Kuja is fought as the boss atop Pandemonium in Final Fantasy IX. The battle ends by a scripted event.
Stats[]
Battle[]
Flare Star.
Kuja casts Thundaga and Demi and uses the special Flare Star magic if party members are under the Reflect status, or if he is attacked by an ability that lowers his MP. Flare Star is a devastating spell, damaging the whole party that neither Shell nor Reflect can protect against. During the battle, Kuja occasionally taunts the characters when they attack him.
Depleting his HP transforms Kuja into Trance form and he casts Ultima, ending the battle.
Strategy[]
Coral Ring absorbs Thundaga. It is not advised to use Auto-Reflect, as this makes Kuja use Flare Star. Physical attacks with the Man Eater are enough to defeat him. He is susceptible to Quina's LV4 Holy.
