Battle

Like most enemies in the Ancient Castle, Lunatys has high Magic Defense and inherent reflect. It can use both Freezing Dust, which inflicts the frozen status on a character, and Meteor when left alone. Lunatys likes to attack in groups.

Strategy

Summoning an esper or using multi-target, Defense-ignoring spells, such as Ultima, work well. They are also vulnerable to Strago's Lv.5 Death.
