Use[]
Earth Blues is a reliable Dance option as it provides strong non-elemental damage to single targets, with a small chance to heal HP. Though its damage is all single-target, its attacks are strong, and due to being non-elemental, enemies' elemental affinities cannot mitigate it. If using Dance against bosses, Earth Blues is one of the most reliable choices, as only Sonic Boom will be ineffective; however, the randomness of Dance means that players may prefer not to use Dance against bosses at all.
Earth Blues is comparable to Wind Rhapsody, another reliable Dance option. The main differences are Earth Blues' attacks are single target, and it has a higher chance to attack than heal, whereas Wind Rhapsody can deal non-elemental damage to multiple targets and has a greater chance to heal.
As with Dance in general, using it will make Mog uncontrollable for the rest of the fight. As such, players should be certain that they will only want Mog for these abilities for the rest of the battle, and should be prepared for a degree of randomness. Because Dance's damage is magic based, if players wish to use Mog this way, leveling him up with magicite that boosts his Magic stat is ideal; alternatively, players may prefer to use Dragoon Boots and rely on his physical damage from spears, meaning Strength should be used instead.
