— In-game description

Diamondback is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Blue Mage.

Flavor Text

Diamondback weaves earth-aspected aether into a hard mineral shield, mimicking what many describe as the “maddening” effect of shelled dragons' carapaces. Alas, though its defensive properties are superlative, its weight makes it impossible for the caster to move while under its aegis.

Acquisition Tips

  • Cuca Fera actually CAN be damaged heavily without use of the cannons. Use Missile to half his HP over and over till he's low enough to where you can kill him with standard skills. Alternatively, Level 5 Death can be used to finish the battle off instantly; just ensure Cuca Fera has used Diamondback first.
