they are extremely susceptible to status magic...blind paralyze and slow are very effective. if you have any amount of evasion bonus, they will barely hit you. if youre unlucky enough to get the explosion, you may live if you have over 700 HP. their Bio move is very potent but doesnt last very long. i fight these at 64 at the moment with my Pup lol. easy ash....to make materials for bullets.
These things instantly gain 100% TP when you cast a spell that matches the same element of the current day. It won't fire off a TP move immediately due to the fact that mobs do a random TP check, but they do gain 100% instantly. In the past, Djinns would only use Nocturnal Combustion as a TP move. This "glitch" made it possible for players to force the mob blow up and get easy exp with little effort.
