Strategy

Tiamat has 2,400 HP and is resistant to all elemental magic. The key to victory is mitigating her powerful elemental breath attacks and focusing on non-elemental damage.

Battle Plan

  • White Mage - Cast NulAll immediately, keep elemental defenses up
  • Black Mage - Cast Haste on fighters, then use Flare for damage
  • Physical attackers - Buff with Saber and attack every turn
The party endures Tiamat's fierce elemental barrage

Quick Tips

  • NulAll is essential - Tiamat's primary threat is her group elemental magic.
  • Use non-elemental attacks - Flare, Holy, and physical attacks bypass her resistances.
  • Keep HP above 200 - She can chain multiple breath attacks together.
