Hello, and welcome to the Monster Infusion FAQ for Final Fantasy XIII-2!
My name is sakurayule, and I have created this FAQ to enhance your gaming
experience. Please enjoy it to your heart's content. Any questions, comments,
or critiques should be sent to the email addresses provided at the beginning of
the FAQ.
This guide is copyrighted to me, sakurayule, and my co-authors, BMSirius and
Taly932, and is intended for private use only. Alteration of this guide is
forbidden. Duplication and hosting of this guide is prohibited without our
permission. Consent is granted to the sites listed near the beginning of the
FAQ. Fan-based sites will not be given hosting consent without approval.
As equal co-authors, BMSirius and Taly932 are granted full copyright
privileges, and, as such, may change, modify, or alter the FAQ in any way
that they deem appropriate.

| | Monster Infusion FAQ Lowdown - [MIFAQLd] | |
|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
True to its namesake, the purpose of this FAQ is to provide you with every bit
of information that there is available about every monster in the game, with an
acute focus on the Infusion Process. The main topics that this FAQ covers are:
tameable monster locations, detailed monster information (min/max base stats,
immunities, resistances, weaknesses, passive abilities, skills, etc.), passive
ability ranks and definitions, Red Lock and Yellow Lock rules, Feral Link
details, suggested builds, and, of course, Infusion mechanics. In addition,
this guide can also be used to complete your Bestiary and acquire the Academic
Rank: Monster Professor Fragment from Dr. M in Academia 4XX AF.
This FAQ will NOT provide strategies for fighting monsters. It will, however,
explore the best means to make the most out of any given tameable monster.
|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
| | Monster Category Checklist - [MLMenuV] | |
|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
In Academia 4XX AF, if you talk to Dr. M in the reception hall of the Academy's
headquarters, he will send you on a quest to battle every monster in the game.
Once you have fought and defeated every monster, he will give you the Academic
Rank: Monster Professor Fragment. If he does not bestow you with a Fragment,
you have more monsters to find. Note that you are not required to use a
Librascope on every monster; you are only required to fight and kill every
monster at least once.
This section is a simple depiction of what a completed Bestiary will look like
in your menu. Note that DLC monsters are NOT required to fill the Bestiary and
get all 160 Fragments in the game.

Special Note: You must complete all Paradox Endings to obtain all boss entries.
In addition, you must fight Proto fal'Cie Adam 4 times by
purposely choosing incorrect Live Trigger answers. Each time you
fight him, a different entry is added to your Bestiary. You are
also capable of losing the Solo Noel vs. Caius battle, so, if you
are missing a Protector entry, check to see if you have the 5,000
HP Caius entry. If not, you will need to close Academia 4XX's
Time Gate and replay until you reach A Dying World 700 AF again.

| | The Taming Lowdown - [MLTameB] | |
|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
..............................................................................
The in-game tutorial will explain how to use monsters in your party. This
section will focus on detailed information about each tameable monster.
..............................................................................
To recruit a monster, you must obtain its Crystal. You can do this by defeating
it in battle. There are only 8 exceptions; refer to Section 08 - Special
Monsters [SpecMon] for more information.
..............................................................................
Generally, you can only capture one of each monster. However, should you have
access to the "Perpetual Battlefield" DLC, you can obtain two copies of the
following special monsters (Leyak, Rangda, Cactuarama, Cactuarina, Nanochu, and
Chichu), so long as you obtain them as Item Drops from Valfodr first. You can
only have one Gigantuar and Twilight Odin at a time.
You can also capture up to three of the following types of Chocobos (Yellow,
Red, Blue, Green, Purple, Black, and White). Golden and Silver Chocobos are
also limited to three copies, unless you have the "Perpetual Battlefield" DLC
and obtain them as Item Drops from Valfodr before obtaining them through
Moogle-related means. If so, then you can have four at a time. The purpose for
having multiple types of Chocobos is so that you can specifically build some of
them for use in Serendipity ??? AF's Chocobo Races.
..............................................................................
Each monster has a specific percentage chance of dropping its Crystal. These
percentages will be noted in each monster's details. You can increase the
percentage in two ways: The Monster Collector Fragment Skill, and by killing a
monster with a Feral Link, as the Synch Rate increases the chances of capturing
a monster. The formula for monster taming is as follows:
Base Tame Rate x (Killing Blow Magnification + Fragment Skill Magnification)
Killing Blow Magnification = Feral Link Synch Rate (300% Cap) or 100% (if no
Feral Link is used as the killing blow)
Note: Monsters with maximum Synch Rates exceeding 300% (e.g. Twilight Odin's
Zantetsuken, Metallicactuar's Hit-and-Run) have them reduced to 300%.
If no Feral Link is used to deliver the final blow, the Killing Blow
Magnification equals 100%.
Fragment Skill Magnification = 100% (if the Monster Collector Fragment Skill
is activated) or 0% (if the Monster Collector Fragment Skill is NOT activated)
..............................................................................
The following Fragment Skills can help you fill your Bestiary and capture all
monsters:
Skill 01: Improved Moogle Throw -Obtain after Episode 4.
Skill 08: Monster Collector -Obtain all Vile Peaks Fragments.
Skill 09: Encounter Master -Obtain all Yaschas Massif Fragments.
Skill 10: Battlemania -Obtain all 100% Map Fragments.
All Fragment Skills can be acquired from the Mystic in Serendipity ??? AF.

| Infusion Introduction - [InfIntr] |
+-----------------------------------+
Infusion is a selectable choice in the Monster selection of the Main Menu. This
option allows you to take one monster and infuse its abilities into another.
Although monsters can learn many abilities through Crystarium leveling, most
abilities cannot be acquired through this method alone. Instead, they must be
inherited through Infusion.
The first monster you select in the Infusion Menu is the monster that will
receive abilities. The second monster you select will give up its abilities,
disappearing after the infusion is complete. This portion of the FAQ will
explain how to control the transference of infused abilities.
+---------------------------------------+
| Passive Ability Rank List - [PassARL] |
+---------------------------------------+
Before you learn how to control passive abilities, you must first understand
how they are ranked. Each ability has a Rank, and learning these Ranks is
fundamental for understanding how to control the movement of passive abilities
from one monster to another.
The following list ranks every infusable passive ability in the game.

| Passive Ability Rules - [PassARu] |
+-----------------------------------+
..............................................................................
Each monster can have a maximum of 10 passive abilities. A higher ranked
passive ability takes priority over a lower ranked passive ability. When you
are looking at your monster's passive abilities, they will always be organized
with the highest ranked passive abilities on top and the lowest ranked passive
abilities on bottom. If two or more passive abilities are of the same rank,
they are arranged with the newest ability on top and the oldest on the bottom.
The highest ranked passive abilities always take priority over the lower ranked
passive abilities. If more than 10 passive abilities are present, the lowest
passive ability on the list is removed so that only 10 remain.
..............................................................................
..............................................................................
All passive abilities of the sacrificial monster will be transferred to the
recipient monster unless certain conditions apply. The conditions involve
Red Locks, Yellow Locks, or going over the 10 passive ability limit.
..............................................................................
..............................................................................
Certain passive abilities are marked with a Red Lock (RL). Red-locked passive
abilities can NOT be transferred or removed.
..............................................................................
..............................................................................
Certain passive abilities are marked with a Yellow Lock (YL). Yellow-locked
passive abilities must be created; they are never on a monster by default.
Yellow Locks give your passive abilities a higher rank on the Rank List. This
prevents them from being easily removed while you edit other passive abilities
by giving them higher priority.
..............................................................................
+-------------------------------+
| Yellow Lock Rules - [YLRules] |
+-------------------------------+
Yellow Locks come into play when two passive abilities of the same type are
infused together. Examples include HP +10% and HP+25% or Strength +10% and
Strength +16%. Note that ATB Advantage and First Strike are the only
"Same Type" passive abilities that do not share similar naming schemes.
Rule Format:
Recipient Monster's Ability + Sacrificed Monster's Ability = Outcome
o-------------------o
| Section A - Rules |
o-------------------o
..............................................................................
01) Fundamental Rule:
Ability + "Same Type" Ability of Equal or Greater Rank = Yellow-locked Ability
of Equal or Greater Rank
Example: You wish to yellow-lock HP +10% on a monster, because it has a Rank so
low that it is about to be removed by higher ranked passive abilities.
You infuse a Lv. 1 Luminous Puma, which also has HP +10%, into your
original monster. Your original monster's HP +10% will now have a
Yellow Lock. Alternatively, if you have a monster with HP +10% and
infuse a monster with HP +25% into it, the original monster acquires
a yellow-locked HP +25%. The original monster's HP +10% is overwritten
with the higher ranked HP +25%, but, because they are "Same Type"
abilities, it also receives a Yellow Lock.
..............................................................................
02) Disregard Rule:
Ability + "Same Type" Ability of Lower Rank = Original Ability; No Lock
Example: You have a monster with HP +25%. You infuse a monster with HP +10%
into the original monster. Although they are "Same Type" abilities,
nothing at will happen. The original monster's HP +25% will remain
and will not have a Yellow Lock. The second monster's HP +10% is
wasted.
..............................................................................
03) Yellow Disregard Rule:
Ability + Yellow-locked "Same Type" Ability of Lower Rank = Original Ability;
No Lock
..............................................................................
04) Yellow Carryover Rule:
Ability + Yellow-locked "Same Type" Ability of Equal or Higher Rank =
Yellow-locked Ability of Equal or Higher Rank
..............................................................................
05) Yellow Upgrade Rule:
Yellow-locked Ability + "Same Type" Ability of Higher Rank = Yellow-locked
Ability of Higher Rank
Example: You have a monster with a yellow-locked HP +10%. You infuse a monster
with HP +25% into the original monster. The original monster now has a
yellow-locked HP +25%. The HP +10% passive ability upgrades to HP +25%
without affecting the Yellow Lock.
..............................................................................
06) Yellow Unlock Rule:
Yellow-locked Ability + "Same Type" Ability of Equal or Lower Rank = Original
Ability; No Lock
Example: You have a Monster with a yellow-locked HP +25%. You infuse a monster
with HP +10% into the original monster. The original monster now has
an unlocked HP +25%.
..............................................................................
07) Yellow Negation Rule:
Yellow-locked Ability + Yellow-locked "Same Type" Ability of Equal or Lower
Rank = Original Ability; No Lock
..............................................................................
08) Yellow Persistence Rule:
Yellow-locked Ability + Yellow-locked "Same Type" Ability of Higher Rank =
Yellow-locked Ability of Higher Rank
..............................................................................
09) Yellow Crystarium Unlock Rule:
Yellow-locked Ability + Crystarium Upgrade of "Same Type" Ability = Crystarium
Upgrade Ability; Yellow Lock Removed/No Lock
Example: You have a Monster with a yellow-locked HP +10%. Your next Crystarium
Upgrade is HP +25%. You level up HP +10% to HP +25%, and its HP +25%
unlocks. If the monster's Crystarium Upgrade is lower than its
ability, nothing will change.
..............................................................................
10) Red Upgrade Rule:
Red-locked Ability + "Same Type" Ability of Higher Rank OR Red-locked Ability
+ Yellow-locked "Same Type" Ability of Higher Rank = Red-locked Ability of
Higher Rank
Note: Red-locked abilities can be upgraded, but never unlocked. Trying to
infuse a passive ability of equal or lesser Rank will cause the infused
passive ability to disappear.

| Section B - Simplified Rules |
o------------------------------o
..............................................................................
01) Fundamental Rule:
Non-YL Ability + Non-YL Ability of Equal or Higher Rank = YL Ability of Equal
or Higher Rank
..............................................................................
02) Disregard Rule:
Non-YL Ability + Non-YL Ability of Lower Rank = Original Ability; No Lock
..............................................................................
03) Yellow Disregard Rule:
Non-YL Ability + YL Ability of Lower Rank = Original Ability; No Lock
..............................................................................
04) Yellow Carryover Rule:
Non-YL Ability + YL Ability of Equal or Higher Rank = YL Ability of Equal or
Higher Rank
..............................................................................
05) Yellow Upgrade Rule:
YL Ability + Non-YL Ability of Higher Rank = YL Ability of Higher Rank
..............................................................................
06) Yellow Unlock Rule:
YL Ability + Non-YL Ability of Equal or Lower Rank = Original Ability; No Lock
..............................................................................
07) Yellow Negation Rule:
YL Ability + YL Ability of Equal or Lower Rank = Original Ability; No Lock
..............................................................................
08) Yellow Persistence Rule:
YL Ability + YL Ability of Higher Rank = YL Ability of Higher Rank
..............................................................................
09) Yellow Crystarium Rule:
YL Ability + Crystarium Upgrade of "Same Type" Ability = Crystarium Upgrade
Ability; YL Removed/No Lock
..............................................................................
10) Red Upgrade Rule:
RL Ability + Non-YL or YL Ability of Higher Rank = RL Ability of Higher Rank
..............................................................................

| Role Abilities - [RoleAbl] |
+----------------------------+
Role abilities are Role-specific abilities that can be infused into another
monster of the same Role.
The following list contains every infusable Role ability in the game.
..............................................................................
Commando Ravager Sentinel Saboteur Synergist Medic

..............................................................................
If the sacrificial monster has infusable Role abilities, you will be prompted
to select which Role abilities you want to transfer over when you infuse it
into a recipient monster of the same Role.
The number of Role abilities that can be transfered over is equal to the
sacrificial monster's current Cystarium Stage. For example, if the sacrificial
monster is at Crystarium Stage 3, you will be able to transfer three Role
abilities from it to the recipient monster. Note that every time a monster is
rewarded a Crystarium Expansion, it advances by one Crystarium Stage. The
maximum Crystarium Stage level for any monster is five, although some monsters
only have one, even at their strongest.
Sometimes, it is better to not infuse a Role ability, as having too many may
result in a monster using unneeded abilities before using the ones that you
specifically want. In such situations, you can choose not to inherit any Role
abilities. Once a monster is infused with a Role ability, it can never be
removed, so choose carefully.
There is no limit on how many Role abilities a monster can inherit. You can
choose to infuse them all, though this, as mentioned, is not always the best
option.
+-----------------------------------+
| Hidden Role Abilities - [HiddnRA] |
+-----------------------------------+
Each Role possesses a specific, hidden Role ability. To learn them, you must
infuse 99 levels worth of monsters in the opposite Role of your monster. The
99 levels can be earned in any way you wish (e.g. 20 Lv. 5 monsters, 5 Lv. 20
monsters, 99 Lv. 1 monsters, 1 Lv. 99 monster, etc.)
The following list contains every hidden Role ability in the game.
..............................................................................
Commando--: Infuse with 99 levels worth of Ravagers----: learns Jeopardize
Ravager---: Infuse with 99 levels worth of Commandos---: learns Vigor
Sentinel--: Infuse with 99 levels worth of Medics------: learns Reprieve
Saboteur--: Infuse with 99 levels worth of Synergists--: learns Jinx
Synergist-: Infuse with 99 levels worth of Saboteurs---: learns Boon
Medic-----: Infuse with 99 levels worth of Sentinels---: learns Curaja
..............................................................................
Jeopardize: Boosts Chain Bonus effect of the staggered target by 1% upon
attacking.
Vigor-----: Increases the Chain Bonus effect of attacks by 1% when your
monster's HP is above 70%.
Reprieve--: If HP is above 30%, your monster retains 1 HP after an attack that
would otherwise lead to an instant KO.
Jinx------: Extends the duration of the target's existing status ailments by
five seconds upon inflicting new ones.
Boon------: Extends the duration of the target's existing status enhancements
by five seconds upon bestowing new ones.
Curaja----: Restores HP to the target and nearby allies proportional to the
amount of damage each has taken.
..............................................................................
Recommended monsters for acquiring each hidden Role ability are listed below.
Note that these monsters were chosen based on cost efficiency and availability.
The specific levels were chosen in order to avoid learning higher-ranked
passive abilities. The lower ranked passive abilities that these monsters
transfer can easily be removed by infusing higher ranked passive abilities.
Jeopardize: Infuse six level 17 Zwerg Scandroids into your Commando.
Vigor-----: Infuse five level 20 Goblins into your Ravager.
Reprieve--: Infuse six level 17 Cait Siths into your Sentinel.
Jinx------: Infuse six level 17 Fachans into your Saboteur.
Boon------: Infuse six level 17 Ceratosaurs into your Synergist.
Curaja----: Infuse six level 17 Pulse Knights into your Medic.
+-----------------------------------+
| Example Build: Chichu - [ExBuild] |
+-----------------------------------+
This section explains how filter monsters and Red Locks can be used to your
benefit, using Chichu, a powerful COM, as an example. It also illustrates many
of the intricacies involved in the Infusion Process, while providing you with
a powerful ally.
First, consider what passive abilities you want to infuse into Chichu. Chichu
does not have any red-locked abilities, so you are free to choose all ten. The
following ten passive abilities and their ranks are used in Chichu's Top-Tier
build.
Chichu, Lv. 70
01) HP +30% (8)
02) Strength +35% (7)
03) Resist Physical +36% (7)
04) Resist Magic +36% (7)
05) Role Resonance (7)
06) Feral Speed II (6)
07) Siphon Boost II (6)
08) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
09) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
10) Pack Mentality (4)
Second, note that Chichu naturally learns Attack: ATB Charge II, Feral
Speed II, and Pack Mentality, so you can avoid infusing monsters for these
abilities. It also learns Strength +25%, a lesser version of Strength +35%.
Third, identify the monsters who possess your desired passive abilities:
HP +30%--------------: Lv. 54 Forked Cat
Strength +35%--------: Lv. 24 Tonberry
Resist Physical +36%-: Lv. 48 Green Chocobo
Resist Magic +36%----: Lv. 23 Mewmao
Role Resonance-------: Lv. 30 Frag Leech
Siphon Boost II------: Lv. 18 Fencer
Chain Bonus Boost II-: Lv. 30 Pink Lily
A quick investigation of these monsters reveals that they do not possess any
undesirable, high-ranked passive abilities that may cause trouble, with the
exception of Tonberry, which learns Magic +35% (7) at Lv. 22. If infused
directly into Chichu, Tonberry's Magic +35% would be higher-ranked than Feral
Speed II, Siphon Boost II, Chain Bonus Boost II, Attack: ATB Charge II, and
Pack Mentality. If Tonberry was infused first, Magic +35% would force one of
the desired passive abilities to disappear.
There are multiple ways to bypass this problem. Consider Yellow Locks. While
you can yellow-lock every passive ability for Chichu's build, note that Pack
Mentality can only be farmed in unlimited quantities from Chichu and Nanochu if
you have purchased the "Perpetual Battlefield" DLC. For players without this
DLC, sacrificing Nanochu, a one-of-a-kind monster, may not be worth it just to
yellow-lock Chichu's Pack Mentality.
To get around this, consider using a filter monster. A filter monster is a
monster that can be used to get rid of passive abilities that you do not want.
Examine the passive abilities of a Lv. 19 Mud Frog:
Mud Frog, Lv. 19
01) Perpetual Poison (RL)
02) Critical: Tetradefense (RL)
03) Critical: Bravery (RL)
04) Critical: Faith (RL)
05) Critical: Haste (RL)
Mud Frog has five red-locked passive abilities, so it only has five free
passive slots. If Magic +35% is infused into Mud Frog first, it will only take
five Rank 7 passive abilities to remove it. Take a second look at Chichu's
high-ranked passive abilities. You will notice that it has enough passive
abilities to completely remove Magic +35%.
Instead of infusing directly into Chichu, use Mud Frog. Infuse Tonberry, Green
Chocobo, and Mewmao into Mud Frog in that exact order. At this stage, Mud
Frog's build should look like:
Mud Frog, Lv. 19
01) Perpetual Posion (RL)------->from Mud Frog
02) Critical: Tetradefense (RL)->from Mud Frog
03) Critical: Bravery (RL)------>from Mud Frog
04) Critical: Faith (RL)-------->from Mud Frog
05) Critical: Haste (RL)-------->from Mud Frog
06) Resist Magic +36% (7)------->from Mewmao
07) HP +25% (7)----------------->from Mewmao
08) Resist Physical +36% (7)---->from Green Chocobo
09) Strength +35% (7)----------->from Tonberry
10) Magic +35%% (7)------------->from Tonberry
</pre><pre id="faqspan-9">
Because Tonberry was infused before the others, its passive abilities are now
at the bottom of the list.
Infuse Frag Leech, then Forked Cat. You should now have:
Mud Frog, Lv. 19
01) Perpetual Posion (RL)------->from Mud Frog
02) Critical: Tetradefense (RL)->from Mud Frog
03) Critical: Bravery (RL)------>from Mud Frog
04) Critical: Faith (RL)-------->from Mud Frog
05) Critical: Haste (RL)-------->from Mud Frog
06) HP +30% (8)----------------->from Forked Cat
07) Role Resonance (7)---------->from Frag Leech
08) Resist Magic +36% (7)------->from Mewmao
09) Resist Physical +36% (7)---->from Green Chocobo
10) Strength +35% (7)----------->from Tonberry
Magic +35% disappears because Role Resonance was introduced. HP +30% becomes
yellow-locked because Forked Cat's HP +30% is a higher-ranked "Same-Type"
passive ability as Mud Frog's HP +25%, which is an example of the Yellow Lock
Fundamental Rule.
Next, infuse Mud Frog into Chichu, which results in:
Chichu, Lv. 70
01) HP +30% (YL)---------------->from Mud Frog
02) Strength +35% (YL)---------->from Mud Frog
03) Role Resonance (7)---------->from Mud Frog
04) Resist Magic +36% (7)------->from Mud Frog
05) Resist Physical +36% (7)---->from Mud Frog
06) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)--->from Chichu
07) Feral Speed II (6)---------->from Chichu
08) Pack Mentality (4)---------->from Chichu
Infusing Fencer and Pink Lily into Chichu grants it the final two desired
passive abilities, Siphon Boost II and Chain Bonus Boost II. Note that when
Fencer is infused, its Strength +20% unlocks Chichu's yellow-locked
Strength +35%, due to the Yellow Unlock Rule.
In the end, Chichu should look like:
Chichu, Lv. 70
01) HP +30% (YL)---------------->from Chichu
02) Strength +35% (7)----------->from Chichu
03) Role Resonance (7)---------->from Chichu
04) Resist Magic +36% (7)------->from Chichu
05) Resist Physical +36% (7)---->from Chichu
06) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)---->from Pink Lily
07) Siphon Boost II (6)--------->from Fencer
08) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)--->from Chichu
09) Feral Speed II (6)---------->from Chichu
10) Pack Mentality (4)---------->from Chichu
Congratulations! You have successfully built Chichu, one of the most powerful
COMs in the game.
Remember, there are multiple ways to build a monster, as most passive abilities
can be obtained from multiple sources. Save your game before you start to
infuse and play around to see what works best for you.
+-------------------------------------+
| Step-by-Step Directions - [SSDirec] |
+-------------------------------------+
If you have read everything about Infusion up to this point, you should have a
good grasp on Infusion mechanics. Below is a step-by-step guide that you can
use as a reference when you build your own monsters.
..............................................................................
01) Raise your monster to its maximum level.
..............................................................................
02) Decide on which passive abilities that you want your monster to know. If
your monster has a Red Lock on one or more passive abilities, remember that
red-locked passive abilities cannot be removed under any circumstances.
..............................................................................
03) Compile a list of monsters that have the passive abilities you want your
monster to learn. Refer to the Passive Ability Rank List, so that you can
rank the abilities you want, and Section 15 - Notable Passive Abilities
[NPAblty], which recommends monster sources for commonly-infused passive
abilities.
..............................................................................
04) Do not forget to save your game before infusing.
..............................................................................
05) Infuse the monsters with the passive abilities you desire into your
monster. If your monster has gained all of the desired passive abilities,
you have succeeded. If not, move to Step 6.
..............................................................................
06) If one of your desired passive abilities disappeared because a higher
ranked passive ability took priority, proceed to Step 7. If more than one
desired passive ability disappeared, or if the unwanted passive ability has
too high of a Rank, go to Step 8 instead.
..............................................................................
07) Use a filter monster, like Mud Frog, to remove the unnecessary passive
ability. For example, infuse the monster with the unneeded passive ability
into a Lv. 19 Mud Frog. Afterward, infuse the monsters with higher ranked
desired passive abilities into Mud Frog to bump the unwanted passive
ability off of its list. Mud Frog should now have five, unlocked, desired
passive abilities. Infuse Mud Frog into your monster to transfer all five
desired passive abilities. Note that a filter monster will only work if the
unwanted passive ability is of a low enough Rank that it can be removed
without using Yellow Locks. If it cannot, move to Step 8.
..............................................................................
08) In situations when your monster has more than one ability that needs to be
removed, or if an undesired passive ability is too highly ranked to be
bumped off, use Yellow Locks to protect your monster's desired passive
abilities. By doing so, yellow-locked, desired passive abilities cannot
be removed, regardless of Rank, unless they are unlocked.
..............................................................................
09) Once your monster has all of your desired passive abilities, infuse all of
the necessary Role abilities into it. Role abilities should be infused
after all desired passive abilities are acquired, as to do so earlier might
result in a more difficult overall Infusion Process. Refer to the Role
Abilities list, so that you can decide which Role abilities you want.
..............................................................................
10) Finally, infuse 99 levels worth of monsters in the opposite Role of your
monster to learn its hidden Role ability. Hidden Role abilities should be
infused after all desired passive abilities are acquired, as to do so
earlier might result in a more difficult overall Infusion Process.

+-----------------+
| Purpose/History |
+-----------------+
On March 29th, 2012, I, BMSirius, began a special project to gather together
the "build gurus" of the GameFAQs Final Fantasy XIII-2 message board to create
an exhaustive, in-depth, and widely agreed-upon collection of builds for the
most powerful monsters in the game. The project has since expanded to include
all sorts of monsters, but the goal remains the same - each build will be
scrutinized by the building community to include only the best passive
abilities, with testing, research, and personal experience to back up all
information.
Later, on April 29th, 2012, I invited Taly932, an avid contributor to the
project and the editor of Section 12 - Top-Tier Builds [TTBuild] and Section 13
- DLC Builds [DLCBild], to co-author the In-Depth Build Sections with me by
having her write Section 14 - Notable Monster Builds [NMBuild]. As was my case
with sakurayule, her work has since expanded to cover the entirety of the
Monster Infusion FAQ.

| Content Description |
+---------------------+
Each section will have its own explanation as to what kinds of monsters fit
into it and what criteria were used. Please carefully read each heading to
understand what logic was used to place monsters in a specific section.
Aside from those found in Section 14 - Notable Monsters [NMBuild], each monster
build will have the following pieces of information:
..............................................................................
"The Build" is a list of 10 passive abilities that was the most generally
agreed-upon combination of passive abilities by the building community. It will
rarely have only 8 or 9 passive abilities and present options for the remaining
slots - this is only in severe cases where the remaining options were held in
equal regard by various building community members.
..............................................................................
"Monster Materials to Use" contains recommended level-up material choices based
off of the monster's purpose and the Monster Growth Spreadsheets.
..............................................................................
"Crystarium Expansions" (choosing between increasing ATB or learning Bonus
Boosts) are decided based on the number of Expansions the individual monster
gets and the usefulness of each option.
..............................................................................
"Additional Abilities" refers to inheritable Role abilities, such as Ruinga for
COMs, Fearsiphon for RAVs, and the hidden Role abilities, such as Jeopardize
and Vigor. You can search the Tameable Monster List to find monsters that can
teach such abilities, although the hidden Role abilities must be acquired in a
special way.
..............................................................................
"Purpose of this Monster" is an in-depth analysis of what the monster
can and should be used for, including all of the monster's advantages,
disadvantages, and special properties. It also occasionally serves to explain
the reasons for using certain passive abilities on the monster.
..............................................................................
"Alternatives" is a section that serves a dual purpose. The first is to offer
other strong options in place of existing passive abilities, based off of play
style, desired use of the monster, or any other factors. The second is to
address and discourage certain popular passive ability choices that have
recently come under scrutiny. Be sure to read the description of each passive
ability to find out which one of these stipulations applies to it.
..............................................................................
"Infusion Process" shows how to create the monster. The creator of the infusion
process will also be credited. We have NO pretense that we are presenting the
absolute best or most efficient steps - there are multiple ways to create a
monster, and, often times, many different steps can be taken to achieve the
same result. We simply present one build by one author to help players create
their monster. Note that how to add on Alternatives is not addressed here - you
will have to figure that out on your own.

With the exception of the Infusion Processes, which were mostly written by
one person, every build here had been scrutinized by a large group of

|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
Not everyone wants to explore their options. For those that do not, this
section is for you.
This section only includes monsters who have proven to be instrumental for the
fastest times against the most difficult or farmable post-game opponents. If
you wish to keep your infusions to a minimum while still having everything you
need, you should create the following monsters:
Chichu (COM) - For Raspatil, Nabaat, Gilgamesh, and Valfodr.
Cactuar (COM) - For Yomi, Typhon & Ultros, and Snow.
Cloudburst (RAV) - For Gilgamesh, due to its Feral Link, Friendly Fire.
Goblin Chieftain (SEN) - For Gilgamesh, due to its Feral Link, Spirit Infusion.
Purple Chocobo (SYN) - For general use, good against all opponents.
Yakshini (SYN) - For Valfodr, due to its Feral Link, Fanatical Dance.
The builds themselves can be found below, in Section 12 - Top-Tier Builds
[TTBuild].
The monsters outlined above are not necessarily ONLY good for their listed
battles. The minimalist player should be able to tackle every challenge in the
game by creating well-built versions of these monsters.

o----------------------------------o
Top-Tier can be difficult to define. For the purpose of the Monster Infusion
FAQ, Top-Tier will be defined in relation to DLC and post-game content. When
you are exploring the main game, there are many other factors to consider in a
monster - availability, material efficiency, combat performance, etc. - all of
which lose significance once you beat the game and progress in strength. In
addition, the post-game consists entirely of difficult bosses, Coliseum
battles, and Crystal/Generator farming. Random encounters lose their difficulty
entirely with a fully-developed party, so that factor will not be addressed.
Instead, the focus will be on the boss and Coliseum battles.
A monster is considered Top-Tier under one of two circumstances:
1. It serves a specific role that it is the absolute best at, such as dealing
with a particular challenging fight (e.g. Cactuar for Yomi, Typhon & Ultros,
and Snow).
2. It is the best at what it does, even if what it does is not in demand (e.g.
Pulse Gladiator, all SABs and MEDs).
Many powerful monsters, including fan favorites, such as Red Chocobo and
Twilight Odin, will not found here, because there are other monsters that do
their jobs better than them. This is not to say that they are weak in any way,
and, if you wish to use them, you should do more than fine. Such monsters can
be found in Section 14 - Notable Monster Builds [NMBuild]. All DLC-related
monsters can be found in Section 13 - DLC Builds [DLCBild].
When referring to a level, the Monster Infusion FAQ refers to BECOMING that
level. For example, "Potent at level 11" means that you use Potent Materials
when your monster is currently level 10 and is BECOMING level 11. Thus, for
something like "Potent for levels 11-19", you would use Potent for 10->11,
11->12, 12->13, 13->14, 14->15, 15->16, 16->17, 17->18, and 18->19. This would
NOT include 19->20, as 19 is the final level recommended.
When referencing the various Infusion Processes, keep in mind that each
sacrificial monster is to only be raised to the level indicated and is not to
be infused with additional passive abilities unless otherwise specified. Note
that the Infusion Process provided for each monster is NOT the only way to
create it. There are often many paths to the same result, some of which may be
even more efficient than the ones listed here. These are simply examples that
you can utilize if you do not wish to create an Infusion Process of your own.
..............................................................................
[TTBLD01]
Monster------: Cactuar
Monster Role-: Commando
Constellation: Cactuar
The Build:
01) Resist Elements +30% (YL)
02) HP +30% (YL)
03) Strength +35% (YL)
04) Resist Physical +36% (YL)
05) Resist Magic +36% (YL)
06) Role Resonance (YL)
07) Siphon Boost II (YL)
08) Chain Bonus Boost II (YL)
09) Attack: ATB Charge II (YL)
10) Gilfinder II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Power.
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Cactuar Adrenaline, Blindside, Faultsiphon, and
Lifesiphon. Then teach it Jeopardize by infusing 99
levels worth of RAV monsters into it.
Purpose of this Monster-: Cactuar functions primarily as Yomi's worst enemy. It
has Bravery Feeder and Protect Feeder, instantly
stealing those buffs from Yomi during its
Impenatrable Aura and increasing its own power. It
can also use Deprotect Chaser against a Deprotected
opponent, which is just as effective as Armor
Breaker. This combination of abilities, as well as
its prowess in ground and aerial combat, makes it the
best COM to use against Yomi, as well as a good
choice for Typhon & Ultros and Snow. Unfortunately,
it also learns Stagger: Wound, which overrides
Deprotect Chaser against staggered opponents.
However, Yomi strategies rarely involve Stagger. It
also performs well against Raspatil, and, with
Gilfinder II, makes for an efficient gil farmer.
Using Gilfinder II necessitates that Serah and Noel
equip Durable Collector's Catalogues in order to earn
the most gil at the cost of their accessory slots.
Having Item Collector on it negates the need for
either Serah or Noel to equip a Durable Collector's
Catalog for Trapezohedron farming, as it does not
stack with the Durable Collector's Catalog's Item
Scavenger MAX. All in all, Cactuar is useful in any
situation. If you yellow-lock all of its passive
abilities except for Item Collector, you can freely
adjust its last passive slot with anything you wish
(Item Collector, Feral Speed II, etc.).
Alternatives:
Critical: Haste (8)-----: This passive ability can be used in place of Item
Collector if you no longer need to farm gil or items,
as it bestows a rare status buff that SYNs cannnot
cast when Cactuar reaches critical condition.
Auto-Bravery (7)--------: For random battles when you start with Cactuar. It
also naturally learns it, making it a normal choice.
However, it is generally inefficient against bosses,
since you should not generally lead with a COM. If
you only use Cactuar for general use, consider using
Auto-Bravery over Gilfinder II.
Item Collector (6)------: If you want the maximum chance of obtaining Yomi's
Trapezohedron (or any other rare item from any
opponent) without wasting Serah and Noel's accessory
slots on Durable Collector's Catalogs, use this.
Feral Speed II (6)------: Cactuar's Feral Link, 1000 Needles, only inflicts a
paltry 1,000 damage. However, Feral Speed II on an
active monster also increases the charge rate of the
inactive monsters in your Paradigm Pack. Hypnocrowns
equipped on Serah or Noel can either substitute for
this passive ability or augment it.
Kill: ATB Charge (5)----: For random encounters, this passive ability helps
Cactuar relentlessly move from enemy to enemy, since
it cannot use area-of-effect attacks well. This
serves absolutely no purpose for boss battles.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium Constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other COM damage modifiers. If you want
to maximize Cactuar's damage and do not mind limiting
your monster choices, consider using Pack Mentality
in place of Gilfinder II.

Additional Abilities:
Adrenaline--------------: Lv. 13 Orion or L. v22 Sarracenia
Faultsiphon-------------: Lv. 10 Goblin
Infusion Notes:
Cactuar's build was inspired by the idea of switching Cactuar's last passive
slot at will to adjust for any situation. The default Gilfinder II will help in
most cases, particularly Raspatil. Infusing a Lv. 40 Gancanagh Ace or a Lv. 14
Apotamkin will replace it with Item Collector for farming Yomi or other
monsters with desirable rare drops (although a single Durable Collector's
Catalog negates that need). If necessary, Gilfinder II can be restored with a
simple Lv. 01 Moblin infusion. If Cactuar no longer serves a farming purpose
for you, Critical: Haste can be used to take advantage of its poor HP,
Auto-Bravery or Kill: ATB Charge can expedite random battles, and Pack
Mentality can strengthen Cactuar during boss battles and Coliseum challenges.
While all monsters have this freedom if you yellow-lock all of their low-rank
passive abilities, Cactuar is especially adept at farming bosses and does not
have a single Red Lock to get in its way. If you do not care for such
versatility, you can likely create a build that uses fewer monsters, so long as
Caterchipillar's Auto-Veil is filtered out.

Monster------: Chichu
Monster Role-: Commando
Constellation: Ochu
The Build:
01) HP +30% (8)
02) Strength +35% (7)
03) Resist Physical +36% (7)
04) Resist Magic +36% (7)
05) Role Resonance (7)
06) Feral Speed II (6)
07) Siphon Boost II (6)
08) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
09) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
10) Pack Mentality (4)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Power.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Chichu Ruinga, Adrenaline, and Lifesiphon. Then
teach it Jeopardize by infusing 99 levels worth of
RAV monsters into it.
Special Notes-----------: Chichu's Alternatives are tailored toward specific
circumstances and should generally only be used on a
Chichu that has lost Pack Mentality and has room for
an additional passive ability.
Purpose of this Monster-: Chichu excels under almost any condition, boasting
incredible attack speed, the highest Strength amongst
Top-Tier COMs, and various, useful innate skills.
Armor Breaker is what truly sets it apart from other
COMs, but the addition of Bravery Feeder, Faith
Feeder, and Vigilance Feeder make it useful in any
battle. Chichu is one of two monsters in the game
that carries an unlocked Pack Mentality, which you
can use to either pass it on to another monster or
use an all-Ochu Paradigm Pack to further increase its
power. Its biggest disadvantage is that it can't
jump, forcing it to use Ruin against aerial and
launched, staggered opponents.
Alternatives:
Auto-Bravery (7) -------: For random battles where you start with Chichu.
However, it is generally inefficient against bosses,
since you should not generally lead with a COM. If
you only use Chichu for general use, consider using
Auto-Bravery over Feral Speed II or Pack Mentality.
Resist Pain +66% (6)----: Solely for Gilgamesh. Pain can be removed by using a
Painkiller as well, but Resist Pain +66% might
prevent it from occurring in the first place. If you
are not using Pack Mentality, this could be put in
its place.
Gilfinder II (6)--------: If you want to maximize the amount of gil you obtain
from Raspatil (or any battle that yields a high
amount of gil), consider using this, especially if
you do not wish to use Pack Mentality.
Item Collector (6)------: If you want the maximum chance of obtaining Yomi's
Trapezohedron (or any other rare item from any
opponent) without wasting Serah and Noel's accessory
slots on Durable Collector's Catalogs, consider
using this, especially if you do not wish to use
Pack Mentality.
Kill: ATB Charge (5)----: For random encounters, this passive ability helps
Chichu relentlessly move from enemy to enemy, since
it cannot use area-of-effect attacks well. This
serves little-to-no purpose against Nabaat or
Gilgamesh, which is when Chichu is most needed,
although it might prove useful against Valfodr's
summoned monsters.

04) Resist Physical +36% (7)

07) Quick Stagger (7)
08) Siphon Boost II (6)
09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: Mana for levels 2-10 and 41-99. Potent for levels
11-40. All-Vitality is viable as well, if you prefer
greater durability at the expense of slightly less
damage.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB, +1 Bonus Boost.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Blue Chocobo the full gamut of RAV spells -
this includes Fire, Thunder, Fira, Thundara, Firaga,
and Thundaga. Then teach it Vigor by infusing 99
levels worth of COM monsters into it.
Purpose of this Monster-: Blue Chocobo receives 6 ATB and a single RAV Bonus
Boost, which, coupled with its respectable Magic,
lets it become a fine RAV in almost any situation.
However, it has its downsides. Its casting speed is,
on average, slower than popular RAVs like Cloudburst
and Lightning, and its damage will suffer against
Magic-resistant opponents. Also, keep in mind that
Role Resonance only works in a Tri-Disaster Paradigm,
although the 20% boosts to its Strength and Magic are
significant under those circumstances.
Alternatives:
Critical: Haste (8)-----: This is always a practical choice for any monster
that does not need additional defenses, but, for
Blue Chocobo, it deserves special mention because
Blue Chocobo naturally learns it, it is difficult to
remove, and it is easily a better choice over Role
Resonance if you do not use the Tri-Disaster
Paradigm.
Stagger Maintenance II--: If Blue Chocobo is the one to stagger an opponent,
Stagger Maintenance II ensures that it stays
staggered for 30% longer. This passive ability is
also synergetic with Quick Stagger. However, it is
often possible to reach the maximum Stagger duration
of 45 seconds without this passive ability at all,
and, as a result, Stagger Maintenance II serves more
as "duration insurance" instead. This can be
especially handy for unrelenting opponents like
Gilgamesh and Valfodr.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium Constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Blue Chocobo's damage and do not mind
limiting your monster choices, consider using Pack
Mentality in place of Resist Magic +36% or Role
Resonance.

07) Feral Speed II (6)
08) Siphon Boost II (6)
09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana. All-Vitality is viable as well, if you
prefer greater durability at the expense of slightly
less damage.
Crystarium Expansion----: +1 ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Cloudburst the full gamut of RAV spells - this
includes Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Fira, Blizzara,
Thundara, Firaga, Thundaga, and Fearsiphon. Then
teach it Vigor by infusing 99 levels worth of
COM monsters into it.
Purpose of this Monster-: Cloudburst is a very interesting Ravager - it has
high Magic and superior casting speed, but its
behavior is somewhat erratic. Against some opponents
(non-moving ones in particular), it casts spells so
fast that its entire 4-spell chain is finished in
one second. However, it only has a maximum ATB of 4,
and, against moving opponents, its casting speed can
become significantly slow. Pay attention to its
activity in any given battle and see if it is the
right RAV for the situation. Also, keep in mind that
Role Resonance only works in a Tri-Disaster Paradigm,
although the 20% boosts to Strength and Magic are
significant under those circumstances.
Alternatives:
Auto-Haste (9)----------: Auto-Haste, coupled with Auto-Bravery, can supply
other buffs not bestowed by Cloudburst's Friendly
Fire. However, like Auto-Bravery, Cloudburst cannot
use this passive ability unless it is used first in
battle.
Resist Physical +36% (7): While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and Vigor,
post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents telegraph
their most powerful Magic-based attacks, giving you
plenty of time to prepare an adequate defense. As
such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36% should prove
to be more useful in general, especially against
Gilgamesh. However, because Cloudburst has two Red
Locks, it only has enough room for HP +30%. On the
other hand, it is very practical to remove one of
Cloudburst's more situational passive abilities, like
Role Resonance or Feral Speed II, to make room for
Resist Physical +36%. To completely maximize its
defenses, remove both Role Resonance and Feral
Speed II so Cloudburst has room for HP +30%, Resist
Physical+36%, and Resist Magic +36%.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: See above.
Auto-Bravery (7)--------: Auto-Bravery, coupled with Auto-Haste, can supply
other buffs not bestowed by Cloudburst's Friendly
Fire. However, like Auto-Haste, Cloudburst cannot use
this passive ability unless it is used first in
battle.
Stagger Maintenance II--: If Cloudburst is the one to stagger an opponent,
Stagger Maintenance II ensures that it stays
staggered for 30% longer. This passive ability is
also synergetic with Quick Stagger. However, it is
often possible to reach the maximum Stagger duration
of 45 seconds without this passive ability at all,
and, as a result, Stagger Maintenance II serves more
as "duration insurance" instead. This can be
especially handy for unrelenting opponents like
Gilgamesh and Valfodr.

07) Resist Physical +36% (7)
08) Resist Magic +36% (7)
09) Feral Speed II (6)
10) Improved Ward (5)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Vitality.
Crystarium Expansion----: +1 Bonus Boost.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Goblin Chieftain Challenge and Deathward.
Ignore Entrench, as counterattacks are not desired.
Then teach it Reprieve by infusing 99 levels worth of
MED monsters into it.
Purpose of this Monster-: Goblin Chieftain has low HP compared to other SENs,
even when raised on All-Vitality. While its Strength
is much too low to focus on offense in any way,
especially since raising its Strength via materials
would mean lowering its HP, Goblin Chieftain stands
out for a very special reason. As it soaks up damage,
it will charge its Feral Link, Spirit Infusion, which
slightly recovers Wound damage for the entire party
while adding Bravery, Protect, Shell, Veil, and
Vigilance. This negates the need for Serah and Noel
to become SYNs and pairs up well with the typical
augment-oriented SYN in getting the party completely
buffed. Raising a SEN is largely unnecessary in this
game, but, if you need one, consider Golbin
Chieftain. No other SEN can match the advantages of
Goblin Chieftain's Feral Link.
Alternatives:
Critical: Haste (8)-----: Although it is unlikely, Goblin Chieftain has the
lowest HP of the Top-Tier SENs, so this may be
activated against the strongest of opponents. Haste
is also a rare buff that can be utilized by the
entire Paradigm Pack, which may prove useful in
extreme situations.
Critical: Tetradefense(8: Although it is unlikely, Goblin Chieftain has the
lowest HP of the Top-Tier SENs, so this may be
activated against the strongest of opponents. Its
Feral Link applies the exact same buffs, however,
making this passive ability somewhat redundant.
Rapid Recovery (8)------: This passive ability reduces the duration of status
ailments by 25%. This sounds more useful than it is
in practice, however. Usually, a status ailment can
either be ignored or it needs to be immediately
removed by items or Esuna. Neither of these
situations benefit from Rapid Recovery. Only use
this passive ability if you feel Goblin Chieftain
does not benefit from any of the other suggested
passive abilities.
Auto-Faith (7)----------: Auto-Faith, coupled with Auto-Haste, can supply other
buffs not bestowed by Goblin Chieftain's Spirit
Infusion. However, like Auto-Haste, Goblin Chieftain
cannot use this passive ability unless it is used
first in battle.
Critical: Shield II (6)-: This passive ability reduces incoming damage by 30%
for as long as Goblin Chieftain remains in critical
condition. Unlike other Critical: Buff passive
abilities, you do not need to reach critical
condition with Goblin Chieftain on the field - you
can switch out a monster in critical condition for
Goblin Chieftain and still benefit from the ability.

Monster Materials to Use: All-Vitality.
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 Bonus Boosts.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Pulse Gladiator Mediguard. Then teach it
Reprieve by infusing 99 levels worth of MED monsters
into it.
Special Notes-----------: You have the option of only raising Pulse Gladiator
to Lv. 68 to avoid learning Bonus CP, but the
additional passive slot will not be used for anything
more significant, and it learns HP +30% at Lv. 70.
Before you consider building it, remember that Pulse
Gladiator is the only source of Improved Counter II
for Infusion purposes, if you have not purchased the
"Perpetual Battlefield" DLC. If you do not have
this particular DLC, do not build Pulse Gladiator if
you plan to build an offensive SEN in the future.
Purpose of this Monster-: Pulse Gladiator is an impressive SEN, even without
any passive abilities infused into it. It naturally
resists Wind damage and all status ailments by 90%
and halves physical and magic damage. Infusing
additional passive abilities makes Pulse Gladiator
the greatest defensive SEN in the game. Note that it
is not likely to ever reach critical condition and it
has a poor Feral Link, so Critical: Tetradefense and
Feral Speed II could be replaced, although Feral
Speed II helps the rest of the monsters in your
Paradigm Pack recharge their Feral Links as well.
Alternatives:
</pre><pre id="faqspan-10">
Resilience +40% (8)-----: Due to compounding resistances, Pulse Gladiator only
benefits from a mere 4% in ailment resistance.
However, some may consider an extra 4% in ailment
resistance to be superior to Critical: Tetradefense
or Feral Speed II.
Critical: Shield II (6)-: This passive ability reduces incoming damage by 30%
for as long as Pulse Gladiator remains in critical
condition. Unlike other Critical: Buff passive
abilities, you do not need to reach critical
condition with Pulse Gladiator on the field - you can
switch out a monster in critical condition for Pulse
Gladiator and still benefit from the ability.

Crystarium Expansions---: +2 ATB, +2 Bonus Boosts.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Black Chocobo Jinx by infusing 99 levels worth

Poison, Dispel, Curse, Fog, and/or Pain if you wish,
or you can keep it focused on its natural Deprotect,
Deshell, and Imperil. If you need the generally
ineffecient area-of-effect spells for any reason, you
can add Deshellga, Poisonga, Imperilga, Dispelga,
Cursega, and/or Painga (Fogga can't be learned).
Infusing additional abilities will not disrupt SAB

upgraded to First Strike through infusion.
Purpose of this Monster-: Black Chocobo is an all-around terrific SAB if you
need a monster to help you inflict status ailments.
It has a minimal selection of Strength-based attacks,
but it will ignore these in favor of Magic-based ones
unless the opponent is heavily resistant to Magic.
Aside from Wound, its core moveset has the best
damage-enhancing debuffs.
Alternatives:
Auto-Haste (9)----------: If you are certain that you will begin battles with
Black Chocobo, this passive ability can be useful, as
Haste cannot be cast by SYNs. Because of Haste's
beneficial nature, which can be transfered to the
rest of the Paradigm Pack, consider using this
passive ability over Feral Speed II.
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Black Chocobo lacks an elemental weakness,
this defensive passive ability may keep it safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Role Resonance (7)------: If you use the Infiltration Paradigm, consider this
passive ability, as it provides a 20% boost to Black
Chocobo's Strength and Magic.
Auto-Faith (7)----------: If you are certain that you will begin battles with
Black Chocobo, this passive ability can be useful,
as it increases Black Chocobo's Magic damage. Because
of Faith's Magic boost, which can be transfered to
the rest of the Paradigm Pack, try using this passive
ability over Feral Speed II.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium Constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Black Chocobo's damage and do not mind
limiting your monster choices, consider using Pack
Mentality in place of Feral Speed II.

Remaining 2 Slots:
Auto-Haste (9)----------: If you are certain that you will begin battles with
Chelicerata, this passive ability can be useful, as
Haste cannot be cast by SYNs. Because of Haste's
beneficial nature, which can be transfered to the
rest of the Paradigm Pack, consider using this
passive ability.
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Chelicerata lacks an elemental weakness,
this defensive passive ability may keep it safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status

for post-game content is diminished.
Role Resonance (7)------: If you use the Infiltration Paradigm, consider this
passive ability, as it provides a 20% boost to
Chelicerata's Strength and Magic.
Auto-Faith (7)----------: If you are certain that you will begin battles with
Chelicerata, this passive ability can be useful,
as it increases Chelicerata's Magic damage. Because
of Faith's Magic boost, which can be transfered to
the rest of the Paradigm Pack, try using this passive
ability.
Monster Materials to Use: Mana for levels 2-20 and 61-99. Potent for levels
21-60.
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 ATB, +2 Bonus Boosts.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Chelicerata Deshell. Afterward, teach it Jinx
by infusing 99 levels worth of SYN monsters into it.
Then you can choose to add Poison, Curse, and/or Pain
if you wish. If you need the generally inefficient
area-of-effect spells for any reason, you can add
Poisonga, Dispelga, Cursega, and/or Painga (Fogga
can't be learned). Infusing additional abilities will
not disrupt SAB A.I., assuming that you wisely choose
-Cross or -Wide Paradigms.
Special Notes-----------: Do NOT teach Chelicerata Wound and Woundga. It is
naturally blessed to not know these abilities,
because SABs tend to add one Wound spell at the
beginning of each attack chain against
Wound-vulerable foes, which hampers its debuffing
potential.
Purpose of this Monster-: Chelicerata is comparable to Black Chocobo. It has
more Magic than Black Chocobo, but it suffers from
lower HP and a poorer casting speed. For what it
matters, it has slightly higher Strength and a
Strength-based Feral Link, Deathscythe, as opposed to
Black Chocobo's Magic-based Kweh Kweh. Chelicerata's
biggest advantage is that it has Improved Debuffing
II rather than Black Chocobo's weaker Improved
Debuffing, meaning that, spell-for-spell, it has a
higher chance of inflicting status ailments.

Monster Materials to Use: Mana for levels 2-10, 20, 30, and 40-98.Potent for
levels 11-19, 21-29, and 31-39.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB, +1 Bonus Boost. However, choosing +2 ATB, +2
Bonus Boosts instead is also viable if you prefer
buff duration over ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Purple Chocobo Faithga, Enfire, Enfrost and
Enthunder. Then teach it Boon by infusing 99 levels
worth of SAB monsters into it.
Special Notes-----------: Only raise it to Lv. 98 to avoid learning Veil, at
the cost of 80 HP and 42 Magic.
Purpose of this Monster-: Purple Chocobo's high maximum level, natural
defenses, and skillset makes it the best
augment-oriented SYN in the game. It can either
immediately transfer its Auto-Buffs to the rest of
the Paradigm Pack at the beginning of battle or stay
on the field long enough to enhance Serah and Noel
with augments while tanking attacks.
Alternatives:
HP +30% (8)-------------: Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% for maintaining
Adrenaline and Vigor on COMs and RAVs. For maximum
defense, consider replacing Auto-Bravery of First
Strike for this.
Auto-Vigilance (8)------: If you plan to use Purple Chocobo solely for passing
on Auto-Buffs to the rest of the Paradigm Pack, you
could replace Auto-Tetradefense with Auto-Vigilance,
Auto-Protect, and Auto-Shell in order to extend their
durations for 30 seconds more. If you decide to do
this, consider replacing Resist Physical +36% and
Resist Magic +36% with Auto-Protect and Auto-Shell.
Remember, while it is much easier to use these
replacements instead of capturing Tezcatlipoca for
Auto-Tetradefense, they are not necessarily the most
optimal options.
Auto-Protect (7)--------: See above.
Auto-Shell (7)----------: See above.
Defense Maintenance (5)-: This passive ability extends the duration of Protect,
Protectga, Shell, Shellga, Veil, Veilga, and
Vigilaga. Since defensive buffs last longer than
augments, though, the extended duration may not be
necessary for most battles.

Monster Role-: Synergist

10) Feral Speed II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: Mana for levels 2-10, 12-20, and 22-70. Potent for
levels 11 and 21.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB. However, choosing +1 ATB, +2 Bonus Boosts
instead is also viable if you prefer buff duration
over ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Yakshini Protectga, Shellga, Enfire, Enfrost,
Enthunder, and Enaero. Then teach her Boon by
infusing 99 levels worth of SABs into her.
Special Notes-----------: A Lv. 59 Yakshini only possesses augmentation spells,
at the cost of 1317 HP and 153 Magic. She is also
the only source of Defense Maintenance for infusion
purposes.
Purpose of this Monster-: Unlike Purple Chocobo, Yakshini does not appear to
be that great of a SYN at first glance. Her Magic is
subpar in comparison to other SYNs, she cannot have a
SYN Bonus Boost without sacrificing ATB segments, she
cannot serve as an augment-focused SYN without
severely crippling her HP and Magic, and she lacks
the valuable passive ability, Augment Maintenance II,
which would have somewhat compensated for her poor
Magic. While she does have some minor merits, such as
a fast casting speed, useful red-locked passive
ability, and the capability to serve as a competent
all-around SYN, Yakshini shines in battle because
of her Feral Link, Fanatical Dance. Fanatical Dance
bestows Protect, Shell, Bravery, Faith, Veil, and
Vigilance, with each buff in Yakshini's Feral Link
applying Boon to all buffs before it, which results
in a long-lasting application of almost every buff in
the game.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Yakshini lacks an elemental weakness, this
defensive passive ability may keep her safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Vigilance (8)------: If you plan to use Yakshini solely for passing on
Auto-Buffs to the rest of the Paradigm Pack, you

Auto-Protect, and Auto-Shell in order to extend their
durations for 30 seconds more. If you decide to do

Remaining 2 Slots:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Flanitor lacks an elemental weakness, this
defensive passive ability may keep it safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Role Resonance (7)------: If you use the Salvation Paradigm, this passive
ability gives a 20% increase to Flanitor's Magic,
offering a small boost to Cure effectiveness. Should
you find yourself needing three MEDs on the field at
once, consider Role Resonance.
Improved Raise II (6)---: This passive ability doubles the effect of Raise.
However, Flanitor will cure the dying before it
revives the KO'd, although this is not relevant if
you have one KO'd character and the other two are in
good health. In that time, you can use a Phoenix Down
or Phoenix Blood, which revives an ally, removes
Wound damage, and adds beneficial buffs like Protect
& Shell or Haste. If you dislike items for any
reason, Improved Raise II should prove useful. In
addition, there is a chance that Flanitor will
respond to a fallen ally with a quick Raise (assuming
there is no other damage to heal), and, in that
instance, you would benefit from this.
Critical: Faith (5)-----: Since Flanitor has naturally low HP, it might reach
critical condition more often than White Chocobo or
Green Chocobo. This passive ability will bestow
Faith as soon as Flanitor enters critical condition,
boosting the potency of its Cure spells. In addition,
Flanitor can pass Faith on to the rest of the
Paradigm Pack.
Critical: Bravery (5)---: While Bravery does nothing for Flanitor, this passive
ability can be used to pass Bravery on to the rest of
the Paradigm Pack after Flanitor reaches critical
condition.
Monster Materials to Use: Mana for levels 3, 5, 7, 9-10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20-30,
33, 35, 38, and 40. Potent for levels 2, 4, 6, 8, 11,
13, 15, 17, 19, 31-32, 34, 36-37, and 39.
Crystarium Expansion----: +1 ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Flanitor Curaja by infusing 99 levels worth of
SEN monsters into it.
Purpose of this Monster-: Flanitor is a useful MED that is much easier to raise
compared to White Chocobo and Green Chocobo. Its
greatest asset is its Feral Link, Hyper Rescue, which
heals the entire party and quickly recharges. While
its HP is much lower than other MEDs, it can be used
to your advantage, since Flanitor will require less
Cure spells to fully recover and has a higher chance
of activating Critical: Buff passive abilities. Its
main fault is Flanitor's single Crystarium Expansion,
so it cannot chain as many Cure spells together, its
ATB Gauge recharge rate is slightly slower, and it
does not gain any additional Cure power from MED
Bonus Boost.

Remaining 2 Slots:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Green Chocobo lacks an elemental weakness,
this defensive passive ability may keep it safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The

+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Resist Physical +36% (7): Green Chocobo naturally learns this defensive passive
ability. Under normal circumstances, it would
make sense to leave it on Green Chocobo. You could
even pair it with Resist Magic +36% to maximize Green
Chocobo's defenses. However, adding either reduces
Green Chocobo's chances to reach critical condition.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: See above.
Role Resonance (7)------: If you use the Salvation Paradigm, this passive
ability gives a 20% increase to Green Chocobo's
Magic, offering a small boost to Cure effectiveness.
Should you find yourself needing three MEDs on the
field at once, consider Role Resonance.
Ally KO: Power Surge II-: This passive ability increases Green Chocobo's
healing capabilities while an ally is KO'd. However,
it stops working the moment that the fallen ally is
revived.
Improved Raise II (6)---: This passive ability doubles the effect of Raise.
However, Green Chocobo will cure the dying before it
revives the KO'd, although this is not relevant if
you have one KO'd character and the other two are in
good health. In that time, you can use a Phoenix Down
or Phoenix Blood, which revives an ally, removes
Wound damage, and adds beneficial buffs like Protect
& Shell or Haste. If you dislike items for any
reason, Improved Raise II should prove useful. In
addition, there is a chance that Green Chocobo will
respond to a fallen ally with a quick Raise (assuming
there is no other damage to heal), and, in that
instance, you would benefit from this.
Critical: Power Surge II: This passive ability boosts Green Chocobo's Cure
potency for as long as it remains in critical
condition. Assuming that it is healing itself,
though, it will only take Green Chocobo one or two
spells to recover, reducing its effectiveness.
Critical: Shield II (6)-: This passive ability reduces incoming damage by 30%
for as long as Green Chocobo remains in critical
condition, potentially saving it from dying. However,
unlike other Critical: Buff passive abilities, the
defensive bonus disappears the moment Green Chocobo
recovers from critical condition, limiting its
overall usefulness.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Green Chocobo's spells and do not mind
limiting your monster choices, consider using Pack
Mentality.
Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB, +1 Bonus Boost.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Green Chocobo Esuna and Esunada. Then teach it
Curaja by infusing 99 levels worth of SEN monsters
into it.
Special Notes-----------: Only raise Green Chocobo to Lv. 98 to avoid learning
Bonus CP, at the cost of 81 HP and 21 Magic.
Purpose of this Monster-: Green Chocobo possesses enough defenses to reliably
bestow a myriad of status enhancements via Critical:
Buff passive abilities without fear of being
immediately KO'd afterward. If you can predict your
opponent's strongest attacks, you can switch to Green
Chocobo just in time to reach critical condition and
before it starts healing. If properly executed, Green
Chocobo will be imbued with the most helpful buffs,
which it can then pass on to the other monsters in
your Paradigm Pack after Green Chocobo is finished
healing. Green Chocobo also learns Cheer, so if you
need to use its Feral Link, Kweh Kweh, for any
reason, Cheer will help its Feral Link Gauge recharge
faster.

Monster------: White Chocobo
Monster Role-: Medic
Constellation: Chocobo
The Build:
01) Feral Surge (RL)
02) Feral Fatigue (RL)
03) Resist Elements +30% (9)
04) HP +30% (8)
05) Resilience +40% (8)
06) Critical: Haste (8)
07) Magic +35% (7)
08) Resist Physical +36% (7)
09) Resist Magic +36% (7)
10) Improved Cure II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: Mana for levels 21-30, 51-70, and 91-99. Potent for
levels 2-20, 31-50, and 71-90.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB, +1 Bonus Boost.
Additional Abilities----: Teach White Chocobo Curaja by infusing 99 levels
worth of SEN monsters into it.
Purpose of this Monster-: White Chocobo naturally halves physical and magic
attacks. When infused with defensive passive
abilities, White Chocobo can help sustain your party
in the toughest of situations.
Alternatives:
Role Resonance (7)------: If you use the Salvation Paradigm, this passive
ability gives a 20% increase to White Chocobo's
Magic, offering a small boost to Cure effectiveness.
Should you find yourself needing three MEDs on the
field at once, consider replacing Resilience +40% for
this.
Feral Speed II (6)------: White Chocobo's Feral Fatigue makes it a bad idea to
use its Feral Link, Kweh, in the middle of battle.
However, keep in mind that Feral Speed II also helps
to recharge the Feral Link Gauges of the rest of your
Paradigm Pack, too. If your other two monsters have
powerful Feral Links, you might want to use this
passive ability. If you monitor White Chocobo's Feral
Link Gauge you might be able to time it so that Feral
Surge activates in the midst of an important battle,
giving White Chocobo a wide range of useful buffs.
Ally KO: Power Surge II-: This passive ability increases White Chocobo's
healing capabilities while an ally is KO'd. However,
it stops working the moment that the fallen ally is
revived.
Improved Raise II (6)---: This passive ability doubles the effect of Raise.
However, White Chocobo will cure the dying before it
revives the KO'd, although this is not relevant if
you have one KO'd character and the other two are in
good health. In that time, you can use a Phoenix Down
or Phoenix Blood, which revives an ally, removes
Wound damage, and adds beneficial buffs like Protect
& Shell or Haste. If you dislike items for any
reason, Improved Raise II should prove useful. In
addition, there is a chance that White Chocobo will
respond to a fallen ally with a quick Raise (assuming
there is no other damage to heal), and, in that
instance, you would benefit from this.
Critical: Faith (5)-----: The chances of White Chocobo reaching critical
condition are slim, but, if it does, Critical: Faith
will provide a nice boost to Cure potency. In
addition, White Chocobo can pass Faith on to the rest
of the Paradigm Pack.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize White Chocobo's spells and do not mind
limiting your monster choices, consider using Pack
Mentality.

Rather than incorporating them into Tiers, DLC monsters have been given their
own section, because they are not an essential part of any post-game strategy.
DLC monsters tend to have several unique properties that make them interesting
and fun monsters. Download them if you want to fight them, use them if you like
them, and enjoy.
In this section, you may see an inordinate amount of references to Blitz/Ruinga
attacks or random encounters, especially compared to the Top Tier section,
which, for the most part, lacked such discussion. This is because the DLC
monsters tend to have exclusive versions of these abilities or a combination of
special properties that give them a unique edge. For example, Amodar's Blitz
does not require him to move and launches opponents; Omega's Ravage draws foes
toward it in order to prepare for its Blitz; Typhon has Auto Enfire, Auto
Enaero, Weak Spot, and a devastating Ruinga; Gilgamesh has both Armor Breaker
and Mind Piercer for his Blitz and Ruinga. These properties are exclusive
enough to warrant the discussion of random encounters for these monsters. While
this section will still follow the pattern started in Section 12 - Top-Tier
Builds [TTBuild] by prioritizing boss-killing builds, random encounter-killing
alternatives will also be explored, as they tend to make farming faster and
more fun.

Monster------: Omega
Monster Role-: Commando
Constellation: Fantasy, Champion
The Build:
01) Feral Surge (RL)
02) Feral Fatigue (RL)
03) Leadenstrike (RL)
04) HP +30% (8)
05) Strength +35% (7)
06) Resist Magic +36% (7)
07) Role Resonance (7)
08) Siphon Boost II (6)
09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: Power for levels 2-50, 52-60, 62-65, 67-80, 85, 90,
and 92-99. Potent for levels 51, 61, 66, 81-84,
86-89, and 91.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB, +1 Bonus Boost.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Omega Adrenaline and Faultsiphon. Then teach it
Jeopardize by infusing 99 levels worth of RAV
monsters into it.
Purpose of this Monster-: Omega's physical attack speed is just as impressive
as Chichu's. Omega's Attack animation consists of
three lasers per Attack, with each laser
independently activating Siphon Boost II and
Attack: ATB Charge II, which completely restores its
ATB and results in non-stop attacking. In addition,
its Ravage is a useful electric shockwave that stuns
and draws opponents in front of it, usually in
preparation for its flamethrower-like Blitz attack.
Omega's faults are threefold. First, it lacks useful
abilities, like Armor Breaker or Bravery Feeder.
Second, if its opponent is highly mobile, it must
take time to reposition itself between attacks.
Finally, it has the red-locked Leadenstrike, so you
want to make sure that its ATB starts out full. This
can be done by preemptively striking opponents or
timing Omega's switch-ins with ATB Refreshes. While
First Strike can also be used to circumvent
Leadenstrike, it is not necessary, as other means can
be used without wasting one of Omega's limited
passive slots.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Because Omega is weak to Lightning attacks, this
passive ability may keep it safe from powerful
Lightning attacks, such as Valfodr's Thundaga. If you
find yourself frequently thwarted by elemental
attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Resist Physical +36% (7): While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. However, because Omega naturally
halves physical damage, HP +30% and Resist Magic +36%
are generally superior defensive passive abilities,
since Resist Physical +36%'s benefits are reduced.
Auto-Bravery (7)--------: Omega's unique Ravage and Blitz attacks make it a
fun and effective COM for random battles. Use this
passive ability if you only plan to use Omega for
this specific purpose. However, it is generally
inefficient against bosses, since you should not
generally lead with a COM. If you only use Omega for
general use, consider using Auto-Bravery over Resist
Magic +36%.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium Constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Omega's damage and do not mind limiting your
monster choices, consider using Pack Mentality in
place of Resist Magic +36%.

Constellation: Fantasy, Champion

08) Siphon Boost II (6)
09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Power.
Crystarium Expansions---: None.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Amodar Ruinga, Faultsiphon and Lifesiphon. Then
teach him Jeopardize by infusing 99 levels worth of
RAV monsters into him.
Purpose of this Monster-: Amodar's high HP allows him to serve as an offensive
tank. Instead of using a SEN for the Tortoise
Paradigm, you can substitute Amodar and use
Guarded Assault instead, which allows you to
stabilize the opponent's Chain Gauge while reducing
damage to your party. Amodar is a slow attacker for
ground combat, and his Strength is lower than the
Top-Tier COMs. However, he has two unique properties
that sets him apart from others. First, he throws a
Fire-based grenade for his Blitz attack, which,
upon exploding, launches all of his opponents into
the air. Second, against launched opponents, flying
enemies, and large ground-based foes, Amodar uses
his blindingly-fast, multi-hit chaingun, making him
one of the best COMs to use for aerial combat.
Unfortunately, Amodar lacks useful abilities like
Armor Breaker and Bravery Feeder, so he does not
excel at any particular role.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Amodar lacks an elemental weakness, this
defensive passive ability may keep him safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Bravery (7) -------: Amodar's Blitz is not the fastest, but his ability
to launch un-staggered opponents is unique and
practical. Use this passive ability if you only plan
to use Amodar for this specific purpose. However, it
is generally inefficient against bosses, since you
should not generally lead with a COM. If you only use
Amodar for general use, consider using Auto-Bravery
over Feral Speed II.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium Constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Amodar's damage and do not mind limiting
your monster choices, consider using Pack Mentality
in place of Feral Speed II.

Monster------: Typhon
Monster Role-: Commando
Constellation: Fantasy, Champion
The Build:

09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana.
Crystarium Expansions---: None.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Typhon Adrenaline and Faultsiphon. Then, teach
him Jeopardize by infusing 99 levels worth of RAV
monsters into him.
Purpose of this Monster-: As a Magic-based COM, Typhon is comparable to
Metallicactuar, as it has slightly higher Magic and
Mind Piercer. Unfortunately, he is much slower than
other Magic-based COMs. That said, he starts with a
free En- buff against opponents weak to Fire or Wind.
More importantly, though, if he is enhanced with an
En- buff that his opponent is weak against, he will
inflict an extra 15% more damage due to Weak Spot.
Typhon excels at finishing random encounters, not
defeating bosses. Weak Spot, Auto Enfire, and Auto
Enaero are much more likely to activate against
random encounters, and his Ruinga is one of the
strongest in the game. In fact, two Faith-boosted
Ruingas can eliminate a group of PuPu. Typhon
innately halves physical and magic damage, making
him sturdy enough to tank multiple attacks.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Typhon lacks an elemental weakness, this
defensive passive ability may keep him safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Valfodr's
Thundaga. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Resist Physical +36% (7): While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. However, because Typhon has three
Red Locks and naturally halves physical and magic
damage, he only needs HP +30%, since Resist Physical
+36% and Resist Magic +36%'s benefits are reduced. On
the other hand, it is very practical to remove one of
Typhon's more situational passive abilities, like
Feral Speed II, to make room for Resist Physical
+36%. To completely maximize his defenses, remove
both Feral Speed II and Chain Bonus Boost II so
Typhon has room for HP +30%, Resist Physical +36%,
and Resist Magic +36%.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: See above.
Auto-Faith (7)----------: For random battles when you start with Typhon.
However, it is generally inefficient against bosses,
since you should not generally lead with a COM. If
you only use Typhon for general use, consider using
Auto-Faith over Feral Speed II.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium Constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to

Monster------: Gilgamesh
Monster Role-: Commando
Constellation: Fantasy, Champion

04) Strength +35% (7)
05) Magic +35% (7)

09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Potent. All-Power is viable as well.
Crystarium Expansions---: None.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Gilgamesh Adrenaline, Faultsiphon, and
Powerchain. Then teach him Jeopardize by infusing 99
levels worth of RAV monsters into him.
Special Notes-----------: Because Stagger: Wound supercedes Armor Breaker and
Mind Piercer against staggered opponents, you could
only raise Gilgamesh to Lv. 09 to avoid learning
Stagger: Wound, at the cost of 1,019 HP, 68 Strength,
and 32 Magic.
Purpose of this Monster-: Gilgamesh has many unique properties. He innately
halves all elemental, physical, and magic damage,
making him very defensive. He has Armor Breaker and
Mind Piercer, which makes him more effective against
opponents that resist or halve physical and magic
attacks. During his normal attack chain, his first,
third, and fifth hits all use Excalipoor, which only
inflicts 1 damage. His last Attack uses Muramasa,
attacking for reduced damage but healing Gilgamesh
by 10% of the damage dealt. If Armor Breaker or
Stagger: Wound are active, however, all of these
special properties disappear and deal normal damage
for all six Attacks. His aerial physical attack speed
is exceptional and suffers from none of the
aforementioned quirks, as he stops using his swords
and attacks with Death Claw, which deals 10% Wound
damage of the damage dealt without Stagger: Wound
active. While his Blitz is nothing special, his
Ravage becomes Cross Slash, an attack with a slow
start-up and an impressive range. As for his Magic
attacks, he has a lightning-fast casting speed, with
Mind Piercer to boot. Finally, his Feral Link,
Divider, inflicts massive damage and has a long
animation, freezing an opponent's Chain Gauge so that
Serah and Noel can continue to inflict additional
damage. Unfortunately, while Gilgamesh has many
unique properties, he does not excel at anything more
than other COMs due to his lack of raw stats and an
inability to force him to consistently use Ruin.
However, his Blitz and Ruinga spells are useful for
random encounters.
Alternatives:
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Resist Physical +36% (7): While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. However, because Gilgamesh has two
Red Locks and naturally halves physical and magic
damage, he only needs HP +30%, since Resist Physical
+36% and Resist Magic +36%'s benefits are reduced. On
the other hand, it is very practical to remove one of
Gilgamesh's more situational passive abilities, like
Feral Speed II, to make room for Resist Physical

Resist Magic +36% (7)---: See above.
Auto-Bravery (7) -------: For random battles where you start with Gilgamesh.
However, it is generally inefficient against bosses,
since you should not generally lead with a COM. If
you only use Gilgamesh for general use, consider
using Auto-Bravery over Feral Speed II.
Auto-Faith (7)----------: For random battles when you start with Gilgamesh.
However, it is generally inefficient against bosses,
since you should not generally lead with a COM. If
you only use Gilgamesh for general use, consider

Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares

and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to

your monster choices, consider using Pack Mentality
in place of Feral Speed II.

Monster------: Lightning
Monster Role-: Commando
Constellation: Fantasy, Champion
The Build:
01) Uncapped Damage (RL)
02) Immovable MAX (RL)
03) Enhanced Commando (RL)
04) HP +30% (8)
05) Strength +35% (7)
06) Role Resonance (7)
07) Feral Speed II (6)
08) Siphon Boost II (6)
09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Power.
Crystarium Expansions---: None.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Lightning Powerchain. Then teach her Jeopardize
by infusing 99 levels worth of RAV monsters into her.
Purpose of this Monster-: Thanks to her red-locked passive abilities, Lightning
is indisputably the best COM in the game, a title
befitting Etro's chosen servant. Lightning's Armor
Breaker and Mind Piercer abilities let her hit
opponents hard in any circumstance, and her high
Strength and assortment of passive abilities allow
her to capitalize on Uncapped Damage, which ensures
that she can exceed the 99,999 limit. The physical
attacks Scourge and Smite, used against an opponent
with a high Chain Gauge, utilize Uncapped Damage to
full effect. Although her ground-based physical
attack speed is nothing special, Lightning's aerial
physical attack speed is second to none. However,
when facing agile, aerial opponents, Lightning may
alternate between ground and aerial attacks,
hampering her overall DPS. Thanks to her Feral Link,
Legion of One, which has a long animation sequence,
Lightning can inflict major damage, halt her
staggered opponent's Chain Gauge, and, depending on
timing, allows Serah and Noel to sneak in additional
attacks. On the other hand, if Serah's Ultimate Arrow
or Noel's Meteor Javelin is used right before an
opponent's post-Stagger Chain Gauge runs out,
Lightning may be able to sneak in a second Uncapped
Damage Scourge. Unfortunately, Lightning does not
learn any Feeder or Chaser abilities, giving other
COMs a slight edge, although they cannot break the
damage limit. Still, given her availability and
advantageous abilities, Lightning can, based on the
situation and strategies you utilize, decimate any
opponent in the game.
Alternatives:
Magic +35% (7)----------: Given her naturally high Magic, Lightning can become
the most powerful Magic-based COM in the game, with a
fast, consistent casting speed. Nevertheless,
Lightning cannot use Scourge or Smite when using
Magic, severely limiting her ability to use Uncapped
Damage to its full potential.
Resist Physical +36% (7): While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. However, because Lightning has
three Red Locks, she only has room for HP +30%. On
the other hand, it is very practical to remove one of
Lightning's more situational passive abilities, like
Feral Speed II, to make room for Resist Physical
+36%. To completely maximize her defenses, remove
both Feral Speed II and Chain Bonus Boost II so
Lightning has room for HP +30%, Resist Physical +36%,
and Resist Magic +36%. Keep in mind that adding both
reduces Lightning's offensive passive ability
options, limiting her ability to use Uncapped Damage
to its full potential.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: See above.
Ally KO: Power Surge II-: This passive ability increases Lightning's Strength
by 130% when an ally is KO'd, bringing out the
potential of her Uncapped Damage. However, this
ability stops working the moment Serah or Noel is
revived. Still, with well-timed execution, you can
defeat some of the strongest opponents in the game
as fast as possible by using this. Consider replacing
Feral Speed II or Chain Bonus Boost II if you want to
add Ally KO: Power Surge II.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Lightning's damage and do not mind limiting
your monster choices, consider using Pack Mentality
in place of Feral Speed II or Chain Bonus Boost II.

Monster------: Lightning
Monster Role-: Ravager
Constellation: Fantasy, Champion
The Build:
01) Attack: ATB Charge II (RL)
02) HP +30% (YL)
03) Resist Physical +36% (YL)
04) Resist Magic +36% (YL)

07) Feral Speed II (YL)
08) Siphon Boost II (YL)
09) Chain Bonus Boost II (YL)
10) Strength +35% (7) or Magic +35% (7)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Potent. All-Power or All-Mana are viable as well,
as they can help specialize her in either Strength or
Magic. However, doing so comes at the cost of 770 HP
and either 99 Strength or Magic.
Crystarium Expansions---: None.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Lightning the full gamut of RAV spells - this
includes Fira, Blizzara, Thundara, Aerora, Firaga,
Blizzaga, and Aeroga. Then teach her Vigor by
infusing 99 levels worth of COM monsters into her.
Purpose of this Monster-: Compared to Blue Chocobo and Cloudburst, Lightning
suffers in Strength and Magic, but makes up for it in
versatility. She has a fast attack speed, a fast
casting speed, access to the full range of elemental
-strikes and Blitzes, and the ability to inherit the
full range of RAV spells. She can perform any RAV
attack against any opponent under any circumstance,
making her the most reliable and diverse RAV in the
game. Against unreachable opponents, her blade
reverts to gun form and fires off -strike abilities
at an unbelievable speed. By yellow-locking all but
Strength +35% or Magic +35%, Lightning can alternate
between the two, maintaining her versatility, while,
at the same time, boosting her defenses. Also, keep
in mind that Role Resonance only works in a
Tri-Disaster Paradigm, although the 20% boosts to
Strength and Magic are significant under those
circumstances.
Alternatives:
Stagger Maintenance II--: If Lightning is the one to stagger an opponent,
Stagger Maintenance II ensures that it stays
staggered for 30% longer. This passive ability is
also synergetic with Quick Stagger. However, it is
often possible to reach the maximum Stagger duration
of 45 seconds without this passive ability at all,
and, as a result, Stagger Maintenance II serves more
as "duration insurance" instead. This can be
especially handy for unrelenting opponents like
Gilgamesh and Valfodr.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Lightning's damage and do not mind limiting
your monster choices, consider using Pack Mentality
in place of Feral Speed II.

You can skip either Step 04 or Step 06 depending on how you want to specialize
Lightning.
After Infusion, you can easily switch between Strength +35% and Magic +35% by
removing the Yellow Lock with a low-ranked Strength + XX% or Magic +XX% passive
ability and infusing another Lv. 22/24 Tonberry.

Monster------: Valfodr
Monster Role-: Ravager
Constellation: Fantasy, Champion
The Build:
01) Weak Spot (RL)
02) HP +30% (8)
03) Magic +35% (7)
04) Resist Physical +36% (7)

07) Feral Speed II (6)
08) Siphon Boost II (6)
09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: Mana for levels 2-80, 82, 84, 86, 88, and 91-99.
Potent for levels 81, 83, 85, 87, 89, and 90.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB, +1 Bonus Boost.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Valfodr the full gamut of RAV spells - this
includes Blizzara, Aerora, Blizzaga, and Aeroga. Then
teach him Vigor by infusing 99 levels worth of COM
monsters into him.
Purpose of this Monster-: As expected of the Arbiter of Time, Valfodr is the
most powerful RAV, with 6 ATB, 1 RAV Bonus Boost,
respectable HP with a Mana-focused build, and the
highest Magic in the entire game. Against opponents
susceptible to Imperil and elemental attacks,
Valfodr's Weak Spot and Fel- abilities give him the
ability to inflict damage comparable to COMs. His
casting speed surpasses Blue Chocobo's and is more
consistent than Cloudburst's. However, like many
monsters, Valfodr must oftentimes reposition himself,
and its damage will suffer against Magic-resistant
opponents. Also, keep in mind that Role Resonance
only works in a Tri-Disaster Paradigm, although the
20% boosts to his Strength and Magic are significant
under those circumstances.
Alternatives:
Strength +35% (7)-------: Similar to Lightning's behavior against unreachable
opponents, Valfodr will execute a blindingly-fast
stream of gunfire when using -strike abilities.
However, Valfodr only learns Fire and Thunder-based
physical attacks, which are not compatible with his
Fel- abilities and cannot be used consistently,
severely limiting his damage potential.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. However, because Valfodr has one
Red Lock and naturally halves physical and magic
damage, he only needs HP +30%, since Resist Physical
+36% and Resist Magic +36%'s benefits are reduced. On
the other hand, it is very practical to remove one of
Valfodr's more situational passive abilities, like
Feral Speed II, to make room for Resist Magic +36%
and completely maximize his defenses.
Stagger Maintenance II--: If Valfodr is the one to stagger an opponent, Stagger
Maintenance II ensures that it stays staggered for
30% longer. This passive ability is also synergetic
with Quick Stagger. However, it is often possible to
reach the maximum Stagger duration of 45 seconds
without this passive ability at all, and, as a
result, Stagger Maintenance II serves more as
"duration insurance" instead. This can be especially
handy for unrelenting opponents like Gilgamesh and
Valfodr.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Valfodr's damage at the small cost of some
defenses and do not mind limiting your monster
choices, consider using Pack Mentality.

05) Resist Physical +36% (7)
06) Resist Magic +36% (7)
07) Role Resonance (7)
08) Feral Speed II (6)
09) Improved Guard II (6)
10) Improved Counter II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Power. All-Vitality is also viable, especially
if you prefer not to use offensive SENs.
Crystarium Expansions---: None.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Snow Steelguard. Then teach him Reprieve by
infusing 99 levels worth of MEDs into him.
Special Notes-----------: Only raise him to Lv. 12 to avoid learning Critical:
Tetradefense, at the cost of 298 HP, 11 Strength, and
11 Magic. Should you choose to favor stat growth
instead, Critical: Tetradefense can still prove to be
useful under certain circumstances.
Purpose of this Monster-: While an All-Vitality build provides Snow with the
highest HP in the entire game, it is largely
unnecessary. By foregoing excess health in exchange
for a boost to his naturally high Strength growth,
Snow can become the greatest offensive SEN available.
In random battles, Snow will use counterattacks
enhanced by Improved Counter II. In boss and Coliseum
battles, Snow's Guard and Ward abilities, further
augmented by Improved Guard II and Improved Ward II,
ensure that he is capable of protecting Serah, Noel,
and himself. Through proper utilization of the
Tortoise Paradigm, Snow can tank a powerful attack
and follow up with his Role Resonance-boosted Feral
Link, Sovereign Fist, a strong, physical attack that
hits Snow's target twice and any surrounding
opponents unlucky enough to be in range, making it
useful for disrupting coordinated group assaults.
Although he lacks the natural resistances that make
Pulse Gladiator the best defensive SEN, his HP pool
more than compensates for it.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Snow lacks an elemental weakness, this
extra defensive ability may keep him safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Critical: Tetradefense(8: Because Snow naturally learns this passive ability,
some might consider it a normal choice to leave it
on. However, Snow's high HP makes it unlikely that
he will ever reach critical condition. With the right
strategy, though, Critical: Tetradefense can be used
to grant long-lasting defensive buffs to the whole
Paradigm Pack.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Snow's damage at the small cost of some
defenses and do not mind limiting your monster
choices, consider using Pack Mentality over Feral
Speed II, Improved Guard II, or Improved Counter II.

04) HP +30% (8)
05) Strength +35% (7)

07) Feral Speed II (6)
08) Siphon Boost II (6)
09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana to capitalize on the Wound damage from her
stun-locking process, as well as to strengthen her
Magic-based Feral Link, Sadistic Surge. All-Potent
is viable as well.
Crystarium Expansions---: None.
Additional Abilities----: Due to her unique role as a stun locker, Nabaat
grows weaker and less effective the more spells you
try to teach her. Just teach her Jinx by infusing
99 levels worth of SYN monsters into her.
Special Notes-----------: Nabaat's Feral Link, Sadistic Surge, deserves
particular attention. While it is powerful in and
of itself and good at keeping her opponent
stun-locked, it bestows additional bonuses to Nabaat
depending on the Role composition of your Paradigm
Pack. Based on the Roles of your other monsters,
Sadistic Surge grants the following effects:
1 SYN--: Bravery
2 SYNs-: Bravery and Faith
1 SEN--: Protect
2 SENs-: Protect and Shell
COMs---: Damage Boost
RAVs---: Chain Boost
MEDs---: Heals Nabaat, Small Damage Boost
SABs---: Increased Wound Damage
Purpose of this Monster-: At first glance, Nabaat looks like an average SAB.
She has the single- and multi-target Strength-based
versions of Curse, Pain, and Fog and the single- and
multi-target Magic-based versions of Wound, Poison,
and Imperil. She innately halves Magic damage, and
her slow casting speed seems to reduce her overall
effectiveness. Looking closer, though, she has a
unique purpose that no other SAB can replicate - by
sticking Curse on her opponent and then steadily
attacking it, Nabaat can catch a single target in
a stun-lock using her Pressure II passive ability.
Her opponent will flinch in response to each of her
attacks. Her slow casting speed provides a steady
attack stream that hits the target directly after it
recovers from her last attack, keeping it
stun-locked in perfect time. This strategy can be
used on stubborn targets susceptible to Curse. Her
downside is that Nabaat will attempt to inflict most
(if not all) of the debuffs she knows on a given
target before moving on to Wound, which has the best
Cut (hitstun value) of them all. Note that while the
physical SAB abilities have high Cut values as well,
she will stop using them after their debuffs have
stuck, making it a bad idea to rely on them for
every situation. Unfortunately, Nabaat's
stun-locking ability does not contribute to any
efficient strategies and is only distictive against
opponents pre-Stagger. It is also ineffective
against many bosses and Coliseum opponents that
would be severely crippled if they could be affected.
Alternatives:
Auto-Haste (9)----------: If you are certain that you will begin battles with
Nabaat, this passive ability can be useful, as Haste
cannot be cast by SYNs. Because of Haste's beneficial
nature, which can be transfered to the rest of the
Paradigm Pack, consider using this passive ability.
Resist Physical +36% (7): While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. However, because Nabaat has three
Red Locks and naturally halves magic damage, she only
has room for HP +30%, which provides more defense
than Resist Physical +36% alone.
Role Resonance (7)------: If you use the Infiltration Paradigm, consider this
passive ability, as it provides a 20% boost to
Nabaat's Strength and Magic.
Auto-Faith (7)----------: If you are certain that you will begin battles with </pre><pre id="faqspan-12">
Nabaat, this passive ability can be useful, as it
increases Nabaat's Magic damage. Because of Faith's
Magic boost, which can be transfered to the rest of
the Paradigm Pack, try using this passive ability.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Nabaat's damage and do not mind limiting
your monster choices, consider using Pack Mentality
over Feral Speed II.

Monster------: Sazh
Monster Role-: Synergist
Constellation: Fantasy, Champion
The Build:
01) Augment Maintenance II (RL)
02) Item Collector (RL)
03) Feral Speed II (RL)
04) Auto-Haste (9)
05) Auto-Tetradefense (9)
06) HP +30% (8)
07) Magic +35% (7)
08) Resist Physical +36% (7)
09) Auto-Bravery (7)
10) Auto-Faith (7)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana. All-Potent is viable as well. For
middle-ground builds, consult this link:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/619315-final-fantasy-x
iii-2/62104623
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Sazh Faithga, Protectga, Shellga, Vigilaga, and
Veilga. Then teach him Boon by infusing 99 levels
worth of SAB monsters into him.
Special Notes-----------: Only raise him to Lv. 41 to avoid learning Critical:
Haste. Sazh's red-locked Feral Speed can be upgraded
to Feral Speed II through infusion. In addition, a
Lv. 16 Sazh only possesses augmentation spells, at
the cost of 3281 HP and 459 Magic.
Purpose of this Monster-: Because of his natural spell selection, Sazh cannot
serve as an augment-focused SYN without severely
crippling his HP and Magic. However, by infusing
him with all SYN spell variations, Sazh can become
a competent all-around SYN, due to his fast casting
speed and 6 ATB. He can strengthen the entire party
by himself or split his duty with Serah and Noel for
slightly faster buffing. While it is impossible to
force Sazh into prioritizing particular buffs, you
can switch him out for another monster so that the
rest of the Paradigm Pack benefits from his Auto:
Buffs. Sazh's Feral Link, Cold Blood, works exactly
like RAV Lightning's Army of One by driving up an
opponent's post-Stagger Chain Gauge. Note that Cold
Blood is based off of Sazh's Strength, so the
damage it inflicts is negligible.
Alternatives:
HP +30% (8)-------------: This passive ability, when combined with Resist
Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36%, ensures that
Sazh will have the best longevity possible. Because
of all of his red-locked passive abilities, though,
Sazh does not have room for it. If you wish to build
the most durable Sazh possible, consider replacing
Auto-Bravery for this.
First Strike (6)--------: A passive ability that makes sure Sazh has full ATB
to begin buffing as soon as a battle begins. However,
because he has three red-locked passive abilities,
Sazh does not have room for this.
Defense Maintenance (5)-: This passive ability extends the duration of Protect,
Protectga, Shell, Shellga, Veil, Veilga, and
Vigilaga. Since defensive buffs last longer than
augments, though, the extended duration may not be
necessary for most battles.

[DLBLD11]
Monster------: Ultros
Monster Role-: Synergist
Constellation: Fantasy, Champion
The Build:
01) Feral Surge (RL)
02) Defense Maintenance II (RL)
03) Auto-Haste (9)
04) Auto-Tetradefense (9)
05) Magic +35% (7)
06) Resist Physical +36% (7)
07) Resist Magic +36% (7)
08) Auto-Bravery (7)
09) Auto-Faith (7)
10) Feral Speed II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana.
Crystarium Expansions---: None.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Ultros Protectga and Shellga. Then teach him
Boon by infusing 99 levels worth of SAB monsters into
him. After that, you can carefully mold him by
choosing select abilities, such as only Bravega and
Faithga. His limited moveset can be used to your
advantage, since, besides Protect and Shell, you can
specialize him in any way that you want.
Special Notes-----------: Only raise him to Lv. 11 to avoid learning Random:
Nullify Ice, at the cost of 159 HP and 13 Magic.
Purpose of this Monster-: Ultros tends to get written off due to his poor spell
selection. Players just want to see Bravery and
Faith, and the presence of any defense-oriented buffs
leads to automatic dismissal. He is also a relatively
slow caster and sometimes suffers from repositioning
issues, lowering his speed further. He has some good
qualities, however. First, his Feral Link, Octopus
Ink, causes Magic-based damage and attempts to apply
Curse, Pain, and Slow - an uncastable status ailment
- on a group of foes. Tied into this is the fact that
he has has Feral Surge but not Feral Fatigue. This
means that the moment his Feral Link Gauge becomes
full, he is bestowed with Bravery, Faith, Vigilance,
Veil, Protect, Shell, and Haste. His natural moveset
can be seen in a couple of positive ways as well. The
first way is to load him with all of the
defense-oriented buffs to have a defensive caster, as
he is the only monster to have Defense Maintenance
II, which increases defensive buff duration. A more
likely, and more effective, way to approach Ultros
would be to think of him as a blank slate. He only
knows two spells, both single-target. You can teach
him Protectga and Shellga so that he casts them as
soon as possible. After that, you can choose exactly
what you want him to cast by teaching him an
intentionally limited selection of desired spells.
You can guarantee Bravega and Faithga if those are
the only other spells you teach him. Alternatively,
you can guarantee that he casts the longer-lasting
single-target versions if you teach him only those
and not the multi-target versions. Ultros is as close
as you can get to a blank slate SYN that still has
decent stats.
Alternatives:
HP +30% (8)-------------: Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% for maintaining
Adrenaline and Vigor on COMs and RAVs. For maximum
defense, consider replacing Auto-Bravery of First
Strike for this.
Auto-Vigilance (8)------: If you plan to use Ultros solely for passing on
Auto-Buffs to the rest of the Paradigm Pack, you
could replace Auto-Tetradefense with Auto-Vigilance,
Auto-Protect, and Auto-Shell in order to extend their
durations for 30 seconds more. If you decide to do
this, consider replacing Resist Physical +36% and
Resist Magic +36% with Auto-Protect and Auto-Shell.
Remember, while it is much easier to use these
replacements instead of capturing Tezcatlipoca for
Auto-Tetradefense, they are not necessarily the most
optimal options.
Auto-Protect (7)--------: See above.
Auto-Shell (7)----------: See above.
Defense Maintenance (5)-: This passive ability extends the duration of Protect,
Protectga, Shell, Shellga, Veil, Veilga, and
Vigilaga. Since defensive buffs last longer than
augments, though, the extended duration may not be
necessary for most battles.

[DLBLD12]
Monster------: PuPu
Monster Role-: Medic
Constellation: Fantasy, Champion
The Build:
01) Improved Cure II (RL)
02) Pack Mentality (RL)
03) Critical: Haste (8)
04) Critical: Tetradefense (8)
05) HP +30% (8)
06) Role Resonance (7)
07) Magic +35% (7)
08) Feral Speed II (6)
09) Critical: Bravery (5)
10) Critical: Faith (5)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana.
Crystarium Expansions---: None.
Additional Abilities----: Teach PuPu Curaja by infusing 99 levels worth of SEN
monsters into it.
Purpose of this Monster-: PuPu's defining feature is its unique Feral Link,
Items Please!, which inflicts Magic damage, increases
the odds of obtaining items after battle, and has a
maximum Synch Rate of 999%. Get the opponent's health
low enough, switch to the Salvation Paradigm, and use
Items Please! for maximum effectiveness. If you fail
to defeat your target, wait while PuPu uses Cheer to
fill its Feral Link Gauge. By making a Paradigm Pack
consisting of Fantasy or Champion monsters, PuPu can
utilize its Pack Mentality and gain an additional 30%
boost to its Magic. As a MED, PuPu functions just as
well as any of the Top-Tier MEDs. It can be built
like Green Chocobo or White Chocobo, depending on
your needs and personal play style.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although PuPu lacks an elemental weakness, this
defensive passive ability may keep it safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Resist Physical +36% (7): While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. However, because PuPu has two Red
Locks, it only has room for HP +30%. Keep in mind
that adding either Resist Physical +36% or Resist
Magic +36% reduces PuPu's chances to reach critical
condition.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: See above.
Ally KO: Power Surge II-: This passive ability increases PuPu's healing
capabilities while an ally is KO'd. However, it stops
working the moment that the fallen ally is revived.
Improved Raise II (6)---: This passive ability doubles the effect of Raise.
However, PuPu will cure the dying before it revives
the KO'd, although this is not relevant if you have
one KO'd character and the other two are in good
health. In that time, you can use a Phoenix Down or
Phoenix Blood, which revives an ally, removes Wound
damage, and adds beneficial buffs like Protect &
Shell or Haste. If you dislike items for any reason,
Improved Raise II should prove useful. In addition,
there is a chance that PuPu will respond to a fallen
ally with a quick Raise (assuming there is no other
damage to heal), and, in that instance, you would
benefit from this.
Critical: Power Surge II: This passive ability boosts PuPu's Cure potency for
as long as it remains in critical condition.
Assuming that it is healing itself, though, it will
only take PuPu one or two spells to recover, reducing
its effectiveness.
Critical: Shield II (6)-: This passive ability reduces incoming damage by 30%
for as long as PuPu remains in critical condition,
potentially saving it from dying. However, unlike
other Critical: Buff passive abilities, the defensive
bonus disappears the moment PuPu recovers from
critical condition, limiting its overall usefulness.

While the monsters in the following section are not considered to be the best
in their respective Roles, they all possess a combination of high stats,
natural resistances, useful Feral Links, and little quirks that helps them
perform well in the post-game and sets them apart from their competition.
This section will still follow the pattern set by Section 12 - Top-Tier Builds
[TTBuild] and Section 13 - DLC Builds [DLCBild] by prioritizing boss-killing
builds. Random encounter-killing alternativies will also be explored. In
addition, the advantages and disadvantages of each monster are examined in more
detail than in the prior two sections.
Note that some monsters have passive abilities that deviate from what is
normally suggested in order to highlight a specific function.
..............................................................................
[NMBLD01]
Monster------: Apkallu
Monster Role-: Commando
Constellation: Sahagin
The Build:
01) Resist Elements +30% (9)
02) HP +30% (8)
03) Strength +35% (7)
04) Resist Physical +36% (7)
05) Resist Magic +36% (7)
06) Role Resonance (7)
07) Feral Speed II (6)
08) Siphon Boost II (6)
09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Power.
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Apkallu Adrenaline, Blindside, Faultsiphon, and
Lifesiphon. Then teach it Jeopardize by infusing 99
levels worth of RAV monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: Apkallu is, bar none, the best user of Area Sweep in
the entire game, as well as the best COM for raising
an opponent's Chain Gauge. It naturally halves Ice
and Wind damage and has enough room to fit all
relevant defensive passive abilities. Its unique
Area Sweep animation, coupled with its large size and
the third highest Strength of all COMs, allows it to
easily destroy random opponents. It also finds a
niche against PuPu, as two Bravery-enhanced Area
Sweeps are capable of wiping out a horde of PuPu.
In addition, Apkallu's Attack animation consists of
two pecks per Attack, with each peck rivaling the
speed of one of Chichu's Attack commands. Due to the
nature of its Attack, Apkallu is able to completely
restore its ATB through Siphon Boost II and
Attack: ATB Charge II, which results in non-stop
attacking. Against a properly debuffed target with a
high Chain Gauge, the combined total of Apkallu's two
hits per Attack lets it to exceed the damage limit.
Its Feral Link, Abyssal Breath, can inflict Deprotect
and Deshell, potentially saving valuable time against
bosses and Coliseum opponents. It also has a Synch
Rate of 300%, so Apkallu is suitable for capturing
monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: Despite its high Strength, Apkallu cannot use it
against launched and flying opponents, forcing it to
cast Ruin and Ruinga with its abysmal Magic, albeit
at a respectable 75 casting speed. It is also weak to
Fire and Lightning attacks, making it a poor choice
against the likes of Omega, Amodar, Lightning, Typhon
PuPu, and Valfodr. Apkallu lacks any beneficial
Chaser and Feeder abilities that make other COMs so
useful. While it does learn Slow Chaser, Slow is a
rare status ailment that can only be inflicted by
another monster's Feral Link. Apkallu's own Feral
Link is unfortunately Magic-based and inflicts common
status ailments that Serah and Noel can also use.
Alternatives:
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Bravery (7)--------: For random battles when you start with Apkallu. Given
Apkallu's Area Sweep, Auto-Bravery will allow you to
breeze through random encounters, as well as PuPu's
Coliseum battle. However, it is generally inefficient
against bosses, since you should not generally lead
with a COM. If you only use Apkallu for general use,
consider using Auto-Bravery over Resist Elements +30%
or Feral Speed II.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Apkallu's damage and do not mind limiting
your monster choices, consider using Pack Mentality
in place of Resist Elements +30% or Feral Speed II.

10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: Power for levels 2-10, 30, and 41-99. Potent for
levels 11-29 and 31-40.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB, +1 Bonus Boost.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Chocobo Faultsiphon and Scourge. Then teach it
Jeopardize by infusing 99 levels worth of RAV
monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: A powerful, high-leveled COM, Chocobo is guaranteed
to join Serah and Noel on their first visit to the
Archylte Steppe. It naturally halves Wind damage and
has enough room to fit all relevant defensive passive
abilities. With high Strength, 6 ATB, and COM Bonus
Boost at its disposal, Chocobo can become a valuable
ally, as it also boasts Imperil Chaser, which raises
Chocobo's Strength even further against opponents
inflicted with Imperil, a useful status ailment that
affects both bosses and Coliseum opponents alike.
Chocobo's Feral Link, Kweh, utilizes its Strength to
unleash a barrage of pecks on its target. It also has
a maximum Synch Rate of 350%, so Chocobo is suitable
for capturing monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: Aside from Imperil Chaser, Chocobo does not possess
any other beneficial abilities that help to
differentiate itself from the Top-Tier COMs. It is
also weak to Ice attacks, making it a poor choice
against Ultros. Like other Strength-based Chocobos,
Chocobo suffers from a slow attack speed against
moving opponents, as it must oftentimes reorient
itself between Attacks.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Because Chocobo is weak to Ice attacks, this passive
ability may keep it safe from powerful Ice attacks,
such as Ultros' Frost Breath. If you find yourself
frequently thwarted by elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Bravery (7)--------: For random battles when you start with Chocobo.
However, it is generally inefficient against bosses,
since you should not generally lead with a COM. If
you only use Chocobo for general use, consider using
Auto-Bravery over Feral Speed II.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to

your monster choices, consider using Pack Mentality
in place of Feral Speed II.

Faultsiphon, Lifesiphon, Powerchain, Ruinga, and
Scourge. Then teach it Jeopardize by infusing 99
levels worth of RAV monsters into it.
Special Notes-----------: Only level it to Lv. 29 to avoid learning Bonus CP.
Since its Strength and Magic are nearly equivalent,
Don Tonberry can function as a decent Magic-based
COM with a respectable 75 casting speed. However,
Don Tonberry cannot use Drain Attack or any of its
Chaser abilities when using Ruin or Ruinga, which
makes a Magic-based variant more fragile and
potentially weaker than a Strength-based one.
Advantages--------------: One of two monsters with the red-locked Perpetual
Poison passive ability, Don Tonberry possesses a
combination of innate defenses, unique abilities, and
powerful offenses that give it the survivability and
power to make excellent use of Critical: Buff passive
abilities. While its HP may be lower than most COMs
without HP +30%, Don Tonberry naturally resists all
status ailments and halves physical and magic damage,
making defensive passive abilities superfluous and
contradictory to the build, as they would reduce the
time it takes for Don Tonberry to reach critical
condition. As soon as said state is attained, Don
Tonberry can be blessed with a myriad of buffs that
further boosts its high Strength and bestows Protect,
Shell, Vigilance, and Veil for added protection. This
allows Don Tonberry to serve in a SYN-like fashion,
because it can share its buffs with the rest of the
Paradigm Pack. Its Chaser abilities enhance its
Strength even further against targets inflicted with
Deprotect, Deshell, Imperil, and Poison, common
status ailments that Serah and Noel can apply and
that even affect bosses and Coliseum opponents. Drain
Attack uses Don Tonberry's Strength and helps it
sustain itself in battle. Quick to attack, Don
Tonberry will chase down its opponent, relentlessly
following and stabbing its target until it is
defeated. Aside from multitasking as a COM and SYN,
its Feral Link, Hateful Gouge, lets Don Tonberry
serve as a substitute SAB, since it capitalizes on
its Strength and inflicts Deprotect, Imperil, Curse,
and Slow. It also has a maximum Synch Rate of 300%,
so Don Tonberry is suitable for capturing monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: Unfortunately, Don Tonberry only receives one
Crystarium Expansion, which hinders the amount of
damage it can inflict compared to the Top-Tier COMs.
While Don Tonberry is versatile, Chichu and Cactuar
make for better Strength-based COMs and Red Chocobo
(Magic) makes for a better Magic-based COM, and its
situational passive abilities and Feral Link do not
make up for the lack of a dedicated SYN or SAB.
Alternatives:
HP +30% (8)-------------: This passive ability provides Don Tonberry with more
durability. Using HP +30%, though, makes it harder
for Don Tonberry to reach critical condition. If you
feel that Don Tonberry's maximum HP is too low,
consider exchanging Chain Bonus Boost II for this.
Magic +35% (7)----------: If you choose to build a Magic-based Don Tonberry,
replace Strength +35% for this.
Critical: Shield II (6)-: This passive ability reduces incoming damage by 30%
for as long as Don Tonberry remains in critical
condition. Unlike other Critical: Buff passive
abilities, you do not need to reach critical
condition with Don Tonberry on the field - you can
switch out a monster in critical condition for Don
Tonberry and still benefit from the same ability.
However, Critical: Tetradefense and its natural
defenses should provide Don Tonberry with as much
longevity as it needs.
Critical: Faith (5)-----: If you choose to build a Magic-based Don Tonberry,
replace Critical: Bravery for this.

Monster------: Golden Chocobo
Monster Role-: Commando
Constellation: Chocobo
The Build:

03) Strength +35% (7)
04) Resist Physical +36% (7)
05) Resist Magic +36% (7)
06) Role Resonance (7)
07) Feral Speed II (6)
08) Siphon Boost II (6)
09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Power.
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Golden Chocobo Adrenaline, Faultsiphon, and
Powerchain. Then teach it Jeopardize by infusing 99
levels worth of RAV monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: Most easily acquired via Moogle Hunt in A Dying World
700 AF, Golden Chocobo is more cost efficient to
develop than its COM Chocobo brethren. With 5 ATB and
respectable HP and Strength, Golden Chocobo is an
excellent COM. It possesses the rare Armor Breaker
ability, boosting its Strength by 30% against
opponents that resist or halve physical damage.
Golden Chocobo can use Stagger: Drain against
staggered opponents, which helps it maintain its HP,
letting Golden Chocobo receive the full benefits from
Adrenaline. While Golden Chocobo shares its Feral
Link, Kweh, with Chocobo, Red Chocobo, and White
Chocobo, its distinctive sequence of input commands
allows Golden Chocobo to reach a maximum Synch Rate
of 500%, so it is suitable for capturing monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: Compared to the other COM Chocobos, Golden Chocobo
lacks 6 ATB and COM Bonus Boost, making it
statistically inferior. Even though Stagger: Drain
has its uses, it overrides Armor Breaker, which is
considered superior in most circumstances. Like other
Strength-based Chocobos, Golden Chocobo suffers from
a slow attack speed against moving opponents, as it
must oftentimes reorient itself between Attacks.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Golden Chocobo lacks an elemental weakness,
this extra defensive passive ability may keep it safe
from powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Bravery (7)--------: For random battles when you start with Golden
Chocobo. However, it is generally inefficient against
bosses, since you should not generally lead with a
COM. If you only use Golden Chocobo for general use,
consider using Auto-Bravery over Feral Speed II.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Golden Chocobo's damage and do not mind
limiting your monster choices, consider using Pack
Mentality in place of Feral Speed II.

Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana.
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Metallicactuar Adrenaline, Blindside,
Faultsiphon, and Lifesiphon. Then teach it Jeopardize
by infusing 99 levels worth of RAV monsters into it.
Special Notes-----------: Metallicactuar is the only source of Auto-Faith for
infusion purposes.
Advantages--------------: With its high Magic and Mind Piercer, which provides
an additional 30% damage boost when its opponent
either resists or halves Magic, Metallicactuar is the
second best consistent Magic-based COM in the game
outside of DLC content. It has an innate resistance
to all status ailments and has enough room to fit all
relevant defensive passive abilities. Since it has no
red-locked passive abilities, Metallicactuar can
incorporate Gilfinder II into its repertoire if
desired, making it an excellent COM for farming gil
from Raspatil. Metallicactuar does not have to move
in order to attack, since Ruin and Ruinga spells
track their targets, possibly protecting it from
dangerous area-of-effect attacks aimed at Serah or
Noel. Should Metallicactuar's Strength exceed its
Magic through buffs and debuffs, it can use Deshell
Chaser and Shell Feeder to raise its defenses and
deal more damage. Metallicactuar's Feral Link,
Hit-and-Run, has a maximum Synch Rate of 777%, so it
is suitable for capturing monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: Metallicactuar only receives two Crystarium
Expansions, limiting the amount of damage it can
inflict. A Magic-based Red Chocobo is superior to
Metallicactuar in every situation that Mind Piercer
is not active, as it has 6 ATB, COM Bonus Boost, and
a faster casting speed. Metallicactuar is also weak
to Fire attacks, making it a poor choice against the
likes of Omega, Amodar, Typhon, and PuPu. Because
it is Magic-based, Metallicactuar cannot use Deshell
Chaser, Shell Feeder, Bloodthirsty, and Scourge very
often. Hit-and-Run is unfortunately Strength-based,
so it should not be used to solely inflict damage.
Alternatives:
Auto-Faith (7)----------: For random battles when you start with</pre><pre id="faqspan-13">
Metallicactuar. However, it is generally inefficient
against bosses, since you should not generally lead
with a COM. If you only use Metallicactuar for
general use, consider using Auto-Faith over Feral
Speed II.
Gilfinder II (6)--------: If you are in dire need of gil, use this passive
ability to farm it from Raspatil. It also stacks with
any Durable Collector's Catalogs that Serah and Noel
have equipped. However, if you are not strapped for
gil, choose a more useful passive ability.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Metallicactuar's damage and do not mind
limiting your monster choices, consider using Pack
Mentality in place of Feral Speed II.

20-30, 32, 34, 36, 38, and 40. Potent for levels 2,
5, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 31, 33, 35, 37, and 39.
Crystarium Expansion----: +1 ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Proto-behemoth Adrenaline, Faultsiphon,
Lifesiphon, Powerchain, and Ruinga. Then teach it
Jeopardize by infusing 99 levels worth of RAV
monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: Found in Academia 500 AF, Proto-behemoth can be
maximized for Strength immediately upon capture,
requiring only Grades 3 and 4 Mechanical Materials,
which can be bought from Chocolina. Because of its
respectable Strength, low maximum level, and
guaranteed encounter, Proto-behemoth makes an
excellent low-cost COM for the storyline's final
battles. The length of its sword blade lets it hit
opponents without the need to get close, and, despite
its appearance, it can attack launched opponents
without having to resort to Magic. After Chichu, it
is the second best Armor Breaker user outside of DLC
content, since other COMs with it stop using Armor
Breaker in favor of Stagger: Wound or Stagger: Drain
once an opponent has been staggered. Its Bravery
Feeder allows it to enhance its Strength even further
while stealing from, and thus weakening, its
opponent. Due to its three red-locked passive
abilities, Proto-behemoth carves a unique place for
itself, functioning in a SYN-like fashion once it
reaches critical condition. Its Feral Link, Sunder,
hits Proto-behemoth's target and any opponents
unlucky enough to be in its way. It also has a
maximum Synch Rate of 300%, so it is suitable for
capturing monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: Because it only has one Crystarium Expansion and an
average Attack speed, Proto-behemoth cannot reach the
same damage potential as the Top-Tier COMs.
Proto-behemoth does not have any notable weaknesses,
but it does not have any innate defenses, either.
While ignoring defensive passive abilities helps
Proto-behemoth reach critical condition faster, it
also puts it at greater risk of being KO'd.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Proto-behemoth lacks an elemental weakness,
this defensive passive ability may keep it safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. Infusing this would make it more difficult
for Proto-behemoth to reach critical condition
against opponents that favor elemental attacks,
though. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
HP +30% (8)-------------: This passive ability provides Proto-behemoth with
more durability. Using HP +30%, though, makes it
harder for Proto-behemoth to reach critical
condition. If you feel that Proto-behemoth's
maximum HP is too low, consider exchanging Feral
Speed II for this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Bravery (7)--------: For random battles when you start with
Proto-behemoth. However, it is generally inefficient
against bosses, since you should not generally lead
with a COM. If you only use Proto-behemoth for
general use, consider using Auto-Bravery over Feral
Speed II.

Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB, +1 Bonus Boost.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Red Chocobo (Strength) Adrenaline, Blindside,
Powerchain, and Ruinga. Then teach it Jeopardize by
infusing 99 levels worth of RAV monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: Red Chocobo (Strength) possesses the highest Strength
of all COMs and the second highest Strength of all
monsters in the entire game. It has 6 ATB, COM Bonus
Boost, naturally resists Fire damage, and has enough
room to fit all relevant defensive passive abilities.
Red Chocobo (Strength) can utilize Bravery Feeder and
Haste Feeder against many bosses and Coliseum
battles, including Lightning, Amodar, Nabaat, Typhon,
Gilgamesh, Snow, and Valfodr, stealing Bravery and
Haste in order to augment itself and the Paradigm
Pack while simultaneously weakening the opponent. It
can also use Bloodthirsty and Stagger: Wound in
tandem, which, together, boosts Red Chocobo
(Strength)'s Strength in proportion to the opponent's
Wound damage, a combination of abilities limited to
Red Chocobo, Don Tonberry, Managarmr, and Tonberry.
Its Feral Link, Kweh, coupled with its high Strength,
makes Red Chocobo (Strength) a force to be reckoned
with in any battle. It also has a maximum Synch Rate
of 400%, so Red Chocobo (Strength) is suitable for
capturing monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: Like Golden Chocobo, Red Chocobo (Strength) has a
slow attack speed against moving opponents, as it
must oftentimes reorient itself between Attacks. It
is also weak to Ice attacks, making it a poor choice
against Ultros. Unfortunately, Red Chocobo (Strength)
lacks Armor Breaker, Mind Piercer, and the Chaser
abilities that the Top-Tier COMs enjoy, which means
that it is only average in comparison.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Because Red Chocobo (Strength) is weak to Ice
attacks, this passive ability may keep it safe from
powerful Ice attacks, such as Ultros' Frost Breath.
If you find yourself frequently thwarted by elemental
attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in

Feral Speed II.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Red Chocobo (Strength)'s damage and do not
mind limiting your monster choices, consider using
Pack Mentality in place of Feral Speed II.

since Ruin and Ruinga spells track their targets,
possibly protecting it from dangerous area-of-effect
attacks aimed at Serah or Noel. This also makes it a
faster attacker than Red Chocobo (Strength), as Red
Chocobo (Strength) must take the time to approach its
target and reorient itself if it's target moves away.
Red Chocobo (Magic) can cast Ruinga twice in a row,
wiping out randomly-encountered groups of opponents
and, when boosted by Faith, a group of PuPu.
Disadvantages-----------: Because it specializes in Magic, Red Chocobo (Magic)
will not be able to use Bloodthirsty and Stagger:
Wound, nor can it use Bravery Feeder and Haste Feeder
as often as Red Chocobo (Strength), unless its
Strength outweighs its Magic due to Chain Gauge
percentage, buffs and debuffs. It is also weak to Ice
attacks, making it a poor choice against Ultros.
While it is generally the better Magic-based COM, Red
Chocobo loses to Metallicactuar in damage output when
Metallicactuar's Mind Piercer is active. While Red
Chocobo (Magic)'s Feral Link, Kweh, has a maximum
Synch Rate of 400%, keep in mind that it is a
Strength-based attack, so it may not always be
suitable for capturing monsters.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Because Red Chocobo (Magic) is weak to Ice attacks,
this passive ability may keep it safe from powerful
Ice attacks, such as Ultros' Frost Breath. If you
find yourself frequently thwarted by elemental
attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Faith (7)----------: For random battles when you start with Red Chocobo
(Magic). However, it is generally inefficient
against bosses, since you should not generally lead
with a COM. If you only use Red Chocobo (Magic) for
general use, consider using Auto-Faith over Feral
Speed II.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Red Chocobo (Magic)'s damage and do not mind
limiting your monster choices, consider using Pack
Mentality in place of Feral Speed II.

Monster Materials to Use: Power for levels 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and
60-99. Potent for levels 2-14, 16-19, 21-24, 26-29,
31-34, 36-39, 41-44, 46-49, and 51-59.
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 ATB, +2 Bonus Boosts.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Twilight Odin Blindside. Then teach him
Jeopardize by infusing 99 levels worth of RAV
monsters into him.
Special Notes-----------: Flourish of Steel is considered one Attack, and its
damage is divided up within its 4-hit combination.
Because of this, many players erroneously believe
that Twilight Odin's damage modifiers are somehow
glitched. However, if added together, the total
amount of damage that Twilight Odin inflicts reflects
his true Strength.
Advantages--------------: Twilight Odin is unique among all monsters in that,
because he is the only monster in the game to start
with 4 ATB and has a maximum level of 99, he benefits
from both 6 ATB and COM Bonus Boost II. He boasts
high HP and the second highest Strength of all COMs.
He also naturally halves all status ailments and has
enough room to fit all relevant defensive passive
abilities. Because he is based off of the original
Odin from Final Fantasy XIII, Twilight Odin borrows
Odin's attack animations for his Attack and Blitz
commands. Depending on his proximity to an opponent,
Twilight Odin will begin his string of Attacks with
Crushing Blow, a quick, powerful dash attack. He
will then follow through with 5 Attacks that mimic
Flourish of Steel, a 4-hit combination that, when
combined with Siphon Boost II and Attack: ATB Charge
II, allows Twilight Odin to completely restore his
ATB, which results in non-stop attacking. Due to the
size of his weapon, Twilight Odin is also good at
destroying groups of enemies with his Blitz. Twilight
Odin can boost his Strength even further with Poison
Chaser, a common status ailment that is effective in
boss battles, Coliseum challenges, and random
encounters. He can also recover his HP against
staggered opponents with Stagger: Drain to reap the
full benefits of Adrenaline. Twilight Odin's Feral
Link, Zantetsuken, is a powerful attack that hits
multiple targets and has a maximum Synch Rate of
999%, so it is suitable for capturing monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: Twilight Odin's biggest shortcoming is his slow
attack speed. One Flourish of Steel takes a long
time to execute. He is also slow to approach his
opponent and slow at reorienting himself if his
target moves away. Should you use Twilight Odin
against flying or launched opponents, be aware that
he cannot use his high Strength on them, resorting
to Ruin spells. Given his subpar Magic and overall
sluggishness, Twilight Odin pales in comparison to
the Top-Tier COMs.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Twilight Odin lacks an elemental weakness,
this defensive passive ability may keep it safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status

remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Bravery (7)--------: For random battles when you start with Twilight Odin.
However, it is generally inefficient against bosses,
since you should not generally lead with a COM. If
you only use Twilight Odin for general use, consider
using Auto-Bravery over Feral Speed II.

07) Quick Stagger (7)
08) Siphon Boost II (6)
09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana. All-Vitality is viable as well, if you
prefer greater durability at the expense of less
damage.
Crystarium Expansion----: +1 ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Buccaboo Ace Fearsiphon, Overwhelm, and the
full gamut of RAV spells - this includes Fire,
Thunder, Fira, Thundara, Aerora, Firaga, Blizzaga,
Thundaga, and Aeroga. Then teach it Vigor by infusing
99 levels worth of COM monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: Buccaboo Ace is a versatile RAV, possessing a
SYN-like Feral Link and a consistent, average casting
speed of 75. Its red-locked passive ability, Stagger
Maintenance II, compliments Buccaboo Ace's natural
RAV qualities and gives it room for all relevant
defensive passive abilities, which, combined with its
natural resistances to Ice and Wind damage and
capacity to halve Magic, makes it a sturdy ally.
Buccaboo Ace learns Ice Blitz and Aero Blitz,
providing it with ways to attack Ice and
Wind-vulnerable opponents and Magic-resistant enemies
for more damage and chaining potential than a
Blizzaga or Aeroga spell. Its Feral Link, Spirit
Infusion, offers minor healing and grants Faith,
Protect, and Shell to the entire party, meaning that,
depending on the situation, Buccaboo Ace can act as
a substitute SYN. When paired with an actual SYN,
Buccaboo Ace's Feral Link can expedite its work by
conferring defensive buffs, letting the SYN focus on
casting offensive buffs.
Disadvantages-----------: Because Buccaboo Ace only has average Magic, 4 ATB,
and lacks a RAV Bonus Boost, it cannot compete with
the Top-Tier and DLC RAVs in terms of damage output
and chaining capability. While useful, Buccaboo Ace's
version of Spirit Infusion is not as comprehensive as
Goblin Chieftain's, so other party members will have
to apply Bravery, Vigilance, and Veil. Also, its
Feral Link would likely not be of any use to a SYN
with Auto-Buff passive abilities.
Alternatives:
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Feral Speed II (6)------: Because Buccaboo Ace's Feral Link lets it act as a
substitute SYN, it would make sense to want it
available for any situation. Feral Speed II also
helps to recover the Feral Link Gauges of the rest of
your Paradigm Pack, too. However, the duration of
Spirit Infusion's buffs far surpass the time it takes
for Buccaboo Ace to recharge its Feral Link Gauge,
and any form of Hypnocrown equipped on Serah or Noel
can substitute for this passive ability or be paired
alongside it for even more Feral Link uses.

Monster------: Debris
Monster Role-: Ravager
Constellation: Bomb

10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana. All-Vitality is also viable, if you prefer
greater durability at the expense of less damage.
Crystarium Expansion----: +1 ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Debris the full gamut of RAV spells - this
includes Blizzara, Aerora, Firaga, Blizzaga,
Thundaga, and Aeroga. Then teach it Vigor by infusing
99 levels worth of COM monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: The only member of the Bomb family that can match
Cloudburst's raw Magic, Debris, like all Bombs, has a
blindingly fast casting speed of 170, surpassing the
Top-Tier and DLC RAVs. While Coudburst specializes in
Ice and Wind magic, Debris is a master of Fire and
Thunder magic, covering the opposite end of the
spectrum. If it starts a battle against an opponent
with a Thunder weakness, Debris automatically
receives an Enthunder buff, giving it an edge, and
its Felflame and Felspark abilities enhance its
damage even further, especially against opponents
afflicted with Imperil. While Cloudburst shares the
same benefits using the other two elements, Debris
has two major advantages over it. First, Debris lacks
any -strike abilities. If you stumble upon an
opponent with an Ice weakness, Cloudburst will
alternate between Blizzard spells and Froststrikes,
which, because of its low Strength and the time it
takes to alternate between the two types of attacks,
hampers its damage output. On the other hand, Debris
will continue to cast spells. Second, Debris
naturally halves physical and elemental damage,
giving it greater durability. Debris' Feral Link,
Elemental Overdrive, is a powerful Magic-based attack
that hits all opponents on the field. It also has a
maximum Synch Rate of 400%, so Debris is suitable for
capturing monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: To offset its natural resistances, Debris has low HP
and takes normal damage against Magic. It only has
4 ATB and lacks a RAV Bonus Boost, so it cannot
compete with the Top-Tier and DLC RAVs in terms of
damage output and chaining capability. Unfortunately,
while it shares these same disadvantages with
Cloudburst, Debris' Elemental Overdrive is generally
regarded as less useful than Cloudburst's
buff-bestowing Friendly Fire.
Alternatives:
Resist Physical +36% (7): Given Debris' low HP, it would make sense to enhance
its durability with Resist Physical +36% and Resist
Magic +36%, since, combined, they are better at
maintaining HP than HP +30% alone. But because it has
two red-locks and natural resistances that diminish
the effects of Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic
+36%, Debris only has room for a single defensive
passive ability. It is practical, however, to remove
one or two of Debris' more situational passive
abilities, such as Role Resonance or Feral Speed II,
for Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% to
help Debris maintain its HP for Vigor.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: See above.
Stagger Maintenance II--: If Debris is the one to stagger an opponent, Stagger
Maintenance II ensures that it stays staggered for
30% longer. This passive ability is also synergetic
with Quick Stagger. However, it is often possible
to reach the maximum Stagger duration of 45 seconds
without this passive ability at all, and, as a
result, Stagger Maintenance II serves more as
"duration insurance" instead. This can be especially
handy for unrelenting opponents like Gilgamesh and
Valfodr.

10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: Mana for levels 2-20, 50, and 60-99. Potent for
levels 21-49 and 51-59. All-Vitality is also viable,
if you prefer greater durability at the expense of
less damage.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB, +1 Bonus Boost. However, choosing +2 ATB, +2
Bonus Boosts instead is also viable, as, at the
expense of double casting -ga spells against large
groups, Nekton will have an easier time synchronizing
its attacks with Paradigm Shifts against lone,
powerful opponents.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Nekton the full gamut of RAV spells - this
includes Fire, Aero, Fira, Aerora, Firaga, Thundaga,
and Aeroga. Then teach it Vigor by infusing 99 levels
worth of COM monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: With its high Magic, 6 ATB, RAV Bonus Boost, and lack
of weaknesses, Nekton is a formidable, exemplary RAV.
Nekton does not have any red-locked passive
abilities, which means that it can be infused with
all of the relevant RAV-focused and defensive passive
abilities, giving it great longevity in battle.
Nekton's small size also aids in its survival, as
some enemies, like bipedal Behemoths, will completely
miss it with their sweeping attacks. Its Feral Link,
Spider Web, causes Magic-based damage and allows it
to possibly inflict Fog, Pain, and Slow, and Deshell
on Nekton's target, allowing it to function in a
SAB-like capacity. It also has a maximum Synch Rate
of 300%, so it is suitable for capturing monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: Despite its high Magic, Nekton has a lower than
average casting speed of 60. It learns Froststrike,
so Nekton will alternate between Blizzard spells and
Froststrikes if its opponent has an Ice weakness.
While alternating between two types of attacks has
the benefit of slightly raising an opponent's Chain
Gauge more than casting Blizzards in succession, it
also slows Nekton down due to its slow casting speed,
hampering its damage potential. Against agile
opponents, its Froststrikes might sometimes miss,
too. Although Nekton's Feral Link can inflict rare
status ailments, the chances of them landing depend
on the Feral Link's Synch Rate and its target's Chain
Gauge and ailment resilience, rendering Spider Web's
effectiveness highly situational.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Nekton lacks an elemental weakness, this
defensive passive ability may keep it safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Stagger Maintenance II--: If Nekton is the one to stagger an opponent, Stagger
Maintenance II ensures that it stays staggered for

to reach the maximum Stagger duration of 45 seconds

result, Stagger Maintenance II serves more as

for levels 11-19, 21-29, 31-34, and 36-39.
All-Vitality is also viable, if you prefer greater
durability at the expense of less damage.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB, +1 Bonus Boost. However, choosing +2 ATB, +2
Bonus Boosts instead is also viable, as, at the
expense of double casting -ga spells against large
groups, Spiceacilian will have an easier time
synchronizing its attacks with Paradigm Shifts
against lone, powerful opponents.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Spiceacilian the full gamut of RAV spells -
this includes Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Fira,
Blizzara, Thundara, Firaga, Blizzaga, and Thundaga.
Then teach it Vigor by infusing 99 levels worth of
COM monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: Spiceacilian sports many advantages, including 6 ATB,
RAV Bonus Boost, and one of the highest Magic stats
among RAVs. It's greatest asset, though, is its Feral
Link, Refreshing Rain, which heals the entire party
and bestows Veil and Regen, which is a buff
unavailable to SYNs. Refreshing Rain is the fastest
charging Feral Link in the game, clocking in at 60
seconds. Through liberal use of its Feral Link,
Spiceacilian has incredible staying power and can
easily maintain Vigor. It also allows it to act in a
MED-like fashion in the heat of battle.
Disadvantages-----------: While Spiceacilian has high Magic, it has a slow 65</pre><pre id="faqspan-14">
casting speed. It learns Galestrike, so Spiceacilian
will alternate between Aero spells and Galestrikes if
its opponent has a Wind weakness. While alternating
between two types of attacks has the benefit of
slightly raising an opponent's Chain Gauge more than
casting Aeros in succession, it also slows
Spiceacilian down due to its slow casting speed,
hampering its damage potential. Against agile
opponents, its Galestrikes might sometimes miss, too.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Because Spiceacilian is weak to Lightning attacks,
this passive ability may keep it safe from powerful
Lightning attacks, such as Valfodr's Thundaga. If you
find yourself frequently thwarted by elemental
attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. However, given its elemental
weakness, it is very practical to remove one of
Spiceacilian's more situational passive abilities,
like Role Resonance or Feral Speed II, to make room
for Resist Magic +36% and completely maximize its
defenses.
Stagger Maintenance II--: If Spiceacilian is the one to stagger an opponent,
Stagger Maintenance II ensures that it stays
staggered for 30% longer. This passive ability is
also synergetic with Quick Stagger. However, it is
often possible to reach the maximum Stagger duration
of 45 seconds without this passive ability at all,
and, as a result, Stagger Maintenance II serves more
as "duration insurance" instead. This can be
especially handy for unrelenting opponents like
Gilgamesh and Valfodr.

Monster------: Swampmonk
Monster Role-: Ravager
Constellation: Sahagin
The Build:
01) HP +30% (8)
02) Magic +35% (7)
03) Resist Physical +36% (7)
04) Resist Magic +36% (7)
05) Role Resonance (7)
06) Quick Stagger (7)
07) Feral Speed II (6)
08) Siphon Boost II (6)
09) Chain Bonus Boost II (6)
10) Attack: ATB Charge II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana. All-Vitality is also viable, if you prefer
greater durability at the expense of less damage.
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Swampmonk Overwhelm, Fearsiphon, and the full
gamut of RAV spells - this includes Fire, Thunder,
Aero, Fira, Thundara, Aerora, Firaga, Thundaga, and
Aeroga. Then teach it Vigor by infusing 99 levels
worth of COM monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: Swampmonk is a monster to be reckoned with, boasting
the highest Magic of all non-DLC RAVs and a
respectable casting speed of 75. Swampmonk does not
have any red-locked passive abilities, which means
that it can be infused with all of the relevant
RAV-focused and defensive passive abilities, allaying
its weakness to Thunder attacks. Against an opponent
weak to Ice damage, Swampmonk will alternate between
Blizzard spells and Froststrikes. While this would
normally be a disadvantage, Swampmonk's Froststrike
is composed of two attacks that each affect its
opponent's Chain Gauge, which, together, raise it
more than a single, Blizzard. Its Feral Link, High
Dive, is an Ice-based attack that hits its target
and nearby enemies, making it highly effective
against opponents vulnerable to Ice damage.
Disadvantages-----------: While Swampmonk's Froststrike is more useful than
other RAVs', it slows it down, lowering its overall
damage potential. It must also approach its target
before using Froststrike, meaning that, against agile
opponents, it might sometimes miss. Swampmonk only
has 5 ATB and lacks a RAV Bonus Boost, so it cannot
compete with the Top-Tier and DLC RAVs in terms of
damage output and chaining capability. It is also
weak to Thunder attacks, making it a poor choice
against the likes of Lightning, PuPu, and Valfodr.
While Swampmonk's High Dive has a maximum Synch Rate
of 400%, keep in mind that it is an Ice-based attack,
so it may not always be suitable for capturing
monsters.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Because Swampmonk is weak to Lightning attacks, this
passive ability may keep it safe from powerful
Lightning attacks, such as Valfodr's Thundaga. If you
find yourself frequently thwarted by elemental
attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Stagger Maintenance II--: If Swampmonk is the one to stagger an opponent,
Stagger Maintenance II ensures that it stays
staggered for 30% longer. This passive ability is
also synergetic with Quick Stagger. However, it is
often possible to reach the maximum Stagger duration
of 45 seconds without this passive ability at all,
and, as a result, Stagger Maintenance II serves more
as "duration insurance" instead. This can be
especially handy for unrelenting opponents like
Gilgamesh and Valfodr.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Swampmonk's damage and do not mind limiting
your monster choices, consider using Pack Mentality
in place of Feral Speed II.

Monster------: Navidon
Monster Role-: Sentinel
Constellation: Armadillon, Armadon
The Build:
01) Feral Surge (RL)
02) Improved Counter II (RL)
03) Resist Elements +30% (9)
04) HP +30% (8)
05) Resilience +40% (8)
06) Resist Physical +36% (7)
07) Resist Magic +36% (7)
08) Feral Speed II (6)
09) Improved Guard II (6)
10) Improved Ward (5)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Vitality.
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 Bonus Boosts.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Navidon Provoke, Mediguard, Steelguard, and
Fringeward. Then teach it Reprieve by infusing 99
levels worth of MED monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: Found in the Clearwater Marshes of the Archylte
Steppe in rainy weather, Navidon is a formidable
SEN that only requires Grade 4 Biological Materials
to develop. While its maximum HP is even lower than
Goblin Chieftain's, Navidon has an innate resistance
to Ice attacks and halves the damage received from
physical, magic, Fire, Lightning, and Wind attacks,
which more than compensates for it. SEN Bonus Boost
II ensures that Navidon can reduce normal and Wound
damage as much as possible. Its counterattacks are
Ice-based attacks, making it highly effective against
opponents vulnerable to Ice damage.
Disadvantages-----------: Like most SENs that focus on defense, Navidon has
low Strength and Magic, preventing it from using its
Feral Link, Shell Spin, and its counterattacks
effectively. Even though it has a red-locked Improved
Counter II to enhance its counterattacks, all
Armadillon SENs use Magic-based counterattacks and
have poor Magic. To make matters worse, Navidon's
counterattacks are Ice-based attacks, so they are
useless against opponents with immunity to Ice.
Navidon is restricted to 3 ATB, preventing it from
using its abilities, such as Steelguard, for as long
as Pulse Gladiator, a Top-Tier SEN. While Shell Spin
has a maximum Synch Rate of 400%, it is based off of
Navidon's low Strength, so it is unsuitable for
capturing monsters.
Alternatives:
Rapid Recovery (8)------: This passive ability reduces the duration of status
ailments by 25%. This sounds more useful than it is
in practice, however. Usually, a status ailment can
either be ignored or it needs to be immediately
removed by items or Esuna. Neither of these
situations benefit from Rapid Recovery. Only use
this passive ability if you feel Navidon does not
benefit from any of the other suggested passive
abilities.
Strength +35% (7)-------: Navidon has impressive Strength to boost the power of
its Feral Link, Shell Spin, with an All-Power build.
However, using an All-Power build lowers its HP even
more, negating the benefits of its natural defenses.
Note that Navidon's counterattacks are Magic-based,
so do not use this passive ability to try and
enhance them. Furthermore, SEN A.I. will never use
counterattacks against the more difficult post-game
bosses and Coliseum opponents.
Role Resonance (7)------: Navidon's Feral Link can be powerful with an
All-Power build. This passive ability allows you to
defend yourself in the Tortoise Paradigm, block
powerful attacks, and then retaliate by unleashing
an enhanced Shell Spin. Note that Role Resonance is
not suggested for use with counterattacks, as it is
impractical to stay in the Tortoise Paradigm long
enough to see Entrench or Vendetta.
Critical: Shield II (6)-: This passive ability reduces incoming damage by 30%
for as long as Navidon remains in critical condition.
Unlike other Critical: Buff passive abilities, you do
not need to reach critical condition with Navidon on
the field - you can switch out a monster in critical
condition for Navidon and still benefit from the
ability.
Infusion Process (by iamins4ne):
Gather these monsters:
01) Lv. 40 Navidon
02) Lv. 33 Caterchipillar
03) Lv. 20 Lancer
04) Lv. 20 Lancer

Monster------: Silver Chocobo
Monster Role-: Sentinel
Constellation: Chocobo
The Build:
01) Item Scavenger II (RL)
02) Resist Elements +30% (9)
03) HP +30% (8)
04) Resilience +40% (8)
05) Magic +35% (7)
06) Resist Physical +36% (7)
07) Resist Magic +36% (7)
08) Role Resonance (7)
09) Improved Guard II (6)
10) Improved Ward (5)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana. All-Vitality is also viable, especially if
you prefer not to use offensive SENs.
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 Bonus Boosts.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Silver Chocobo Entrench and Element Guard. Then
teach it Reprieve by infusing 99 levels worth of MED
monsters into it.
Special Notes-----------: An All-Potent Silver Chocobo can be used to serve in
both battle and Chocobo Racing. However, if you will
only use Silver Chocobo in battle, an All-Mana build
is better for offense, and an All-Vitality build is
better for longevity.
Advantages--------------: Not only is Silver Chocobo easy to acquire, it is
also extremely versatile, too. Most easily acquired
via Improved Moogle Throw in Academia 4XX AF, Silver
Chocobo is cost-efficient to develop. Despite lacking
natural resistances, its high HP, Strength, and Magic
allow it to function well as both an offensive and
defensive SEN. With SEN Bonus Boost II and 4 ATB,
Silver Chocobo can reduce normal and Wound damage as
much as it can and use its abilities, such as
Steelguard, for longer than Goblin Chieftain, a
Top-Tier SEN. Silver Chocobo's Feral Link, Kweh Kweh,
is a powerful Magic-based attack that, when coupled
with Role Resonance, allows you to defend yourself
in the Tortoise Paradigm, block powerful attacks, and
retaliate by unleashing an enhanced Kweh Kweh. It
also has a maximum Synch Rate of 300%, so it is
suitable for capturing monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: Silver Chocobo does not naturally resist physical,
magic, or elemental attacks, so it cannot tank as
well as SENs like Pulse Gladiator or Navidon. It also
lacks innate defenses against status ailments, unlike
SENs like Goblin Chieftain or Tezcatlipoca. Although
Silver Chocobo has high Strength to utilize powerful
counterattacks, SEN A.I. will never use them against
the more difficult post-game bosses and Coliseum
opponents, reducing its effectiveness. Consistent use
of Kweh Kweh is also contingent upon the opponent and
personal play style.
Alternatives:
Critical: Haste (8)-----: Although it has high HP, Silver Chocobo lacks the
same beneficial resistances that Pulse Gladiator
enjoys, so this may be activated against the
strongest of opponents. Haste is also a rare buff
that can be utilized by the entire Paradigm Pack,
which may prove useful in extreme situations.
Critical: Tetradefense(8: Although it has high HP, Silver Chocobo lacks the
same beneficial resistances that Pulse Gladiator
enjoys, so this may be activated against the
strongest of opponents. This passive ability will
also help maximize the Paradigm Pack's defenses while
you spend time recovering. However, the defensive
buffs granted by Critical: Tetradefense can be
bestowed by Serah, Noel, or a SYN, and, if you are
in a battle where your SEN enters critical condition,
you should probably have the defensive buffs in place
already.
Rapid Recovery (8)------: This passive ability reduces the duration of status
ailments by 25%. This sounds more useful than it is
in practice, however. Usually, a status ailment can
either be ignored or it needs to be immediately
removed by items or Esuna. Neither of these
situations benefit from Rapid Recovery. Only use
this passive ability if you feel Silver Chocobo does
not benefit from any of the other suggested passive
abilities.
Strength +35% (7)-------: Silver Chocobo has impressive strength to boost the
power of its counterattacks. However, SEN A.I. will
never use counterattacks against the more difficult
post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents. If you
either want Silver Chocobo to be more offensive, feel
that it has adequate defenses already, or want to use
counterattacks for random encounters, consider
replacing Resist Elements +30% or Resilience +40% for
this.
Critical: Shield II (6)-: This passive ability reduces incoming damage by 30%
for as long as Silver Chocobo remains in critical
condition. Unlike other Critical: Buff passive
abilities, you do not need to reach critical
condition with Silver Chocobo on the field - you can
switch out a monster in critical condition for
Silver Chocobo and still benefit from the ability.
Item Collector (6)------: When paired with Silver Chocobo's red-locked Item
Scavenger II, this passive ability ensures that
Silver Chocobo increases the chances of obtaining
all sorts of items if it is the active monster when
a battle ends. However, because SENs are not fielded
as often as other Roles, Item Collector may see
little use.
Improved Counter II (6)-: This passive ability boosts the effectiveness of
counterattack abilities by 80%. Unfortunately,
post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents that might
benefit from an offensive SEN force SENs to only
use defensive abilities, like Steelguard, instead.
However, if you either want Silver Chocobo to be more
offensive, feel that it has adequate defenses
already, or want to use counterattacks for random
encounters, consider replacing Resist Elements +30%
or Resilience +40% for this.
Feral Speed II (6)------: Silver Chocobo has a powerful, Magic-based Feral
Link. Feral Speed II on an active monster also
increases the charge rate of the inactive monsters in
your Paradigm Pack. However, Hypnocrowns equipped on
Serah or Noel can either substitute for this passive
ability or augment it. If you make liberal use of its
Feral Link in the Tortoise Paradigm, consider
replacing Resist Elements +30% or Resilience +40% for
this.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-30% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. If you want to
maximize Silver Chocobo's Feral Link or counterattack
damage and do not mind limiting your monster choices,
consider using Pack Mentality in place of Resist
Elements +30% or Resilience +40%.

04) HP +30% (8)
05) Resilience +40% (8)

07) Resist Magic +36% (7)
08) Feral Speed II (6)
09) Improved Guard II (6)
10) Improved Ward (5)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Vitality.
Crystarium Expansions---: +1 ATB, +2 Bonus Boosts.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Tezcatlipoca Mediguard and Deathward. Then
teach it Reprieve by infusing 99 levels worth of MED
monsters into it.
Special Notes-----------: You have the option of only raising Tezcatlipoca to
Lv. 59 to avoid learning Auto-Tetradefense, but the
additional passive slot will not be used for anything
more significant. It is also the only source of
Auto-Tetradefense for infusion purposes.
Advantages--------------: Like Proto-behemoth, Tezcatlipoca can be found in
Academia 500 AF and only requires Grades 3 and 4
Biological Materials, which can be bought from
Chocolina. As such, it can serve as an adequate,
low-cost SEN for the storyline's final battles. It
has high HP, resists Lightning attacks, halves all
status ailments, and naturally learns Resist Physical
+36% and Resist Magic +36%. With SEN Bonus Boost II
and 4 ATB, Tezcatlipoca can reduce normal and Wound
damage as much as it can and use its abilities, such
as Steelguard, for longer than Goblin Chieftain, a
Top-Tier SEN. It's Feral Link, Raging Torrent,
provokes opponents to focus on Tezcatlipoca and can
possibly inflict the debilitating status ailments,
Curse, Fog, Pain, Debrave, and Defaith, the latter
two of which cannot be used by SABs.
Disadvantages-----------: Tezcatlipoca has a 3% tame rate, making it very
difficult to capture. Its Strength and Magic are
abysmally low, so it cannot effectively use
counterattacks or its Feral Link for inflicting
damage. Although Tezcatlipoca's Feral Link can
inflict rare status ailments, the chances of them
landing depend on the Feral Link's Synch Rate and its
target's Chain Gauge and ailment resilience,
rendering Raging Torrent's effectiveness highly
situational. While Tezcatlipoca's Raging Torrent has
a maximum Synch Rate of 300%, keep in mind that it
is a Magic-based attack. Because of its low Magic,
Tezcatlipoca is unsuitable for capturing monsters.
Alternatives:
Critical: Haste (8)-----: Although it has high HP, Tezcatlipoca lacks the same
beneficial resistances that Pulse Gladiator enjoys,
so this may be activated against the strongest of
opponents. Haste is also a rare buff that can be
utilized by the entire Paradigm Pack, which may prove
useful in extreme situations, and pairs well with
Tezcatlipoca's red-locked Critical: Tetradefense.
Rapid Recovery (8)------: This passive ability reduces the duration of status
ailments by 25%. This sounds more useful than it is
in practice, however. Usually, a status ailment can
either be ignored or it needs to be immediately
removed by items or Esuna. Neither of these
situations benefit from Rapid Recovery. Only use
this passive ability if you feel Tezcatlipoca does
not benefit from any of the other suggested passive
abilities.
Critical: Shield II (6)-: This passive ability reduces incoming damage by 30%
for as long as Tezcatlipoca remains in critical
condition. Unlike other Critical: Buff passive
abilities, you do not need to reach critical
condition with Tezcatlipoca on the field - you can
switch out a monster in critical condition for
Tezcatlipoca and still benefit from the ability.

Monster Materials to Use: Mana for levels 10 and 21-30. Potent for levels 2-9,
11-20, and 31-45.
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 ATB. However, choosing +2 Bonus Boosts is also
viable if you prefer buff duration over ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Amanojaku Boon by infusing 99 levels worth of
SAB monsters into it. After that, you can carefully
mold it by choosing select abilities, such as only
Bravery and Bravega. Amanojaku's limited moveset can
be used to your advantage, since you can specialize
it in any way you want.
Advantages--------------: The only SYN to only learn En- buffs, Amanojaku
serves as a true blank slate, offering even more
customizability than Ultros. If, for some reason, you
only wanted to buff your party with Bravery, it could
oblige. By infusing Amanojaku with only certain
buffs, it can avoid wasting precious time on unneeded
ones. It is particularly potent in battles when you
want to Auto-Buff or Critical: Buff your entire party
at the beginning so that Amanojaku quickly bestows
En- buffs. These unique traits, as well as its fast
105 casting speed, make Amanojaku a valuable asset
for short, surgical battles. It also carries the
red-locked passive ability, Weak Spot, boosting
Serah and Noel's damage if they target an opponent's
weakness whenever it is in on the field.
Disadvantages-----------: Although it does not have any innate weaknesses,
Amanojaku has low HP, even with HP +30%, and lacks
natural defenses. It also has low Magic, does not
have access to SYN Bonus Boosts without sacrificing
ATB, and lacks any form of Augment Maintenance, so
the duration of its buff leave much to be desired,
which means that Amanojaku should not be used in
long, drawn-out battles. While Amanojaku's Feral
Link, Giant Drop, has a maximum Synch Rate of 300%,
it is unsuitable for capturing monsters due to its
poor Strength and Magic.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Amanojaku lacks an elemental weakness, it
has low HP, so this defensive passive ability may
keep it safe from powerful elemental attacks, such as
Typhon's Fireball. If you find yourself frequently
thwarted by elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Vigilance (8)------: If you plan to use Amanojaku solely for passing on
Auto-Buffs to the rest of the Paradigm Pack, you
could replace Auto-Tetradefense with Auto-Vigilance,
Auto-Protect, and Auto-Shell in order to extend their
durations for 30 seconds more. If you decide to do
this, consider replacing Resist Physical +36% and
Resist Magic +36% with Auto-Protect and Auto-Shell.
Remember, while it is much easier to use these
replacements instead of capturing Tezcatlipoca for
Auto-Tetradefense, they are not necessarily the most
optimal options.
Auto-Protect (7)--------: See above.
Auto-Shell (7)----------: See above.
Defense Maintenance (5)-: This passive ability extends the duration of Protect,
Protectga, Shell, Shellga, Veil, Veilga, and
Vigilaga. Since defensive buffs last longer than
augments, though, the extended duration may not be
necessary for most battles.

Monster------: Gahongas
Monster Role-: Synergist
Constellation: Demon
The Build:
01) Auto-Haste (9)
02) Auto-Tetradefense (9)
03) HP +30% (8)
04) Magic +35% (7)
05) Resist Physical +36% (7)
06) Resist Magic +36% (7)
07) Auto-Bravery (7)
08) Auto-Faith (7)
09) Feral Speed II (6)
10) First Strike (6)
Monster Materials to Use: Mana for levels 62-65 and 67-99. Potent for levels
2-61 and 66.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB, +1 Bonus Boost. However, choosing +2 ATB, +2
Bonus Boosts is also viable if you prefer buff
duration over ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Gahongas Bravega, Faithga, Vigilaga, Protectga,
Shellga, Enfire, Enfrost, Enthunder, and Enaero. Then
teach her boon by infusing 99 levels worth of SAB
monsters into her.
Advantages--------------: While Gahongas shares the same advantages and
Yakshini, including the same 100 casting speed and
the capability to serve as a competent, all-around
SYN, she has the luxury of an extra Crystarium
Expansion, giving her access to SYN Bonus Boost,
which increases the duration of the buffs she casts.
Gahongas does not have any red-locked passive
abilities, which means she can be infused with all
three core defensive passive abilities with space
left over for some minor flexibility. The most
important characteristic Gahongas has in common with
Yakshini, though, is her Feral Link, Fanatical Dance.
Fanatical Dance bestows Protect, Shell, Bravery,
Faith, Veil, and Vigilance, with each buff in
Gahongas' Feral Link applying Boon to all buffs
before it, which results in a long-lasting
application of almost every buff in the game.
Disadvantages-----------: Despite having access to at least SYN Bonus Boost,
Gahongas has subpar Magic compared to other SYNs and
lacks the valuable passive ability, Augment
Maintenance II, so the durations of her buffs are not
comparable to the likes of Purple Chocobo or Imp. She
naturally learns Shell and Veilga, so Gahongas cannot
be used strictly as an augment-focused SYN. Given her
casting speed, though, the time she spends casting
defensive buffs in minimal.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Gahongas lacks an elemental weakness, she
has low HP, so this defensive passive ability may
keep her safe from powerful elemental attacks, such
as Typhon's Fireball. If you find yourself frequently
thwarted by elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Vigilance (8)------: If you plan to use Gahongas solely for passing on
Auto-Buffs to the rest of the Paradigm Pack, you
could replace Auto-Tetradefense with Auto-Vigilance,
Auto-Protect, and Auto-Shell in order to extend their
durations for 30 seconds more. If you decide to do
this, consider replacing Resist Physical +36% and
First Strike with Auto-Protect and Auto-Shell.
Remember, while it is much easier to use these
replacements instead of capturing Tezcatlipoca for
Auto-Tetradefense, they are not necessarily the most
optimal options.
Auto-Protect (7)--------: See above.
Auto-Shell (7)----------: See above.
Defense Maintenance (5)-: This passive ability extends the duration of Protect,
Protectga, Shell, Shellga, Veil, Veilga, and
Vigilaga. Since defensive buffs last longer than
augments, though, the extended duration may not be
necessary for most battles.

Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana.
Crystarium Expansions---: +3 ATB. However, choosing +1 ATB, +2 Bonus Boosts
instead is also viable if you prefer buff duration
over ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Imp Protectga, Vigilaga, Enfire, Enfrost,
Enthunder, and Enaero. Then teach it Boon by infusing
99 levels worth of SAB monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: Armed with 6 ATB and a wide array of offensive and
defensive buffs, Imp serves as an effective,
well-rounded SYN. Imp's incredible 105 casting speed
lets it quickly enhance the entire party, and its
high Magic, Boon, and red-locked passive ability,
Augment Maintenance II, ensures that its buffs have a
long duration. Its tiny size grants Imp amazing
maneuverability, meaning that it does not have to
waste time reorienting itself before casting spells.
It naturally halves magical and elemental damage,
which, combined with Protect, Shell, HP +30%, Resist
Physical +36%, and Resist Magic +36%, renders Imp
resilient against all sorts of attacks. While the
first hit of Imp's Feral Link, Giant Drop is
Strength-based, the second hit is Magic-based and
has a maximum Synch Rate of 350%, so it is suitable
for capturing monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: Because Imp lacks SYN Bonus Boost and has slightly
less Magic, its buffs will not last as long as those
cast by Purple Chocobo. It naturally learns Shell and
Shellga, so Imp cannot be used strictly as an
augment-focused SYN. Given its casting speed, though,
the time it spends casting defensive buffs is
minimal. It also possesses a glaring weakness to
physical attacks, which the majority of enemies can
use. However, this flaw can be mitigated by Protect
and Resist Physical +36%.
Alternatives:
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous</pre><pre id="faqspan-15">

07) Auto-Bravery (7)
08) Auto-Faith (7)
09) Feral Speed II (6)
10) Improved Cure II (6)
Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana.
Crystarium Expansion----: +1 ATB. However, choosing +1 Bonus Boost instead is
also viable if you prefer buff duration over ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Miquitzli Protectga, Shellga, Faithga, Veilga,
Vigilaga, Enfire, and Enfrost. Then teach it Boon by
infusing 99 levels worth of SAB monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: As its appearance suggests, Miquiztli is a slow,
tank-like SYN with a myriad of offensive and
defensive buffs at its disposal, making it useful in
all sorts of situations. It naturally resist Wind
damage, and its red-locked passive ability, Augment
Maintenance II, gives a large boost to the duration
of all of Miquiztli's offensive buffs, which can be
further extended with Endless Blessings. Its Feral
Link, Terra Fantasy, is a life-saving technique that,
because it possesses the highest modifier of any
Feral Link in the game, gives Miquiztli the ability
to instantly recover over half of the entire party's
HP and removes status ailments, letting it function
as both SYN and MED, giving the Paradigm Pack more
versatility.
Disadvantages-----------: Due to its low maximum level, Miquiztli is limited
to only one Crystarium Expansion. Its Magic is much
lower than average, and it lacks SYN Bonus Boost, so
the length of Miquiztli's buffs isn't that
impressive, even with Augment Maintenance II. As it
naturally learns Protect and Veil, Miquiztli cannot
be used as an augment-focused SYN, meaning that, with
its low 70 casting speed, it wastes precious time
casting the less important defensive buffs before the
more useful offensive ones. In addition, Miquiztli
will, depending on the opponent, cast single-target
buffs over the multi-target variants, even in a -Wide
Paradigm. Its large girth prevents it from quickly
getting into position for buff casting, slowing
Miquiztli even further.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Miquiztli lacks an elemental weakness, this
defensive passive ability may keep it safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Vigilance (8)------: If you plan to use Miquiztli solely for passing on
Auto-Buffs to the rest of the Paradigm Pack, you
could replace Auto-Tetradefense with Auto-Vigilance,
Auto-Protect, and Auto-Shell in order to extend their
durations for 30 seconds more. If you decide to do
this, consider replacing Resist Physical +36% and
Resist Magic +36% with Auto-Protect and Auto-Shell.
Remember, while it is much easier to use these
replacements instead of capturing Tezcatlipoca for
Auto-Tetradefense, they are not necessarily the most
optimal options.
Auto-Protect (7)--------: See above.
Auto-Shell (7)----------: See above.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. However, it is very practical to
remove one of Miquiztli's more situational passive
abilities, like Auto-Bravery, to make room for Resist
Magic +36% and completely maximize its defenses.
First Strike (6)--------: A passive ability that ensures Miquiztli has full ATB
to begin buffing as soon as a battle begins. However,
since it requires two passive ability slots to
enhance its Feral Link, Miquiztli does not have room
for this. Also, Miquiztli will likely be on the field
longer than usual because of its sluggishness, so
First Strike won't save that much time in the long
run.
Defense Maintenance (5)-: This passive ability extends the duration of Protect,
Protectga, Shell, Shellga, Veil, Veilga, and
Vigilaga. Since defensive buffs last longer than
augments, though, the extended duration may not be
necessary for most battles.

Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana.
Crystarium Expansion----: +1 ATB. However, choosing +1 Bonus Boost instead is
also viable if you prefer buff duration over ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Nanochu Faithga and Vigilaga. Then teach it
Boon by infusing 99 levels worth of SAB monsters into
it.
Special Notes-----------: Nanochu is one of two monsters that can transfer
Pack Mentality. Keep in mind that, because Pack
Mentality is a damage modifier, it is worthless to
Nanochu. If you plan to use Nanochu, remove Pack
Mentality and replace it with a more useful passive
ability.
Advantages--------------: Because it only learns Bravery, Bravega, Faith,
Vigilance and the four En- buffs, Nanochu is one of
the few strictly augment-oriented SYNs in the game
that can perform well in post-game. It possesses the
red-locked passive ability, Augment Maintenance II,
which, combined with Boon and Nanochu's fast 90
casting speed, allows it to apply long-lasting buffs
in a timely manner. Nanochu's small stature is also
an asset, as it can quickly face its target without
wasting time positioning itself. It's second
red-locked passive ability, Feral Surge, is not
hindered by the commonly-associated Feral Fatigue,
which means that Nanochu can receive a slew of buffs
the moment its Feral Link Gauge completely charges
without suffering any repercussions after using its
Feral Link.
Disadvantages-----------: Nanochu is restricted to only one Crystarium
Expansion, gaining more ATB for casting two
single-target buffs in a row at the expense of a 15%
increase in buff duration from SYN Bonus Boost. It
does not have SYN Bonus Boost, nor is its Magic
particularly impressive, so Nanochu's buffs will not
last as long compared to those cast by Top-Tier SYNs,
although Augment Maintenance II helps to compensate.
While Nanochu's Feral Link, Meteorite, has a maximum
Synch Rate of 300%, keep in mind that it is a
Strength-based attack. Because of its low Strength,
Nanochu is unsuitable for capturing monsters.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Even though Nanochu lacks an elemental weakness, this
defensive passive ability may keep it safe from
powerful elemental attacks, such as Typhon's
Fireball. If you find yourself frequently thwarted by
elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Vigilance (8)------: If you plan to use Nanochu solely for passing on
Auto-Buffs to the rest of the Paradigm Pack, you
could replace Auto-Tetradefense with Auto-Vigilance,
Auto-Protect, and Auto-Shell in order to extend their
durations for 30 seconds more. If you decide to do
this, consider replacing Resist Physical +36% and
First Strike with Auto-Protect and Auto-Shell.
Remember, while it is much easier to use these
replacements instead of capturing Tezcatlipoca for
Auto-Tetradefense, they are not necessarily the most
optimal options.
Auto-Protect (7)--------: See above.
Auto-Shell (7)----------: See above.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. However, it is very practical to
remove one of Nanochu's more situational passive
abilities, like Auto-Bravery or First Strike, to make
room for Resist Magic +36% and completely maximize
its defenses.
Defense Maintenance (5)-: This passive ability extends the duration of Protect,
Protectga, Shell, Shellga, Veil, Veilga, and
Vigilaga. Since defensive buffs last longer than
augments, though, the extended duration may not be
necessary for most battles. Plus, Nanochu does not
learn any defensive passive abilities, nor should it
be infused with any, as it is an augment-oriented
SYN.

07) Resist Physical +36% (7)

Monster Materials to Use: All-Mana.
Crystarium Expansions---: +2 ATB. However, choosing +2 Bonus Boosts instead is
also viable if you prefer buff duration over ATB.
Additional Abilities----: Teach Sahagin Prince Bravery, Vigilaga, Enfire,
Enfrost, Enthunder, and Enaero. Then teach it Boon by
infusing 99 levels worth of SAB monsters into it.
Advantages--------------: Unlike other SYNs, Sahagin Prince is not known for
long-lasting buffs, high Magic, or durability in
battle. It does, however, have a lightning-fast 130
casting speed, second only to Gigantuar's. While it
has poor Magic, it does have the red-locked passive
ability, Augment Maintenance, to somewhat make up for
it. It's second red-locked passive ability, Feral
Surge, is not hindered by the commonly-associated
Feral Fatigue, which means that Sahagin Prince can
receive a slew of buffs the moment its Feral Link
Gauge completely charges without suffering any
repercussions after using its Feral Link. What makes
Sahagin Prince of particular note is its Feral Link,
Abyssal Breath, which has a high debuff success rate.
Sahagin Prince's Abyssal Breath can be used against
opponents with high ailment resistances, like
Raspatil and Valfodr Lv. 70, as soon as they're
staggered, inflicting Wound damage, Deprotect,
Deshell, and, unlike Apkallu's Abyssal Breath,
Imperil in one move. This allows the party to focus
on maximizing the amount of damage inflicted on the
opponent without having to waste time sticking
debuffs. It also has a maximum Synch Rate of 350%, so
it is suitable for capturing monsters.
Disadvantages-----------: Sahagin Prince has low Magic, no SYN Bonus Boosts,
and the lesser Augment Maintenance, making it a poor
SYN in terms of buff duration. It naturally learns
Shell, so Sahagin Prince cannot be used strictly as
an augment-focused SYN. Given its casting speed,
though, the time it spends casting defensive buffs is
minimal. While it does not have any particular
weakness, Sahagin Prince has low HP, even with
HP +30%, and lacks natural defenses.
Alternatives:
Resist Elements +30% (9): Although Sahagin Prince lacks an elemental weakness,
it has low HP, so this defensive passive ability may
keep it safe from powerful elemental attacks, such as
Typhon's Fireball. If you find yourself frequently
thwarted by elemental attacks, try this.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Vigilance (8)------: If you plan to use Sahagin Prince solely for passing
on Auto-Buffs to the rest of the Paradigm Pack, you
could replace Auto-Tetradefense with Auto-Vigilance,
Auto-Protect, and Auto-Shell in order to extend their
durations for 30 seconds more. If you decide to do
this, consider replacing Resist Physical +36% and
First Strike with Auto-Protect and Auto-Shell.
Remember, while it is much easier to use these
replacements instead of capturing Tezcatlipoca for
Auto-Tetradefense, they are not necessarily the most
optimal options.
Auto-Protect (7)--------: See above.
Auto-Shell (7)----------: See above.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. However, it is very practical to
remove one of Sahagin Prince's more situational
passive abilities, like Auto-Bravery or First Strike,
to make room for Resist Magic +36% and completely
maximize its defenses.
First Strike (6)--------: A passive ability that ensures Sahagin Prince has
full ATB to begin buffing as soon as a battle begins.
However, since Sahagin Prince is normally used to
transfer its Auto-Buffs to the rest of the Paradigm
Pack at the start of a battle and for its En- buffs
and Feral Link in the middle of battle, it is not as
useful as it is on other SYNs.
Defense Maintenance (5)-: This passive ability extends the duration of Protect,
Protectga, Shell, Shellga, Veil, Veilga, and
Vigilaga. Since defensive buffs last longer than
augments, though, the extended duration may not be
necessary for most battles.

..............................................................................
Note: When fully customizing a monster's passive abilities, it is not enough to
merely identify which monster possesses the passive ability you want. You
need to also consider the other passive abilities a monster learns. To
rid yourself of unwanted passive abilities, you will need to manually
remove them. For further details, visit Section 09 - Monster Infusion
[HiddenU].

|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
This section provides a "template" that can be applied to nearly all monsters,
organized by Role. Regardless of how good, bad, strong, weak, mainstream, or
underappreciated a monster may be, you will be able to apply these guidelines
to make the most of it. Keep in mind that these rules apply best to monsters
who serve a "normal" function. Monsters with special gimmicks sometimes merit
consideration of different passive abilities not listed below, such as Don
Tonberry and its Critical: Buff passive abilities.
As was the case with Section 12 - Top-Tier Builds [TTBuild], Section 13 - DLC
Builds [DLCBild], and Section 14 - Notable Monster Builds [NMBuild], the
passive abilities discussed below were objectively tiered by the GameFAQs
Final Fantasy XIII-2 message board's building community. Passive abilities are
divided into three tiers, with each tier having its own definition:
Primary Passive Abilities--: Mandatory on all monsters except for under very
specific circumstances.
Secondary Passive Abilities: Good in almost every situation, chosen based on
individual preferences.
Tertiary Passive Abilities-: Only good if extra passive ability slots are
available or under specific circumstances, chosen
based on individual preferences.
+-----------+
| Commandos |
+-----------+
..............................................................................
Monster Materials to Use: Focus on their primary attacking stat by using
All-Power or All-Mana Materials. Use the Monster
Growth Spreadsheets to discover when using Potent
Materials are just as beneficial as Power or Mana
Materials. If your COM has nearly equal Strength and
Magic and you plan on utilizing both (a rare and
often ill-advised choice), using All-Potent Materials
will likely strike the best balance.
Crystarium Expansions---: Choose to increase ATB segments for fast-attacking
COMs, like both of the Top-Tier COMs. Prioritize
Bonus Boosts for slow-attacking COMs, such as
Behemoth and Miniflan. COMs that use Blitz attacks
work best with 4 or 6 ATB, while COMs that use Area
Sweep or Ruinga benefit from 3 or 6 ATB.
Additional Abilities--- : There is no reason not to teach your COM every
infusable ability, as none of them have detrimental
effects on COM A.I. Jeopardize can be taught by
infusing 99 levels worth of RAV monsters into your
COM.
Primary Passive Abilities:
Strength +35% (7)-------: Every COM that utilizes Strength for physical attacks
should know this passive ability. If the COM in
question is proficient at both Strength and Magic,
add Magic +35%. However, infusing Magic +35% on a
strictly Strength-based COM serves little purpose and
wastes a passive ability slot.
Magic +35% (7)----------: Every COM that utilizes Magic for magic attacks
should know this passive ability. If the COM in
question is proficient at both Strength and Magic,
add Strength +35%. However, infusing Strength +35% on
a strictly Magic-based COM serves little purpose and
wastes a passive ability slot.
Role Resonance (7)------: Increases your COM's damage modifier by 20% when
using the Cerberus Paradigm. This boost is
significant, since the Cerberus Paradigm is the best
damage-dealing Paradigm available.
Siphon Boost II (6)-----: Multiplies the effects of Faultsiphon (recharges an
ATB segment by 0.2 if attacking an opponent afflicted
with a status ailment), Lifesiphon (recharges one ATB
segment if killing an opponent), Attack: ATB Charge,
Attack: ATB Charge II, and Kill: ATB Charge by 2. An
essential passive ability for any COM that uses
Attack: ATB Charge II, even more so because of a
COM's two good -siphon abilities.
Chain Bonus Boost II (6): This passive ability allows a COM to contribute more
to raising an opponent's Chain Gauge in both the
pre-Stagger and post-Stagger phases. It can decrease
the length of boss battles and allows your COM to
greatly raise a post-Staggered opponent's Chain Gauge
without dedicating a lot of time to Ravager-heavy
Paradigms.
Attack: ATB Charge II (6: An essential passive ability that recharges 20% of
an ATB Gauge segment each time an opponent is
attacked, which helps your COM attack more often.
Secondary Passive Abilities:
HP +30% (8)-------------: If you only have one slot (or if you have excessive
slots) available for defensive passive abilities,
choose this, as it offers a 30% increase to your
COM's maximum HP, which aids in its survival and
keeps its HP over 70% for Adrenaline's damage boost.
Resist Physical +36% (7): If you have two slots available for defensive passive
abilities, use this in conjunction with HP +30%.
While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. If you have three slots available
for defensive passive abilities, though, use HP +30%,
Resist Physical +36%, and Resist Magic +36%. Keep in
mind that if your COM naturally halves or resists
physical or magic attacks, the effects of Resist
Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are reduced
accordingly. In the case that your COM only resists
physical attacks but not magic ones (or vice-versa),
you may wish to include only Resist Magic +36% (or
Resist Physical +36%) in an attempt to maintain
balance.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: See above.
Feral Speed II (6)------: COMs generally have strong, offensive Feral Links
that can be used to augment their offensive
capabilities. Analyze each COM on an individual basis
before infusing this passive ability, as some Feral
Links are better than others. Feral Links that
inflict high damage, hit multiple times, and have a
long duration are important to consider when judging
them. A Feral Link's length is especially important,
because an opponent's Stagger Gauge pauses during the
Feral Link animation, giving Serah and Noel the
opportunity to squeeze in additional attacks. Note
that the Party Leader will only attack during the
Feral Link if he or she was already doing so when the
Feral Link was activated. CPU-controlled party
members are not restricted, however. Another
important point to consider is that, even if the
Feral Link of a particular COM is relatively poor,
Feral Speed II on a COM on the battlefield increases
the recharge rates of the entire Paradigm Pack's
Feral Links. Since COMs are normally fielded for
extended periods of time, this passive ability could
prove useful for your other two monsters.
Tertiary Passive Abilities:
Resist Elements +30% (9): This passive ability is generally recommended if your
COM possesses an elemental weakness. It could also
be used as an additional source of defense if your
COM has passive ability slots to spare.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Critical: Haste (8)-----: A potentially useful option for COMs with low HP,
like Cactuar. Since Haste is a buff cannot be cast by
SYNs, this passive ability might prove useful,
provided your COM has room available.
Auto-Bravery (7)--------: An excellent passive ability for Strength-based COMs
that are used at the start of battle for the express
purpose of dealing with random encounters as quickly
and efficiently as possible. It is NOT recommended
for boss battles, as you should not generally lead
with a COM.
Auto-Faith (7)----------: An excellent passive ability for Magic-based COMs
that are used at the start of battle for the express
purpose of dealing with random encounters as quickly
and efficiently as possible. It is NOT recommended
for boss battles, as you should not generally lead
with a COM.
Gilfinder II (6)--------: This passive ability can be used to farm gil from
Raspatil and, to a lesser degree, Yomi. It also
stacks with Durable Collector's Catalogs.
Item Collector (6)------: This passive ability can be used to farm rare items,
such as Yomi's Trapezohedron or Immortal's Romulus &
Remus. It does NOT stack with Durable Collector's
Catalogs.
Ally KO: Power Surge II-: This passive ability provides a large 130% boost to
Strength and Magic for each KO'd ally. While it is
highly situational, Ally KO: Power Surge II can be
of great use to COM Lightning, as it brings out her
potential to capitalize on Uncapped Damage.
Kill: ATB Charge (5)----: A very conditional passive ability that should only
be used for random encounters by COMs that lack
area-of-effect attacks, like Chichu and Cactuar. It
is NOT advisable for boss battles or on COMs that can
use Blitz, Area Sweep, or Ruinga.
Item Scavenger II (4)---: This passive ability can be used to farm common
items. It does NOT stack with Durable Collector's
Catalogs.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. While it can
only be infused twice without DLC, the "Perpetual
Battlefield" DLC provides this passive ability in
unlimited quantities.

| Ravagers |
+----------+
..............................................................................
Monster Materials to Use: The majority of RAVs use Magic, necessitating an
All-Mana build. Use the Monster Growth Spreadsheets
to discover when using Potent Materials are just
as beneficial as Mana Materials. For RAVs that rely
on -strike and Blitz abilities, consider using Power
Materials. If they are skilled at switching between
spells and -strikes, Potent Materials are better. Due
to chaining mechanics, RAVs are likely to alternate
between spells and -strikes if an opponent has an
elemental weakness, necessitating a balance.
Crystarium Expansions---: Choose to increase ATB segments for fast-attacking
RAVs, like Blue Chocobo and Lightning. Prioritize
Bonus Boosts for slow-attacking RAVs, such as Notsugo
and Pink Lily, as they will have an easier time
synchronizing their attacks in time with Paradigm
Shifts.
Additional Abilities----: Magic-based RAVs should learn every infusable spell.
Strength-based RAVs can avoid learning spells in
order to encourage physical attacks, but, if they
naturally learn a spell and incorporates it into
their attack chain, it would not hurt to make sure
that they cover all four elements. Teaching -ra or
-ga spells to such RAVs would encourage them to use
such attacks against staggered opponents (-ra spells)
or multiple targets (-ra and -ga spells), so be sure
to choose based on your needs. Vigor can be taught by
infusing 99 levels worth of COM monsters into your
RAV.
Primary Passive Abilities:
Strength +35% (7)-------: Every RAV that will reliably use -strike attacks in
succession should know this passive ability. For RAVs
that are likely to cast spells as often as they use
-strike attacks, consider infusing Magic +35%, too.
Magic +35% (7)----------: Every RAV that will reliably cast spells in
succession should know this passive ability. For RAVs
that are likely to use -strike attacks as often as
they cast spells, consider infusing Strength +35%,
too.
Siphon Boost II (6)-----: Multiplies the effects of Fearsiphon (recharges an
ATB segment by 0.1 if attacking a staggered
opponent), Attack: ATB Charge, Attack: ATB Charge II,
and Kill: ATB Charge by 2. An essential passive
ability for any RAV that uses Attack: ATB Charge II,
even more so for RAVs that continue to attack
post-Stagger.
Chain Bonus Boost II (6): As it is a RAV's primary duty to raise an opponent's
Chain Gauge, this passive ability allows a RAV to
raise it even more with each spell or -strike attack.
Attack: ATB Charge II (6: An essential passive ability that recharges 20% of
an ATB Gauge segment each time an opponent is
attacked, which helps your RAV attack and chain more
often.
Secondary Passive Abilities:
HP +30% (8)-------------: If you only have one slot (or if you have excessive
slots) available for defensive passive abilities,
choose this, as it offers a 30% increase to your
RAV's maximum HP, which aids in its survival and
keeps its HP over 70% for Vigor's chain-raising
boost.
Resist Physical +36% (7): If you have two slots available for defensive passive
abilities, use this in conjunction with HP +30%.
While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. If you have three slots available
for defensive passive abilities, though, use HP +30%,
Resist Physical +36%, and Resist Magic +36%. Keep in
mind that if your RAV naturally halves or resists
physical or magic attacks, the effects of Resist
Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are reduced
accordingly. In the case that your RAV only resists
physical attacks but not magic ones (or vice-versa),
you may wish to include only Resist Magic +36% (or
Resist Physical +36%) in an attempt to maintain
balance.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: See above.
Role Resonance (7)------: Increases your RAV's damage modifier by 20% when
using the Tri-Disaster Paradigm. While a RAV's
primary duty is to raise an opponent's Chain Gauge,
RAVs are still the second best at inflicting damage,
so this passive ability is a solid choice. However,
if you do not use the Tri-Disaster Paradigm, skip
Role Resonance.
Quick Stagger (7)-------: This passive ability allows for instantaneous
Staggering if your RAV attacks an opponent with 90%
of their Chain Gauge filled. Alone, Quick Stagger
saves valuable time and makes it easier to defeat
stubborn opponents, like Ispusteke. It is effective
to use this with Stagger Maintenance II, although it
is not necessary.
Feral Speed II (6)------: RAVs have versatile Feral Links. Some inflict damage,
while some bestow buffs or debuff opponents. Analyze
each RAV on an individual basis before infusing this
passive ability, as some Feral Links are better than
others. Feral Links that inflict high damage, hit
multiple times, and have a long duration are
important to consider when judging them. A Feral
Link's length is especially important, because an
opponent's Stagger Gauge pauses during the Feral Link
animation, giving Serah and Noel the opportunity to
squeeze in additional attacks. Note that the Party
Leader will only attack during the Feral Link if he
or she was already doing so when the Feral Link was
activated. CPU-controlled party members are not
restricted, however. Another important point to
consider is that, even if the Feral Link of a
particular RAV is relatively poor, Feral Speed II on
a COM on the battlefield increases the recharge rates
of the entire Paradigm Pack's Feral Links. Since RAVs
are normally fielded for extended periods of time,
this passive ability could prove useful for your
other two monsters.
Tertiary Passive Abilities:
Resist Elements +30% (9): This passive ability is generally recommended if your
RAV possesses an elemental weakness. It could also
be used as an additional source of defense if your
RAV has passive ability slots to spare.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Stagger Maintenance II--: If your RAV is the one to stagger an opponent,
Stagger Maintenance II ensures that it stays
staggered for 30% longer. This passive ability is
also synergetic with Quick Stagger, as it steers the
chances of your RAV being the one to stagger an
opponent in your favor. This passive ability must
be used with Quick Stagger if you want it to
activate with any amount of frequency. However, it is
often possible to reach the maximum Stagger duration
of 45 seconds without this passive ability at all,
and, as a result, Stagger Maintenance II serves more
as "duration insurance" instead. This can be
especially handy for unrelenting opponents like
Gilgamesh and Valfodr.
Pack Mentality (4)------: This passive ability provides an additive 30% damage
boost when every monster in your Paradigm Pack shares
the same Crystarium constellation. When all is said
and done, though, Pack Mentality only provides a
10-15% increase in damage because of how it is
combined with other damage modifiers. While it can
only be infused twice without DLC, the "Perpetual
Battlefield" DLC provides this passive ability in
unlimited quantities.
..............................................................................
+-----------+
| Sentinels |
+-----------+
..............................................................................
Monster Materials to Use: An All-Vitality build offers a SEN a larger HP pool
to support its role as a damage sponge. A higher
maximum HP equates to a smaller percentage of HP lost
from being attacked, which help COMs and RAVs
maintain Adrenaline and Vigor respectively. Potent or
Power Materials can be used for offensive SENs, like
those that specialize in counterattacks or have
powerful Feral Links.
Crystarium Expansions---: Prioritize Bonus Boosts to mitigate the damage your
SEN and the rest of the party take.
Additional Abilities----: SENs prioritize -guard abilities against post-game
bosses and Coliseum opponents. As such, Entrench and
Vendetta serve little use outside of offensive
builds. Still, infusing them does not interfere with
SEN A.I. in post-game. Repreive can be taught by
infusing 99 levels worth of MED monsters into your
SEN.
Primary Passive Abilities:
HP +30% (8)-------------: A 30% increase to your SEN's maximum HP enhances
its durability and is beneficial under almost every
circumstance. However, if you are trying to heal your
SEN with a MED, it will take more time to recover if
percentage-based Cure spells are used.
Resist Physical +36% (7): Since the primary purpose of a SEN is to reduce
damage, this passive ability, coupled with Resist
Magic +36% is very important, even on SENs that
naturally resist physical or magic attacks, as any
damage-reducing passive ability helps maintain HP
and reduces the time spent in healing Paradigms.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: See above.
Improved Guard II (6)---: This passive ability enhances the effectiveness of
Mediguard and Steelguard by 16%, which helps SENs
reduce damage.
Improved Ward (5)-------: This passive ability enhances the effectiveness of
Deathward, and, more importantly, Fringeward by 08%.
Because Fringeward reduces area-of-effect damage to
the party, it is important for SEN functionality.
Secondary Passive Abilities:
Resist Elements +30% (9): This passive ability provides another layer of
protection for your SEN. Even though mosts SENs
possess natural elemental resistances, it can still
be used to mitigate damage from the likes of Typhon's
Fireball and Valfodr's -aga spells.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished. Still, SENs have
plenty of room for it, and it adds an additional
layer of coverage so that your SEN can resist both
damage and status ailments.
Feral Speed II (6)------: This can prove useful if your SEN stays out on the
field for an extended period of time to defend your
party, since Feral Speed II increases the recharge
rates of the entire Paradigm Pack's Feral Links. It
is especially important for some offensive SENs, as
many rely on their Feral Links for their primary
means of attacking.
Tertiary Passive Abilities:
Auto-Haste (9)----------: For the most part, SENs do not usually start battles.
However, some Coliseum opponents, like Gilgamesh and
Valfodr necessitate a SEN's presence at almost all
times. In such situations, a SEN with Auto-Haste can
pass its benefits on to the rest of the Paradigm Pack
for as long as its Haste lasts.
Critical: Haste (8)-----: While bestowing Haste to the Paradigm Pack by any
means seems like a wise idea, the times when a SEN
reaches critical condition to make use of Critical:
Haste will be rare. In such situations, though,
Haste's benefits will likely be appreciated.
Critical: Tetradefense(8: While bestowing Protect, Shell, Veil, and Vigilance
by any means seems like a wise idea, the times when
a SEN reaches critical condition to make use of
Critical: Tetradefense will be rare. Even if such
a situation does arise, it would generally mean that
your SEN is in a battle where you should be applying
said buffs through SYNs or Feral Links anyway.
Rapid Recovery (8)------: This passive ability reduces the duration of status
ailments by 25%. This sounds more useful than it is
in practice, however. Usually, a status ailment can
either be ignored or it needs to be immediately
removed by items or Esuna. Neither of these
situations benefit from Rapid Recovery. Only use
this passive ability if your SEN cannot benefit from
any of the other suggested passive abilities.
Strength +35% (7)-------: Boosting a SEN's Strength can prove useful for
increasing Feral Link and counterattack damage. Note
that some counterattacks, such as those performed by
all Armadillon SENs, are Magic-based. If you are not
trying to build an offensive SEN, do not use this
passive ability to enhance Entrench and Vendetta, as
SEN A.I. will never use counterattacks against the
more difficult post-game bosses and Coliseum
opponents.
Magic +35% (7)----------: See above.
Role Resonance (7)------: Use this on SENs with powerful Feral Links. This
allows you to defend yourself in the Tortoise
Paradigm, block powerful attacks, and then retaliate
by unleashing an enhanced Feral Link attack. Note
that Role Resonance is not suggested for use with
counterattacks, as it is impractical to stay in the
Tortoise Paradigm long enough to see Entrench or
Vendetta.
Critical: Shield II (6)-: Unlike Critical: Buff passive abilities, you do not
need to reach critical condition with your SEN to
reap Critical: Shield II's benefits. Any SEN can
benefit from this passive ability's damage reduction,
so long as its HP remains in critical condition.
Improved Counter II (6)-: This passive ability boosts the effectiveness of
counterattack abilities by 80%. Unfortunately,
post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents that might
benefit from an offensive SEN force SENs to only
use defensive abilities, like Steelguard, instead.
However, an offensive, counterattack SEN may prove
useful for random encounters.

Monster Materials to Use: Focus on Magic by using All-Mana Materials. Magic
increases buff durations by roughly 1 second for
every 100 Magic. Use the Monster Growth Spreadsheets
to discover when using Potent Materials are just as
beneficial as Mana Materials.
Crystarium Expansions---: Expansion choices are dependent on the desired
purpose of your SYN. If you want your SYN to cast
two -ga spells in a row, increase your SYN's ATB to
6 if possible. If you prefer a mixture of -ga spells
and single-target spells, 5 ATB is considered
optimum. If building a SYN geared toward
single-target spells, decide between 6 ATB (for
faster spell casting) or 4 ATB, devoting any
remaining Crystarium Expansions to Bonus Boosts to
enhance buff duration.
Additional Abilities----: Additional abilities are dependent on the desired
purpose of your SYN. A SYN that knows ever infusable
buff is not necessarily the best SYN for every
situation. Generally, the most important buffs that a
SYN should know are Bravery, Faith, Enfire, Enfrost,
Enthunder, and Enaero. Bravega and Faithga can speed
up the buffing process at the expense of duration.
Vigilance and Vigilaga are also important, although
keep in mind that Vigilance is classified as an
augmentation, while Vigilaga is classified as a
defensive buff. Protect, Shell, and Veil are normally
viewed in a poor light for most post-game bosses and
Coliseum battles, although Gilgamesh and Valfodr
warrant their uses. If you do want your SYN to cast
Protect, Shell, and Veil, consider infusing only
the -ga variants to reduce time. Boon can be taught
by infusing 99 levels worth of SAB monsters into your
SYN.
Primary Passive Abilities:
Auto-Haste (9)----------: SYNs should be the first monsters deployed at the
the beginning of post-game boss and Coliseum battles.
As such, SYNs benefit from Auto-Buff passive
abilities more than any other Role in the game.
Auto-Haste is particularly important, since it cannot
be cast by SYNs. Auto-Haste's benefit can also be</pre><pre id="faqspan-17">
passed along to the rest of the Paradigm Pack for as
long as its Haste lasts.
Magic +35% (7)----------: Every SYN should know this passive ability, because
Magic increases buff duration.
Auto-Faith (7)----------: Auto-Faith increases buff duration by multiplying
a SYNs Magic by 1.75. Auto-Faith's benefit can also
be passed along to the rest of the Paradigm Pack for
as long as its Faith lasts.
Secondary Passive Abilities:
Auto-Tetradefense (9)---: This passive ability combines the advantages of
Auto-Protect, Auto-Shell, Auto-Vigilance and
Auto-Veil into one, saving your SYN precious passive
ability slots for the likes of HP +30%, Resist
Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36%. For SYNs with
multiple Red Locks, Auto-Tetradefense may be the only
way to include the defensive Auto-Buffs, given their
limited space. However, it is important to note that
Auto-Tetradefense only lasts for 30 seconds, while
individual Auto-Buffs last for twice as long. In
addition, Auto-Tetradefense can only be obtained from
Tezcatlipoca, although it also comes with Resist
Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36%, too.
HP +30% (8)-------------: If you have only one slot (or if you have excessive
slots) available for defensive passive abilities,
choose this, as it offers a 30% increase to your
SYN's maximum HP, which aids in its survival.
Auto-Vigilance (8)------: This passive ability serves offensive and defensive
purposes, as it reduces Wound damage and increases
the Cut and Keep values of its target, which helps
prevent interruptions. Since a SYN's primary purpose
is to bestow buffs as quickly as possible, preventing
it from being interrupted is crucial. Note that
Auto-Tetradefense can offer the same advantages at
half the duration. Auto-Vigilance's benefits can also
be passed along to the rest of the Paradigm Pack for
as long as its Vigilance lasts.
Resist Physical +36% (7): If you have two slots available for defensive passive
abilities, use this in conjunction with HP +30%.
While Resist Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are
statistically superior to HP +30% and Resist Physical
+36% for preserving a higher HP percentage and
Adrenaline, post-game bosses and Coliseum opponents
telegraph their most powerful Magic-based attacks,
giving you plenty of time to prepare an adequate
defense. As such, HP +30% and Resist Physical +36%
should prove to be more useful in general, especially
against Gilgamesh. If you have three slots available
for defensive passive abilities, though, use HP +30%,
Resist Physical +36%, and Resist Magic +36%. Keep in
mind that if your SYN naturally halves or resists
physical or magic attacks, the effects of Resist
Physical +36% and Resist Magic +36% are reduced
accordingly. In the case that your SYN only resists
physical attacks but not magic ones (or vice-versa),
you may wish to include only Resist Magic +36% (or
Resist Physical +36%) in an attempt to maintain
balance. These defensive passive abilities can also
be used in conjunction with Auto-Tetradefense for
maximum protection.
Resist Magic +36% (7)---: See above.
Auto-Bravery (7)--------: While Bravery offers no particular advantage to SYNs,
It is one of the most important buffs in the game.
SYNs normally prioritize defensive buffs before
offensive ones, so it takes time before Bravery is
cast. Auto-Bravery can expedite the process. Its
benefits can also be passed along to the rest of the
Paradigm Pack for as long as its Bravery lasts.
Auto-Protect (7)--------: This passive ability, coupled with Auto-Shell, allows
augment-focused SYNs the defensive passive abilities
that they would normally be unable to cast
themselves. For SYNs that only know the single-target
Protect and Shell spells, these passive abilities
help hasten their buffing process, as they will not
have to spend time casting Protect and Shell on
themselves, cutting wasted time by 33%. Note that
Auto-Tetradefense can offer the same advantages at
half the duration. Auto-Protect and Auto-Shell's
benefits can also be passed on to the rest of the
Paradigm Pack for as long as Protect and Shell last.
Auto-Shell (7)----------: See above.
First Strike (6)--------: The faster that SYNs can bestow buffs, the faster
the party can benefit from them. First Strike fully
charges a SYN's ATB Gauge prior to battle, saving
time and giving Serah and Noel the opportunity to
focus on other responsibilities at the beginning of
a battle. This passive ability is especially
important for SYNs who rely solely on Auto-Buffs, as
they may have the chance to cast a buff or two on
the party before you have the chance to switch them
out. However, some SYNs require time to position
themselves before casting, negating the advantages of
First Strike altogether. Observe your SYN's behavior
under different circumstances to see how well First
Strike would help it.
Feral Speed II (6)------: While SYNs do not spend as much time in combat as
COMs or RAVs, Feral Speed II still helps recharge
the Feral Link Gauges of the rest of the Paradigm
Pack. Consider this passive ability, especially if
your SYN has a particularly useful Feral Link.
Tertiary Passive Abilities:
Resist Elements +30% (9): This passive ability is generally recommended if your
SYN possesses an elemental weakness. It could also
be used as an additional source of defense if your
SYN has passive ability slots to spare.
Resilience +40% (8)-----: This bestows a 40% chance to resist all status
ailments. However, two of the three most dangerous
status ailments, Pain and Fog, are better mitigated
by Resist Pain +66% and Resist Fog +66%. The
third, Daze, requires Veil support and innate defense
against Daze working in conjunction with Resilience
+40% to provide reliable Daze resistance. The
remaining status ailments are not as dangerous in
post-game and can be quickly removed by items or SYN
buffs if necessary. As such, Resilience +40%'s value
for post-game content is diminished.
Auto-Veil (7)-----------: While this passive ability could round out the
moveset of any SYN with Auto-Protect, Auto-Shell, and
Auto-Vigilance, it is generally considered the least
important buff available. Note that Auto-Tetradefense
can offer the same advantages at half the duration.
Auto-Veil's benefits can also be passed along to the
rest of the Paradigm Pack for as long as its Veil
lasts.
Defense Maintenance (5)-: This passive ability increases the duration of
defensive buffs (Protect, Protectga, Shell, Shellga,
Veil, Veilga, and Vigilaga) by 40%. While its
benefits may seem significant, defensive buffs have
naturally respectable durations, so, depending on the
situation, it might not be necessary to extend them
further. Note that Defense Maintenance only affects
defensive buffs that are cast by your SYN - it does
not increase the duration of defensive Auto-Buffs.
