Talk:Hanbi

From FFXI Wiki

Strategy: Have your tank hit Hanbi while DD deal with ads. Once ads are dead DD focus on killing Hanbi. Rinse and repeat!

Notes on the fight:

  • Has a few different normal attacks
    • Hand smash into the ground = point blank AOE around him, inflicts Stun, wipes all shadows
    • Punch combo = physical damage, inflicts Bind, absorbed by shadows
  • Casts Dark Knight spells including Absorb-Att, Absorb-TP, tier IV single target elemental spells, Impact, and most notably, Dread Spikes
    • You can absorb all the single target spells, including Impact, with shadows, so you can watch for them and react to them if you have the fast cast for it
    • Dispellable as BLU using Blank Gaze, so make sure to watch for and react to it
  • Adds are demon type enemies, and appear to be susceptible to dark based sleeps
    • As BLU, a Dream Flower worked 95% of the time, which allowed me to ignore them
    • Aquaveil, Carcharian Verve, or a good spell interrupt set helps to land it between the multiple hits
  • Unconfirmed, but appeared to take more damage when you use a TP move when he is readying one of his
    • My CDC's would normally hit for 15-30k, but I had some spike up to 50-60k for seemingly no reason except for they coincided with his TP moves
  • Soloed with trusts: Qultada, Joachim, Koru Moru, Ygnas, Yoran Oran (mostly just wanted 2 WHM's just in case)
  • Never had to turtle, stayed in TP set the whole time, and even swapped into some TH gear without issue
  • Fights were usually 1-2 minutes on a decent geared, Almace-Colada using BLU, but can go longer if he prefers to constantly use hand smash into the ground attacks to keep stunning you
