Water (Final Fantasy XII element)

Water is an element in Final Fantasy XII. It is opposed to Fire. Water damage is halved in any windy weather (windy weather amplifies Fire damage), even in heavy rain/storm; rainy weather does not boost Water damage at all, instead amplifying Lightning. Water damage is boosted by 20% in foggy weather and in watery terrain, like Nabreus Deadlands and Garamsythe Waterway.

Abilities[]

Esper ability	Briny Cannonade & Tsunami (Famfrit)
Item	Aquara Mote (Water Mote)
Spell	Aqua (Water) (Black Magicks & Shades of Black)
Weapon	Aqua Shot, Arc Scale, Iga Blade, Miter, Murasame, Water Bombs

In addition, the Six-fluted Pole, Cloud Staff, and Fumarole increase the power of the wearer's Water-elemental abilities by 50%.

The Water-affected gambits are "Foe: water-weak" and "Foe: water-vulnerable"; the latter triggers against any foe that does not outright absorb the element, even if the foe is immune to Water. In the original PlayStation 2 version, these gambits are only available to purchase from gambit shops after the party obtains the Treaty-Blade, "water-weak" costing 500 gil and "water-vulnerable" costing 250 gil. In the Zodiac versions, these gambits only cost 70 gil and are available to buy ever since the party escapes the Nalbina Dungeons.
