How to Beat Antlion

Before the Fight

  • Train up before you try it, since it is far above the Chapter 1 story bosses.
  • Put Cloud on a physical attacker and Terra on a caster for Water.
  • Equip Physical Counter on anyone with Mastery Rank 5 on the Warrior of Light.

Antlion Strategy

Water From the Right Hands

Water is its only weakness. Terra's magic avoids its counters, so lean on her if the fight gets rough.

Shrink Its Physical Damage

It mostly hits physically, so Protect and Debrave help a lot. Both eat MP fast, Protectga especially, so watch your pool.

Counter Its Counters

Physical Counter from the Warrior of Light at Mastery Rank 5 turns its swings into free damage, and it pairs well with Provoke.
