Weaknesses | ||
---|---|---|
None, but Magic attacks can go a long way |
Surt does not have any elemental weakness, however, using Magic attacks is useful for dealing damage.
Attacks | Fire, Phys |
---|---|
Absorb | Fire |
Void | Light, Dark, Ailments |
Resist | Phys |
Support/Passive | Dekunda, Retaliate, Beast Eye |
Surt utilizes both single-target and multi-target Fire and Phys attacks. We highly recommend bringing along demons that can block these types of attacks.
Surt absorbs Fire and voids Light, Dark, and Ailment skills, so never use these types of attacks as you'll only be wasting your turn. Likewise, it resists Phys but is not highly resistant to this type of attack, however, we do not recommend using Phys as Surt has Retaliate.
Surt also has two Support skills including Dekunda and Beast Eye which grants it two extra turns.
After going through the tricks and mazes in the hallways spells more trouble as you face Mada next.
