Explanation of Important Icons

Fixed Damage

Attacks with fixed damage deal an exact amount of damage and will not be reduced by Defense nor Magic Defense, such as Cactuar's 1,000 Needles attack, which deals exactly 1,000 damage.

Proportional Damage

Attacks that deal proportional damage or gravity-based damage also ignores defense and magic defense as the damage dealt by these attacks are calculated based on the target's current HP.

The Orb of Gravity item obtainable and usable by the player reduces the HP of all enemies hit by 25%. This type of damage is very useful against enemies with enormous health pool. Take note that stronger enemies like bosses and mini-bosses are immune to this type of damage.

Vulnerable to Silence

When viewing an enemy intel during battle, always check if the spells of the enemy have this icon beside them. This means that if you cast Silence on that enemy, it will not be able use these spells during the duration of the debuff. Make use of Binding Materia's Silence against their spells to make fights a lot easier.
