Hexadragon is a Triple Triad card in Final Fantasy VIII used to play the minigame and for turning into items with Quezacotl's Card Mod. Hexadragon is the forty-fourth card in the inventory and the last Level 4 card.
Being a Level 4 card, the card values on the Hexadragon are not particularly strong, but its value placements may be useful for games that use Same and/or Plus. It is a fire-elemental card that comes into effect when the Elemental rule is in play. Elemental is encountered halfway through the game at Fishermans Horizon, though it is also a rule in Dollet and the Queen of Cards can be paid money to introduce new rules to a region. Placing the Hexadragon on a tile with the matching flame symbol boosts the card's stats by +1. The increased values do not count toward Same/Plus triggering, but do count toward Combo mechanics.
Obtain[]
The Hexadragon monster has a 3.5% chance to drop the card. Using the Card command on a Hexadragon has a 93.7% chance to procure a Hexadragon card when it succeeds.
Any AI Triple Triad player who uses Level 4 cards has a chance of using Hexadragon in a play, from where the player can win it in a card match.
Card Mod[]
Three Hexadragon cards refine into a Red Fang with Quezacotl's Card Mod ability, which in turn becomes Firaga spells with Ifrit's F Mag-RF, a good spell to have early. Red Fangs can also be made into Fire Ammo (Ammo-RF) for Irvine and are needed to craft Twin Lance for Squall.
