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.
- 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, Bard songs, en- spells, and Reprisal do not have the same effect. Ranged attacks seemed to be unaffected by the defense/evasion boosts.
- All three cardians can use uncapped Bludgeon which takes 3 shadows, and also "Deal Out" which is a hate reset move.
- BLM Queen might start with Sleepga, so it is recommended to be out of range and also have some poison potions at least at start. It casted Sleepga as soon as it popped in my run.
- 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
- Cardians can use their respective job's 2 hour.
