Battle

Buels are weak to physical attacks, and magic attacks do little damage. They rely on magic themselves and are good for farming Thunder magic early in the game. At higher levels Buels gain access to Reflect and Death, and might cast the later as a dying attack. They can be inflicted with Silence or Berserk to prevent their use of magic.

Buels from the Fire Cavern can be a good source of AP early on for a low level game due to the low amount of EXP they give.

Triple Triad

Main article: Buel (card)

Buel is a Level 2 Monster Card for Triple Triad used for playing the minigame and for turning into Magic Stone. It is not a notable card for farming purposes.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]In the 16th-century grimoire known as Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, Buer is described as the president of Hell, with fifty legions of demons at his disposal.

Incidentally, all enemies in the Final Fantasy series named after Buer in future titles do not resemble this depiction in the slightest; this monster, with its beast-like head surrounded by rotating limbs, is the only one that comes close.
