Flavor Text

Memorably employed by Byblos, this technique, simply put, drops a massive metal─or, in many cases, aetherial─hammer directly upon a foe's pate with resounding impact. Such foes understandably find their mental acuity somewhat reduced thereafter.

Tips

Acquisition Tips

Apanda is located in the room before the final boss in The Great Gubal Library (Hard). Condensed Libra is learnable from the Mechanoscribes before this encounter as well.

Other Tips

Restores 1000 MP because Blue Mage has a set 10000 MP.
The mitigation effects are similar to Addle, which reduces magical damage.
In addition to when the mitigation is needed, use this sparingly alongside Lucid Dreaming to maximize on restoring MP.
