Strategy
With 1,800 HP and a strong 50 Attack, Kraken is a formidable physical opponent. However, his aquatic nature leaves him with a critical weakness to Thunder magic.
Battle Plan
- Black Mage - Cast Haste on fighters, then spam Thundaga
- White Mage - Cast Protera and Invisira to reduce physical damage
- Physical attackers - Use Giant's Gloves (Saber) to boost damage

Quick Tips
- Thundaga is devastating - His Thunder weakness makes this spell extremely effective.
- Defense is key - Keep Protera and Invisira active to survive his attacks.
- Balance offense and defense - Heal any party member below half health.
