Fang:So, Light... How you figure this makes us lucky?
Lightning:Because when we kill it, we're one step closer to Vanille. How's that?

Battle[]
The Kalavinka Striker can attack the party with a ramming attack, and use a lightning-based ranged attack. The rematch gives it more HP, a higher chain resistance, a higher resistance to Slow and Curse, and access to the powerful Hellstorm Bolt attack.
Strategy[]
It is best to have two Ravagers and a Saboteur come out first to amass a chain bonus and cast Curse and Slow on the Striker, then switch to the Relentless Assault or Aggression to finish it off. Hope can be used as a Synergist to cast Barthunder on the party to defend Fang and Lightning.
