Earth Dragon (Final Fantasy VI)

The Dirt Dragon is a boss in the game Final Fantasy VI. It is one of the Eight dragons, and its element is Earth. It attacks using earth-Elemental attacks, such as Quake, Magnitude8, and Slide. These are powerful attacks. Since its special, Horned Tusk, does massive physical damage as well, Gaia Gears are out for this fight. Instead, it is recommended to equip Cherub Downs for Float status. This will also prompt Dirt Dragon to waste turns casting 50 Gs and fail. Or, players can equip Gaia Gear, but bring Shadow to the fight and have him Throw Shadow Edges for Image status, which will take care of Horned Tusk. Also, summoning Fenrir works well. Summoning Phantom can help, but just be advised that the Dirt Dragon can remove Clear status easily. As for offense, Shadow should throw Blossoms and Tridents, and Mog should equip his DragoonBoogs and Trident, and use Jump. If Mog equips a Cherub Down and a Snow Muffler, Dirt Dragon cannot harm him when he is in the Back Row. Gau can use this setup, similary, but he does not need the Cherub Down so long as he has a Rage that absorbs Earth, so he can use that Relic Slot for something offensive such as a Hero Ring.
