Tips[]

• See testimonials and discussions.
• Focus on buffing since stats cannot be broken.
• Gear your magic tank for 150% (innate + buffs) fire and wind resistance.
• Bring protection for blind, silence and petrify.
• Bring a source of MP recovery, as Tetra Sylphid will use ST Mp drain on thresholds.
• Tetra Sylphid will snort the highest MAG unit at 40% threshold. This can be provoked, but Tetra Sylphid's physical attacks will start killing your units on the next turn.
• To get the "kill with magic" achievement,
  • Dispel Tetra Sylphid's reflect (e.g. using Dispel, Fingersnap, Bushido - Freedom)
  • Use a spell with an ignore spr component (e.g. Holy, Ultima, Alterna)
  • Use level 8 or above spells (e.g. Quake, Flood)
