities are the base for your assault. If you have any ------------ extra slots, start filling them with these abilities in this order ------------ of importance: Auto-HP Recovery, Crisis Defense, Critical Heal, MP ------------ Conservation or Auto-MP Recovery, Crisis Prayer, Auto Shield, Auto ------------ Barrier, Crisis Concentration, HP Max Up 4, HP Max Up 3, Magic ------------ Defense Boost 1, Magic Defense Boost 2. If you still have any ------------ slots left over after this, fill them with the other Crisis or ------------ Critical skills. ------------ You now must choose a Mortal to join your party as you must have 5 ------------ party members. Sed is an excellent choice with his 3 Accessory ------------ skill. Stick him with Angel Guard (Ailment Resistance), White ------------ Charm (Auto-HP Recovery), and Talisman (Absorb Magic), he can be ------------ of help quite often in the first half of the battle. Remember, ------------ Sed can use 2 items per turn. This can really save your butt. ------------ Check your weapons and rings if you're going to be attacking, ------------ though I advise magic (divide/reversa) only. Atmosphere Ring is ------------ the best ring you can use against Immortal One. Make it from the ------------ ringmaker. Are you ready? Lets go! The Strategy: Remember throughout this entire battle, if you are hurting, take ------------- a moment to get healed up. The main point of damage in this ------------- battle is Immortal One's countering ability. The more HP you ------------- take off of him, the higher chance he has of countering you. ------------- Towards the end of the battle, he will counter almost everything ------------- you throw at him. While it may seem like he is getting 10+ turns ------------- per actual turn, remember, the main damage you are incurring is ------------- from counters. Take a turn to heal if you need it, this battle ------------- is still very possible to beat in 30 turns. If you don't attack, ------------- he will only attack you once. (Shadowus x2 is the exception). ------------- Start off the battle by casting Divide x2 with all characters. ------------- Your Mortal can do whatever he/she wants. Starting on the second ------------- turn, follow this strategy: If your HP is above 66%, double-cast ------------- Divide. If you HP is between 33% and 66%, double-cast Zephyrus / ------------- Divide. If your HP is below 33%, double-cast Reversa / Zephyrus. ------------- These 3 double-cast combinations assure maximum damage output ------------- while keeping you healed. If all of your characters are in ------------- Critical (very low) HP and Immortal one is < 50% HP, stop; Take a ------------- turn to have everyone cast healing abilities. If he uses his ------------- Shadowus x2 at that time, you could face instant-death. A few ------------- other words of advise: Physically attacking is not a good idea. ------------- He counters physicals just like any other attack, but you will do ------------- barely any damage compared to Divide/Reversa. Normal magic has ------------- little to no effect on Immortal One. Divide, Reversa, and Gamble ------------- are the only abilities that ignore Defense, thus the only ones ------------- that should be used; Don't use Gamble though, that ability is a ------------- waste of time in this battle. If you have some Composite Magic, ------------- you can cast Wind-Bound to put a protective Wind Shield around ------------- everyone so that Immortal One damages himself when he Physically ------------- attacks you. ------------- If you choose to go the Physical way, equip Kaim, Seth, and Sed ------------- with Atmosphere Rings, and try to nail perfects every turn. Have ------------- Ming and Sarah constantly healing and rebuffing with Powerus, ------------- Generatus, and Zephyrus. This way is slower and more dangerous, ------------- but still possible. The same defensive skill setup as the first ------------- strategy is suggested. Achilles� heel: Divide/Reversa -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This concludes the Backyard Battle FAQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for taking the time to read my FAQ!
