Pentapus uses several dangerous elements that allow it to attack single units multiple times. [[Hexahitter]], as indicated by the prefix Hexa- (which means "six") hits a single target six consecutive times for approximately thirty damage each. [[Whop]] strikes an enemy twice for the same amount of damage. Pentapus' ordinary attacks also strike for heavy damage and strike approximately twice per attack. When attacked with [[Elements]], | Pentapus uses several dangerous elements that allow it to attack single units multiple times. [[Hexahitter]], as indicated by the prefix Hexa- (which means "six") hits a single target six consecutive times for approximately thirty damage each. [[Whop]] strikes an enemy twice for the same amount of damage. Pentapus' ordinary attacks also strike for heavy damage and strike approximately twice per attack. When attacked with [[Red (Element)|Red]][[Elements]], Pentapus eagerly recoils with its own arsenal of extremely potent Elements, which have the capability to reduce a party member's [[Hit Point]]s to zero in one move. To easily defeat Pentapus, bring along a [[Blue (Element)|Blue]] [[Innate]] such as [[Korcha]] or [[Pierre]], and a Red Innate, such as Greco. Keep party members at high health and exploit all physical attacks as much as possible, especially with the Red Innate and Serge. [[Dash&Slash]] is a must. So long as the party sticks to physical attacks and avoids the use of Red Elements, the battle will run smoothly. | ||
