Shantotto only uses tier 1 spells; however, she possesses extremely high Elemental Magic Damage+. This Elemental Magic Damage+ only affects spells, unlike the Magic Damage (Statistic) which would affect Weapon Skill and Skillchain Damage. Elemental Magic Damage+ varies by level: +784 at ilvl 120 (total of +979 with the standard Magic Damage+195 that caster trusts receive at ilvl) Magic Attack Bonus is the standard amount: BLM Trait value, with an additional +25 at ilvl which may require Rhapsody in Fuchsia for total of +65. Shantotto's tier 1 magic spells are comparable in power to spells appropriate to her actual level. As a result of only using tier 1 magic she will almost never run out of MP regardless of the duration of a battle. Shantotto will magic burst any skillchains, and she often double bursts for massive damage in a very short period of time. Due to all of these factors Shantotto is widely regarded as the absolute best trust available for magic damage and magic bursting. However, she has relatively low HP and defenses making her very fragile and susceptible to dying from enemy AoE attacks. When aiming for magic burst and casting normally, avoids casting spells based on enemy resistances but doesn't accurately target weaknesses if multiple elements meet a certain magic accuracy threshold. Shantotto will hold up to 2500 TP to close skillchains. Lesson in Pain - Damage and Magic Evasion Down. Empirical Research - Damage and 25 Magic Defense Down. Final Exam - Damage. Doctor's Orders - Damage.
