Hein (Final Fantasy III)

Hein is a boss in Final Fantasy III. He can change his elemental weakness between Ice, Lightning and Fire with Wall Change.

Story
Hein was a trusted wizard of the king of Castle Argus, which governed a large region of the Floating Contient. Eventually, the mage succumbed to darkness' call and cast a spell over the Elder Tree, causing it to float over the desert south of Castle Argus, and christened it Hein's Castle. Hein then bewitched all of the castle's inhabitants and imprisoned them in his new fortress, where he terrorized the neighboring town of Tokkul. Luneth and his friends were captured during one raid on Tokkul and were brought to the living castle. They managed to overcome the guards and monsters within the castle and ascended the decaying tree to face Hein, to showed no remorse for his actions. The Warriors of light defeated the crazed mage, and the Elder Tree returned to its true form. Before replanting itself it the forest from whence it came, the tree restored the royal family and guards of Argus to their rightful place at the throne.

Strategy
Hein will change his weakness with Barrier Shift, so use the Scholar's scan ability to see what it is. When you know what his weakness is, abuse it. Geomancy works rather well against him. Physical attackers are worth absolutely nothing in this fight. He may cast Confuse, Poison, Sleep. After 5 hits of geomancy and a good hit of an attack item you'll win.
