Details

Moveset

Taharka uses single and multi-hit variants of Blizzaga. Taharka also uses Curl which greatly increases its defenses. Chop and Ram are Taharka's physical attacks.

Strategy

Taharka will mostly use Blizzaga on your whole team, so equipping Ice nullifying equipment will help greatly. Making Taharka fall asleep is also possible, leaving it open to taking massive damage from magic attacks without waking up.

Cheese Strategy

Taharka is vulnerable to Heat. The Heat status makes the target die after performing an action. Quina can inflict Heat using the Mustard Bomb ability and it can be used against Taharka for an easy win.
