Lang-Baw-Baw Battle Strategy
Defeating Lang-Baw-Baw requires patience and precise timing to avoid its electrified attacks and find openings to counter:
Recommended Skills
Invest in Mysticism points to unlock the Immobilize spell, which can interrupt Lang-Baw-Baw’s electric attacks and provide critical openings for counterattacks.
Recommended Equipment
Equip gear that boosts agility and resistance to electric damage. Cloud Step is an excellent ability to create distance and heal when overwhelmed.
