Focus on Defeating One White Mousse at a Time Pressure with Elemental Spells Switch Between Elements when Using Spells

Focus on Defeating One White Mousse at a Time

The White Mousse are resistant to physical damage which makes them potentially tough. Focus on defeating one White Mousse first to decrease disruptions and possible damage taken later on.

Pressure with Elemental Spells

White Mousse can easily be pressured with any elemental attacks such as Fire or Blizzard. So equip materia that provide elemental attacks and save your ATB to cast the elemental spells.

Switch Between Elements when Using Spells

After getting hit with an elemental attack, the White Mousse will build up a resistance to that particular element, making succeeding attacks of the same element weaker.

If you fail to stagger or kill a White Mousse after pressuring with an elemental attack, use a spell of a different element to pressure it again.
