Bestiary Entry

 * Genus: Esper
 * Classification: The Darkening Cloud

Battle
Famfrit is fought alongside with Dr. Cid, who is immune to everything when Famfrit is summoned. The first move is to dispel Famfrit's buffs. Hopefully, Reddas is targeting Famfrit, and not Dr. Cid. Famfrit mostly attacks with magick, so Shell is useful. Famfrit's standard attack, Briny Cannonade, deals Water damage on one character, and his special attack, Waterja, deals Water damage to characters in range and has a chance of inflicting Silence.

Dr. Cid will buff Famfrit from time to time. He can also use his S-85 Cyclotrone and Gatling Gun while fighting Famfrit, although it is easily dodged by going behind him. After defeating Famfrit, Dr. Cid's paling will fall, and he can be easily beaten.

Famfrit's vulnerability to Oil can be abused with Fire-elemental weaponry like the Gungnir, or a Fomalhaut with Wyrmfire Shot. One should also consider summoning the Esper Belias for an Esper vs. Esper battle, since Belias's Fire attacks can do massive damage against Famfrit.

Trivia

 * Famfrit is the only Esper ever referred to by name in Final Fantasy XII. Dr. Cid calls it by name when he summons it.
 * Famfrit is the only Esper to be summoned by a character outside of the player's party to assist them in battle.
 * While it is generally accepted that Exodus is the Esper based on Exdeath, Famfrit's armor color and structure also resemble Exdeath's to a degree.
