Charming Trio  

Battle Notes

In order to enter the battlefield you will need to bring a Cloudy Orb, which is obtained by trading 20 Beastmen's Seals to Shami in Port Jeuno. When you are ready, trade the Cloudy Orb to the Burning Circle inside Balga's Dais and choose to enter the battle Charming Trio.

Up to 3 people may enter and you will all receive a level 20 restriction. You have 15 minutes to win. You will fight 3 NM Leeches named Prune, Phoedme, and Pepper. Once you kill them all, a chest will appear and you will receive an assortment of rewards.

• All have the Leech special attacks.

• Can cast the magic spells Drain I and Aspir.

• Each leech has a special TP move. Pepper uses Absorbing Kiss (Attribute Drain), Prune uses Random Kiss (can be either HP, TP, or MP Drain), and Phoedme uses Deep Kiss (Status Effect Drain).

Strategies

• It is recommended that Pepper be killed first, then Prune, then Phoedme.

• Each party member should either be able to solo a leech or kite one.

• BLU is excellent in this fight. Set Head Butt, Sprout Smack (for Slow effect), Pollen, Cocoon, auto-regen combo, and Bludgeon. If you are going as 3 BLUs, have one go as BLU/WHM to cast Protectra I.

• DRG/WHM, RDM/WHM, NIN/WAR has been successful. RDM binds one leech, and enfeebles a second one while kiting it. DRG and NIN kill third leech, before moving onto the bound one, then the one being kited.

• 3 SMNs succeeded by using Astral Flow and Shiva's Diamond Dust.
