Tips

• See testimonials and discussions.
• Golem's cover can be dispelled, and physical attacks with a DEF ignore component will bypass his cover.
• Against Dark Shiva's attacks bring ice and dark resistance for the party. Bring party-wide silence resistance as needed, and charm resistance against the ST attack.
• Against Dark Golem's attacks bring earth resistance for the party. Bring sleep, confuse, and stop resistance for the party.
• Dark Shiva's attacks are mostly magic damage, though her phys AoE Shooting Hail will occur every turn below 50% HP.
• When passing multiple thresholds, each dark esper's threshold attacks will be triggered on the proceeding turns. e.g. If Dark Golem is damaged to <40% HP from 81% HP, then for the next 3 turns it will use Fragmental Rock.
