Holy (Final Fantasy XII element)

Holy is an element in Final Fantasy XII. Opposed to Dark, it is usually excellent against undead and demonic enemies, but it is best inflicted via elemental weapons as the sole Holy spell is not so usable due to its cast time. Holy is unaffected by weather and terrain.

Abilities[]

Esper ability	Eschaton & Redemption (Ultima)
Item	Holy Mote
Spell	Holy (White Magicks)
Weapon	Euclid's Sextant, Excalibur, Holy Lance, Holy Rod, Wyrmhero Blade

In addition, the Holy Rod, Staff of the Magi, and the White Robes increase the power of the wielder's Holy-elemental damage by 50%.

The Holy-affected gambits are "Foe: holy-weak" and "Foe: holy-vulnerable"; the latter triggers against any foe that does not outright absorb the element, even if the foe is immune to Holy. In the original PlayStation 2 version, these gambits are only available to purchase from gambit shops after the party obtains the Treaty-Blade, "holy-weak" costing 500 gil and "holy-vulnerable" costing 250 gil. In the Zodiac versions, these gambits only cost 70 gil and are available to buy ever since the party escapes the Nalbina Dungeons.
