Battle Edit
The Valigarmanda has high Defense and cannot be harmed physically, except with weapons that ignore Defense like the Valiant Knife, Fixed Dice, Drill, and Ultima Weapon. It is also immune to all elements except Fire. Offensively, Valigarmanda's only damaging spell is Blizzaga, which is weak.
StrategyEdit
The party should cast Fira and Firaga spells to melt the esper's prison of ice. Defeating it is a simple task.

EtymologyEdit
In fiction, an esper (stylized as ESPer) is an individual capable of telepathy and other similar paranormal abilities. The term was apparently coined in this sense by Alfred Bester in his 1950 short story "Oddy and Id" and is derived from the abbreviation ESP for extrasensory perception.
Tri- is a numerical prefix meaning three.
Trivia Edit
- Formation #488 is unused, the Valigarmanda battle uses the formation #487.
