Jump to a Section


Attack Behavior

Normal State Speed
Electric Charge Technical

Feral Tobi-Kadachi has 2 states which are its Normal and Electric Charge.

Normal State

Turn Count Move
Turn 1 Speed Attack
Turn 2
Will transition to Electric Charge state at turn end after using Kadachi Windmill
Speed Attack or Kadachi Windmill (AoE Skill)
Will use Kadachi Windmill after going back from Electric Charge state
Turn 3
Will transition to Electric Charge state at turn end after using Kadachi Windmill
Kadachi Windmill (AoE Skill)

In this state, Feral Tobi-Kadachi has its blightstone tail glowing making it inadvisable to hit it. It also uses Speed attacks to initiate head-to-heads so make sure to counter it with a Technical attack. After 2 turns, it will try to use Kadachi Windmill which is a skippable AoE so either take the damage or use disrupting skills or status ailments to skip it.

First, it will switch to Electric Charge state after 2 turns but after going back from it, Feral Tobi-Kadachi will only take 1 turn before it starts to use Kadachi Windmill again.

Electric Charge State

Turn Count Move
Turn 1 Airborne Drop (Technical Attack)
Turn 2 Feral Vacuum Blast (AoE Skill)
Turn 3 Airborne Drop (Technical Attack)
Turn 4
Will transition to Normal state at turn end
Feral Vacuum Blast (AoE Skill)

For the Electric Charge state, it will lose its blightstone tail glow and will begin emitting electric discharge. Attacks in this state will consist of Technical attacks so make sure to counter it with a Power attack.

Every even turn, it will try to use a skippable AoE move that will inflict bleeding to your party so make sure to bolster your defense or use a kinship, trap, status ailment or topple to stop it from using said skill. After 4 turns, it will automatically switch back to the normal state.

Recommended Monsties for Feral Tobi-Kadachi

Ratha iconRatha Boltreaver Astalos iconBoltreaver Astalos

The best monstie for this fight is Ratha and Boltreaver Astalos. Ratha is your default monstie and you cannot remove it but in this fight it has access to poison and fire skills making it a great choice for it. Boltreaver Astalos can inflict paralysis and has high attack and at this point of the game, this is your best Technical attack type monstie.

Level Up to at Least Level 20

In this fight, Feral Tobi-Kadachi is at level 20. If you can resist thunder attacks, it is enough to fight it at levels 15-20 so that you can survive its attacks then heal it back.

EXP Guide: How to Level Up Fast

Use Fire Weapons and Thunder Resist Armor

Feral Tobi-Kadachi is weak to fire while dealing thunder attacks. Make sure to bring fire monsties, weapons and thunder resist armor such as the Gypceros Armor made from materials dropped by a Gypceros.

List of All Weapons

Invite Kora or Eleanor as a Battle Ally

Given that Feral Tobi-Kadachi is weak to fire, Kora and Eleanor are your best bet. Choose Kora if you are much lower level than the enemy as she can redirect attacks to herself giving you some turns to apply buffs and heal while Eleanor can deal high single-target fire damage which can end the fight quickly but with much higher risk due to her not having any access to buffs or healing.

Best Battle Allies

Aim to Inflict Poison or Darkness

If you have a monstie that can inflict poison or darkness, try inflicting it on Feral Tobi-Kadachi as it is vulnerable to those status ailments. This will help you deal damage every turn and has a higher chance to evade its attacks when applied.

Use A Hunting Horn With Soothing Song

In this stage of the game, monsters will attack you relentlessly but not for your entire health. Feral Tobi-Kadachi's attack patterns suggests that it will give you one turn to freely counter its attacks providing you time to heal. Use a Hunting Horn, especially Magia Charm, with a Soothing Song skill to replenish your health.

List of All Hunting Horns

Try to Destroy The Tail

Feral Tobi-Kadachi's blightstone point is its tail. If the fight is taking long, aim to destroy its tail only during its Electric Charge state so that it will not backlash at you when you hit it. Use hammers to deal heavy damage to the tail so that it will use a weaker version of its Feral attack once destroyed.
