Notes
- The four Kings are loaded at the start. When one is attacked, the rest disappear and the two Queens load, for a total of three mobs to fight.
- None are susceptible to Sleep or Lullaby, but they are to Gravity and Bind.
- King Cardians have TP Regain.
- Attacking any King spawns the Queen of Cups and Queen of Batons.
- With every spell cast on a cardian, they become increasingly stronger; drastically increased evasion, defense, and magic defense, quickly reaching the point of near-invulnerability. Physical Blue Magic, skillchains, Bard songs, en- spells, and Reprisal do not have the same effect.
Ranged attacks seemed to be unaffected by the defense/evasion boosts.Proven April 26, 2009 that range attacks are affected by this. RNG was doing nearly half the damage he was doing on the other Cardians and missed a lot. - All three cardians can use uncapped Bludgeon which takes 3 shadows, and also "Deal Out" which is a hate reset move.
- Queen of Batons may open with Sleepga, so it is recommended to be out of range or have poison potions for the beginning.
- Queens can and will cast Cure IV on the King if they are in range.
- Queens will not close within melee range, but they will close to casting range. If you are within melee range you will get attacked (hard).
- All cardians will detect magic and aggro. So if you wipe and need to raise people, need to be outside magic aggro range to raise.
- All cardians have an additional effect to their damage. They do NOT always go off on each melee hit. Known additional effects:
- Queen of Cups - Additional Effect: Silence
- Queen of Batons - Additional Effect: Paralyze
- King of Swords - Additional Effect: Attack down
- King of Coins - Additional Effect: Dispel
- King of Cups - Additional Effect: Absorbs buffs
- King of Batons - Additional Effect: HP Drain (16-105)
- Uses Blaze Spikes, which can deal 21 points of damage per hit.
- Cardians can use their respective job's 2 hour.
- Cardians have a chance to drop their respective card in the treasure pool prior to completing the BCNM.
- Bard song Goddess Hymnus is useless in arena.
