Aminon

General Notes All four Ra'Kaznar Fragments are required to access the battlefield. Enter the batlefieldby by using the Diaphanous Gadget #? in Sector E. Located up the ramp to the west of the 12 Flan room. If anyone in your party has a stage 4 Prime Weapon then a second option will appear when selecting the battlefield. Normal mode: Select "Forward!": Mesosiderite will not drop. Hard mode: Select "To the deepest dark!": Mesosiderite has a chance to drop only for players on stage 4. Warning: Aminon will be locked in hard mode for the rest of the run so make sure you select the right one. Always opens the fight with Incessant Void a few moments after aggro/pull. Usually after 2 melee rounds or so. Changes element based on TP move used. Demonfire  : counter with water damage. Torrential Pain  : counter with thunder damage. Frozen Blood  : counter with fire damage. Ensepulcher  : counter with wind damage. Ceaseless Surge  : counter with earth damage. Blast of Reticence  : counter with ice damage. Countering with any appropriate magic damage will proc . Even casting Elemental Magic from a subjob will do the job, and the magic does not have to do more than 0 points of damage. Countering with the appropriate magic damage type five times in a row will proc and remove active fetters. Aminon Gains -5% Damage Taken for each 30 seconds of time it remains unprocced after using a TP move. E.g. Demonfire is used and it will gain -5% DT for every 30 seconds that pass if not procced with a water spell or skillchain before changing elements. It will then retain the -% DT . The proc does not reset any existing DT accumulated, and only prevents further build. If Aminon stays in the same mode for too long without using another TP move then the Resistance Rank will fall to 5%. Bane of Tartarus will be used every 4 minutes from the start of battle again once every 4 minutes. Generally KOing all in range, (~20'+?). Bane of Tartarus' Death effect can be resisted with Resist Death gear. Procing will delay the timer on this move. Unlike Setting the Stage, Bane of Tartarus may be stopped by Elemental Sforzo but will still fully dispel and weaken. Perfect Defense and Mana Wall are also effective. Valiance and other effects that reduce magic damage taken will reduce the damage taken by Bane of Tartarus. Possessing a Ra'Kaznar Seal will reduce the power of Banes of Tartarus. It may be possible to reduce the damage enough through DT, various magic related buffs and defbuffs (Geo-Fade, etc), and the Seal to survive with Scherzo/Migiwari/Earthen Armor, but testing is needed. In the event of a full wipe and recovery the timer does not stop. After three minutes have passed idle, the first move used by Aminon will be Bane of Tartarus. Bane of Tartarus must hit a target before the timer resets. You may not bind and run away while the timer passes. Bane of Tartarus can also be triggered by healing Aminon with the corresponding Elemental Magic or Skillchain damage to the last TP move used. In the event of a full wipe, the DT accumulated on Aminon will not be reset, even after leaving the battle area and returning. Aminon has a resistance ranking of 5% for any element that isn't corresponding to it's last TP move (Light, Dark, etc), a ranking of 150% for the corresponding element (Fire after Demonfire, etc), and 70% rank to it's current elemental weakness.
