How to Heal Status Ailments
Cast Esuna
Esuna clears every ailment except KO from one ally. Fina learns it at level 5, and the Leah, Lightning and Ayaka Visions carry it too.
Esunaga cures the whole party at once. It comes with the third awakening of Lightning or Ayaka.
Use Items
- Remedy cures every ailment in one go.
- Single-ailment cures include Eye Drops, the Gold Needle, the Antidote Herb, the Echo Herb and the Herb of Awakening.
- Find them all on the items page.
Cure Automatically
Leah's Auto-Cure Ailments at Mastery Rank 9 uses Esuna or a Remedy on its own when the wearer gets an ailment.
How to Prevent Status Ailments
Blocking an ailment beats curing it. Many Vision awakenings and accessories give immunity while equipped.
| Ailment | Visions that block it | Gear that blocks it |
|---|---|---|
| Poison | Leah, Zidane | Ribbon |
| Charm | Leah | Monk's Prayer Beads |
| Blind | Squall, Aileen | Ribbon |
| Silence | Shantotto, Y’shtola, Ayaka | Ribbon |
| Sleep | Wilhelm | Ribbon |
| Confuse | Victoria | Calm Armlet |
| Berserk | Vaan | Calm Armlet |
| Petrify, Paralysis | None | Jeweled Ring |
| Instant Death | Firion, Ayaka | Safety Bit, Tatenashi Armor |
| Everything | Terra (Ribbon passive) | Super Ribbon |
Vision passives only work while that Vision is equipped. The accessories guide has more defensive picks.
