Raph List of Attacks

Aside from its regular attack, Raph has three special skills. It will also occasionally perform two attacks instead of one.

Use Accuracy Lowering Skills

Of Raph's three skills, two are damaging physical attacks that hit multiple targets. By lowering Raph's accuracy with skills like Dazzleflash and Sandstorm, you can nullify most of the damage dealt to your monsters.

Monsters that Learn Dazzleflash

Vegandragora	Komodo	Leery Lout
Sizz Afficionado	Defender

Dazzleflash can be learned under the talents Sizz Afficionado and Defender. Under Defender, you can also learn Kabuff, a skill that increases the defense of all allies, so consider learning it if you're having difficulty in the battle.

Monsters that Learn Sandstorm

Wing Slime	Platypunk	Bunicorn
Blusterer	Naturalist

Carry a Monster with Recovery Skills

Raph's damaging skills are dangerous, especially when it uses them twice. Make sure to have a dedicated healer to avoid being wiped out.

Monsters that Learn Midheal

Healer	Aquapothecary
