Boris is a fiend in Final Fantasy X-2. He is first fought in Chapter 1 as a boss guarding the Black Mage dressphere atop the Floating Ruins on Mt. Gagazet. Later, when access to the Floating Ruins is unlocked in Chapter 3, he may appear as an ordinary rare enemy anywhere in the ruins.

Battle
For the first encounter, Boris is fairly strong, as he can inflict around 50 damage per strike. His Sticky End attack can inflict the Stop status on the party.
Strategy
It is best to have two party members in attacking-type dresspheres (such as the Gunner and Warrior) and the third as a Songstress who should continually use Darkness Dance. If a Warrior knows the abilities Flametongue or Liquid Steel, those could also be used.
In Chapter 3 and later, Boris has become obsolete and usually dies from the first attack.
