Delta ForceFFV

Delta Attack in Final Fantasy V.

Death approaches!

Exdeath using Delta Attack in Dissidia Final Fantasy

Delta Attack (デルタアタック, Deruta Atakku?), also known as Delta Hit and Triangle Attack (トライアングルアタック, Toraianguru Atakku?), is a powerful recurring attack which requires the presence of all three users. It is commonly cast by the Magus Sisters and Movers and it often has devastating effects on the target.

Appearances

Final Fantasy IV

Delta Attack is an enemy ability used by the Magus Sisters. When used, Sandy casts Reflect on Cindy who attacks a target, and Mindy then casts an offensive spell on Cindy, which bounces off and hits the player party. The sisters' version of the Delta Attack is not really a programmed attack skill, but rather a strategy. It can be avoided by silencing Sandy.

Final Fantasy V

Delta Attack is an enemy ability used by Phobos, Nereid, and Triton, three of Exdeath's lackeys, when one of them is defeated and revived before the player has a chance of killing one of the others. It inflicts low to mediocre non-elemental damage to one character with a chance of inflicting Petrify. Omega also uses Delta Attack, which does more damage, but can be reflected. The Mover enemy located in the final dungeon can also use Delta Attack. If the player catches it, Delta Attack will be used upon the enemy's release.

Neo Exdeath uses Delta Attack during the final battle, and reflecting it will instantly destroy one of Neo Exdeath's four sections, regardless of where it hits; this can be done once per battle. Enuo, Omega Mk.II, and Neo Shinryu all can use this attack in the Advance and later remakes.

Final Fantasy VI

Delta Attack (also called Delta Hit) is an enemy ability used by the Dream Stooges Laragorn, Curlax, and Moebius. It has a possibility of petrifying the character it hits, and it cost 20 MP for the enemy to use. Omega Weapon and Inferno can also use the attack.

Final Fantasy VII

Triangle Attack is an enemy ability used by the Movers, it deals moderate non-elemental damage to one party member.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-

Delta Attack is an enemy ability used by Movers. It deals HP Critical damage to Zack.

Final Fantasy IX

Movers in Terra will cast Delta Attack when three are alive at the same time. It only uses Delta Attack as a counterattack when all three Movers are hovering and inflicts Instant Death to the character that attacked them.

Final Fantasy X

Delta Attack is the Magus Sisters' Overdrive and the strongest aeon Overdrive, and has the longest animation sequence. It is a non-elemental attack, which breaks the damage limit by default; however, the attack is hindered by the enemy's defense, so inflicting Armor Break beforehand is useful. In the International and HD Remaster versions, it deals 6 attacks rather than just 1.

When the Magus Sisters and the Dark Magus Sisters are fought, they can use their Delta Attack Overdrive on the player. When used by the Dark Magus Sisters every hit deals 99,999 damage and it nulls Auto-Life.

Final Fantasy X-2

Delta Attack is the Overdrive that the Magus Sisters use when fought in the Farplane. It reduces the party's HP to 1 and MP to 0.

Final Fantasy XIV

Delta Attack is used by the moogles in the trial "Thornmarch (Extreme)" on command of Good King Mogglemog XII. Three of the moogles will move into position to release a triangular attack in the center of battle arena that inflicts heavy damage to anyone inside. Players should avoid the center to keep from getting caught in the attack.

Omega performs an attack similar in animation to Delta Attack when fighting Shinryu during the penultimate quest of The Far of Edge of Fate quest line.

In the Savage difficulty version of Deltascape V4.0, Neo Exdeath will unleash Delta Attack upon the party; forcing the party to dodge Blizzard III attacks and spread to avoid overlapping Fire III attacks all while the tanks are enduring powerful Thunder III tank busters.

In Alphascape V3.0, Omega unleashes Delta Attack upon the party as its ultimate attack, dealing colossal damage requiring heavy mitigation. In the Savage difficulty version the party must use a tank's Limit Break 3 to survive. The healers must restore the party to full health, as Delta Attack will petrify any players not fully healed.

Final Fantasy XV

While enemy abilities are not explicitly named, necromancers and psychomancers use an ability similar to Delta Attack, with the three flames floating around them forming a triangle and firing a beam at the party that deals heavy damage and inflicts petrification. The attack can be avoided by staying close to the enemy and on the ground, as the beam originates above them and will pass over the player's head from this position, though this can leave the player vulnerable to their instant death attacks instead.

Final Fantasy Dimensions II

Delta Attack is the Magus Sisters' special attack when summoned. It inflicts non-elemental damage to all enemies and recovers the HP and reduces the damage taken for two turns to all party members. Using Delta Attack costs 2 points from the Consumption Gauge.

Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008)
