Diamondback
“Reduces damage taken by 90% and nullifies most knockback and draw-in effects.
Unable to move or take action for the duration of this effect.
Duration: 10s
If used when Waxing Nocturne is active, its effect will transition immediately to Waning Nocturne.
The effect of this action cannot be ended manually.— 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
Duties
- Cuca Fera from level 50 Dungeon The Stone Vigil (Hard)
Tips
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.
- In early game progress, Doom(stage 20 could give some trouble yet still possible) or Tail Screw(solo way to learn is to solo Crag Claw, you can make it once learned 2-3 CC and ilvl around 130) can do as well like all instant death rule.
Other Tips
- In raid situations such as The Final Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4, this spell can chew through MP easily. Blood Drain and Lucid Dreaming must be used effectively to restore MP.
