Monster Weakness Chart

[sdfb6]

Hey guys, i'm a level 15 BST/WHM on Midgar, and I hear people talk about a Monster Weakness Chart, that shows what type of mob is weak against the other type of mob. Does anyone know where to find this?

I'm not talking about like Fire ===> Ice >>>> etc, or fire hurts gobs, i'm looking for the chart that says, for example , bats ====> wrights. Has anyone found this or is it pretty much you learn as you go, lol?

THANKS A LOT!

Re: Monster Weakness Chart

I know what you're talking about, but I can't find it anywhere. If noone else can find it, then I'll scan it out of the guide when I get home and post it for you.

Re: Monster Weakness Chart

How is a Monster's weakness to another Monster calculated? I cant understand.. Maybe for example a Pugil owns a Bomb, but then it would still be cause of its elemental beeing.

It's not a weakness in the terms of elemental weakness...



What it does is, the Fish might not own said bomb, but it has teh power to intimidate it. And I don't mean the pugil WS intimidate, lol -_-;

Re: Monster Weakness Chart

Call me crazy ... but I decided to make my own diagram and used FFXI model viewer to extract my monsters.

Damage mob vs. mob is still calculated using the same variables that Player dmg is calculated (i.e. piercing, slashing, blunt, level spread). Elemental weakness of course plays a part but that's more dependant on the actual element of the mobs TP attack(s).

The only reason for the chart is as an above posters stated intimidation factor. (to my knowledge. I'm missing something I think?)

Re: Monster Weakness Chart

If you look at the chart I made (Which is a faithful recreation of the one you can find in game - for example, if you go straight from Bastok Mines MH and past the AH, you will find a galka child with this map) the arrows indicate "predation" and "opposition." To my knowledge, predation gives you the feeling that the a monster's natural predator has an advantage over that monster. In other words, Beasts have a killer trait over Lizards, which is akin to a DRG having killer traits over wyverns (The damage that DRGs can do on Wyrms in comparison with other melees is like day and night - try Mission 2-3 BC and Ouryu fights if you don't believe me)

As for the list of "opposition," it is irrelevant for most BSTs since those monsters are not charmable. However, I have a feeling that those monsters have weaknesses against each other, but do not exhibit that weakness towards every other monster class.

Re: Monster Weakness Chart

heh, I like how the arcana has 4 weapons lol, That one would be scary to see ;P

Re: Monster Weakness Chart

Where do golems, pots, and dolls fall into that one? Are they arcana or demons or something?

Re: Monster Weakness Chart

I think they would be Arcana, but I'm not sure at all

Actually, if you look at it carefully, the Weapons have some seriously to-die-for arms over their heads. Of particular is that one on the right, Great Katana + Knuckles combo. Jam the hilt to someone's face for close quarters fighting and for everything else, slice-and-dice. www

Where do golems, pots, and dolls fall into that one? Are they arcana or demons or something?

Should I make another graphical listing of everything? Hmmm ...

Arcana

Weapons
Golems
Dolls
Magic Jars/Pots
Bombs/Grenades
Detectors

I'm also wondering if Mimics are arcana based ... but those are rarely encountered.

Edit: Okay, I checked and Mimics ARE arcana and I missed several more ... from the top ...
