???
Description
???? is a Blue Magic spell in Final Fantasy V. It deals non-elemental fixed damage to a target based on the caster's maximum HP minus their current HP. This means it deals more damage based on how much HP the caster is missing.
The ability can also be used by catching and releasing a Reflect Mage or a Tunneller during a fight with a Zephyrus.
Obtained[]
The earliest ???? can be obtained is from Wild Nakk in forests near Karnak
???? can later be obtained from Azulmagia, Kuza Beast, Tyrannosaur, Behemoth, Archeodemon, Gel Fish, King Behemoth, Mecha Head, Numb Blade, and Tunneller (Zephyrus). Gel Fish, King Behemoth, Mecha Head, Numb Blade, and Tunneler will not use the ability normally, meaning Control is needed; Gel Fish and Numb Blade also require an Ether to use the ability.
Use[]
???? is a cheap ability that can be used when the user's HP is low. The party's damage will always scale up to be much larger than their HP, meaning that ????'s damage will eventually drop off in comparison to more powerful physical attacks. However, early on, ???? can deal effective damage in defeating larger enemies. The more HP the user has, the more damage they can do; Monks have the best HP and learn HP +30% as a support ability when mastered. As ???? is fixed damage, it still works on enemies that are otherwise highly resistant to damage.
???? is somewhat similar to Vampire in that both work on the caster's HP. The difference is that Vampire heals the caster but does half damage. Vampire should be used in longer fights to heal up, whereas ???? can be used to end fights.
