Time your movements to avoid getting spat onby these stationary, noncombat, creatures.

Our advice is toavoid sprintingand use the “normal” run instead.

Homo Fios

This aquatic irritation warrants its own section.

It will also castMasukunda to lower the party’s by one stage.

This can get pretty frustrating, pretty fast, if you don’t counter it accordingly.

Metaphor: ReFantazio

Try your luck usingShield Artswith yourKnightto lower Homo Fios' Hit and Evasion.

If you have anyHit/Evasion-lowering items, even better.

Stay on the defensive when Homo Fios has your Hit and Evasion lowered.

Remember thatwhen you miss your target, you lose extra turn icons.

Go all-out whenever it’s at least a bit less evasive.

Healer

Keep to healing duties, including curing the Burn ailment.

Equip Kande from Mage if you have it, and use it on the Vampiric Gelatinos when you could.

Synthesis link-up with Hulkenberg for Masukukaja, which raises all allies' Hit and Evasion for three turns.

Once that’s been cast, use Poison Shot on Parasitic Valmo, as it’s vulnerable.

Parasitic Valmo also usesSoul Cry, whichgrants the opposition two additional turn icons.

It will follow this up often withEnergy Steal, which depletes asmall percentage of the target’s MP.

We do recommendeliminating the Vampiric Gelatinos first.
