FFXII - Espers - Famfrit, the Darkening Cloud




Kumbha Ascendant
The hideous, darkly clouded form of Famfrit, scion in opposition to Holy Queen Emmerololth, scion of light, was anathema even to his creators. Thus, after a great battle, was he broken and sealed within armor laced with wards. The confines of his armor are void of light, and so is he called the Darkening Cloud. Men fear the rain that falls from the black clouds that ooze from that giant ewer as a herald of chaos and waste.



Previously seen in: Final Fantasy III as the final boss (Dark Cloud), and as the Totema for the Moogles in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

Location: Pharos at Ridorana, Third Ascent, 100F. Fought as part of the storyline (he's summoned partway through your battle vs. Doctor Cid)

Battle info
Status: Protect, Shell

Attacks: Regular (~500), Briny Cannonade (~1700), Waterja (~1700 all plus chance of Silence)
LP earned: 52

Advice: Make sure your gambits are set accordingly so you don't waste attacking turns on an immune Cid. Famfrit is largely a lumbering paperweight... Waterja is his big move though, so make sure your team's HP is above 2000 at all times, and be prepared to get rid of Silence if it gets incurred. Famfrit gets a boost at HP Critical, almost doubling the damage done by his regular physical attack, but it shouldn't be a problem - just make sure your gambits are set so you don't waste any moves on an immune Doctor Cid.
