Notes

  • Uses normal Puk moves, but uses a unique move called Boreas Mantle that duplicates itself.
  • Clones can only be slept by Light-based sleep spells, such as a BRD's Lullaby, or Yawn and Sheep Song from BLU.
  • Clones have high attack rate.
  • Clones have around 500 HP.
  • Clones are very weak to Blizzaga easily taking 2-3 times more damage than a regular Puk.
  • Clones have been seen as having the same percentage of HP as the original when called. (Ex. Phantom Puk is at 50%, shadows summoned will also be at 50%)
  • Try to avoid fighting on Windsday and Lightsday due to his repeating healing move.
  • Susceptible to Repose.
  • Clones depop after a short time if Lullabied and left alone.
  • Can actually bypass the need for a BRD if BLM times out his -aga spell casting with Boreas Mantle move.
  • Duo'd by evasion geared THF/NIN and RDM/BLM timing Blizzaga with Boreas Mantle while looking after the THF and enfeebling.
  • Ramuh is very useful, as his Thunderspark ability is very quick and hits the clones for about 900 damage each.
  • Buffs do not wear upon entering.
  • Puks resistance to lullaby is extremely weak. Bard using a stringed instrument with only 105 stringed instrument skill never got resisted.
  • Also drops 12,000 gil split evenly to party members.
