Special Features
  • Possesses HP+20%, MP+50%
  • Ark Angel Tarutaru uses Last Resort and Souleater whenever the recast is ready and tries to keep up Poison and Bio fulltime on the enemy.
  • At the start of the fight and each time after using Amon Drive, he casts Sleepga, augmented by Elemental Seal if the recast is ready.
  • He only uses elemental spells to magic burst skillchains, often trying to burst two spells on the same skillchain (the second burst failing most of the time due to high casting times).
  • Aspir is used to burst Compression-skillchains and also casted freely when his MP is below 50%, but are only used against enemies which have MP.
  • Will also Sleep/Sleep II single target enemies.
  • Casts Stun based on enemy TP moves.
  • Uses weapon skills at 2000 TP and does not try to skillchain.
  • Avoids casting spells that would be resisted.
  • Does not magic burst targets where he doesn't have enough magic accuracy.
Trust Synergy
  • ArkEV / ArkHM / ArkMR / ArkGK / ArkTT: When all 5 Ark Angels are summoned, they possess a Magic Evasion bonus (see: Resist).
