Warder of Courage

General Notes Gains a PDT/MDT bonus as its HP decreases until eventually reaching a cap of -50% DT. Uses various SP Abilities from all jobs before the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion pack. There appears to be no select pattern to the SP abilities Warder of Courage seems to favor except for during Bracelets Mode. Enters ' Bracelets Mode ' when HP falls between roughly 50-59%. During this mode its stats increase and begins randomly using SP Abilties in certain combinations: Invincible → Benediction → Mijin Gakure Chainspell → Manafont Blood Weapon → Mighty Strikes → Hundred Fists Call Wyvern → Soul Voice → Mijin Gakure All Wynavs will also use Soul Voice, see below. All Wynavs will also simultaneously use Mijin Gakure. Call Wyvern → Familiar → Astral Flow All Wynavs will immediately and simultaneously use a breath attack after Familiar. All Wynavs will also simultaneously use Astral Flow. Meikyo Shisui → Eagle Eye Shot Will repetitively use Eagle Eye Shot over and over again. Special Abilities may be reused again. There is no limit to the number of times any of them may be used. Warder of Courage's power to use a certain SP Ability can be disabled by using elemental magic of various spells 1-2 seconds after the SP Ability animation goes off. Spamming T1 Elemental Magic is effective at potentially locking abilities. Each SP ability can be prevented with the use of elemental damage, this can prevent any luck based in this fight: Wind damage will prevent the following SPs: Call Wyvern, Invincible, Benediction, Manafont and Hundred Fists Water damage will prevent the following SPs: Meikyo Shisui and Mijin Gakure Fire damage will prevent the following SPs: Chainspell Ice damage will prevent the following SPs: Perfect Dodge, Mighty Strikes, Blood Weapon and Soul Voice Call Wyvern - Unlike most NM in Escha areas the pets (Wynavs) summoned by Warder of Courage with Call Wyvern will target the person highest on the alliance's enmity list. Therefore it does not matter who uses a Primal nazar to spawn Warder of Courage. Warder's Wynav's will cast spells based on the day. E.g. banishga on lightsday or sleepga spam on darksday. Soul Voice - Begins using Maiden's Virelai to charm its current target. This will result in enmity becoming unstable and a wipe becoming very probable if people are not ready for it. There are two ways to negate Soul Voice. The use of a Charm Buffer. Having a Red Mage use Stymie Elemental Seal Silence immediately at the very moment when Soul Voice goes off. Fealty will fail to stop charm from Virelai. Tenebrae x3 with Pflug and a charm resist set will also fail to stop Virelai. RUN SP abilities have no effect on Virelai. Soul Voice lasts for three minutes unless Warder of Courage moves to a new Special Ability. Continue damage in order to encourage this. Benediction - Fully restores Warder of Courage's HP and removes all status ailments. There is no real counter to Benediction other than to try lock Invincible so Warder of Courage does not even get the chance to use it. However, this is largely luck-based. While idle, all DoTs are immediately be removed from Warder of Courage making a "zombie" recovery difficult and perhaps impossible for most setups. See the Discussion page for published testimonials.
