Neo Shinryu

Neo Shinryu is one of the new superbosses created for the bonus dungeon in ''Final Fantasy V Advance.

Neo Shinryu starts off with Mighty Guard, which can be Dispelled. After that, he will use Ice Storm, Tidal Wave, Curse (sets several negative status effects), Lightning, Breath Wing (the last two of which remove 25% of everyone's max HP), Earthquake, Blaze, Poison Breath (sets Poison), Zombie Powder (sets Zombie), White Hole (sets Death and Petrify), Doom, and Almagest. Almagest is Holy-elemental, meaning you'll be hard-pressed to find something that can nullify it. The Force Shield dropped by Omega Mk.II works, as does an occasional Aegis Shield block (33% chance).

Once he is killed, he will doublecast Giga Flare and Meteor on the party, which may still kill them. It is suggested to have a person with !Hide so as to survive this last kamikaze attack.

Neo Shinryu has two hidden targets, responsible for his so-called "high miss rate". These absorb multi-target attacks as well as !Rapid Fire, and cannot be killed. That means you should use single target attacks instead, preferably magical in nature. Lv3 Flare always hits if you've increased his level to a number divisible by three, preferably Lv127 (mix Sampson's Might and Dragon Power on him, once each) and deals high damage for a low MP cost. Single target magic attacks without a hit rate (Firaga/Blizzaga/Thundaga/Flare etc.) will hit regardless, as long as they are not multi-targeted.

Also note that despite what the Bestiary says, Neo Shinryu is vulnerable to Old, though it may take a few tries before it hits.
