Attributes

Attribute Notes:

• Values in bold can be encountered in a Legend run (no training), no bold means that these values are only available in training fights.
  • Italic values cannot be encountered in training despite being coded in the game due to Sonny's level being +1 higher than the zone level when entering a new zone, on a legend run.
• Buffs cannot reduce Power/Defense/Speed below 1. This also applies to Vitality but it normally cannot be modified in battle.
  • For Defense specifically, this means that the Damage taken Mod becomes ~200% while both breached and exposed. See this this page for more info.
• Visible Power/Defense/Speed is rounded to nearest integer. If the actual value ends exactly in ".5", then it will be rounded to nearest even integer. Visible (Max) HP is rounded up.
• Abilities can also have Hit./Crit. Bonuses, which are listed under the Abilities section.
• Only Physical Defense is shown because the other elemental defenses are not used at all on units. They can still get non-physical elemental defense from certain abilities.

A.I. Ability Order

A.I. Notes:

• The A.I. prefers to use the topmost item in the left list, which is ranked according to the abilities' total scaling and A.I. score bonuses. For attacks specifically, their cooldown also plays a part in the rankings (the longer the cooldown, the higher it goes).
  • When an ability's Max HP Threshold condition is met and it's off cooldown, then that ability is added to the left list, in most cases to the top.
  • If an ability cannot be used due to being on cooldown, incl. silences, then the A.I. moves down the list to the next ability. If no abilities are available, then the A.I. skips their turn.
  • The A.I. will also not use healing abilities with 100% HP Threshold if all their teammates have full HP.
• The A.I. does have a chance of not following the list and instead picking a random ability. The chance depends on it's A.I. type and the difference in total scaling & A.I. Score Bonuses.
• It might also pick a different ability if the valid target(s) has:
  • Increased elemental defense against an element one of their available abilities has.
  • High Defense and the A.I. has access to an ability that deals piercing damage.
• The A.I. prefers targeting units with low HP% (both attacks & heals) and a high Damage Taken Mod (only attacks). Buffs that increases damage/healing taken also affect the targeting priority.
• Again, the A.I. has a chance of targeting a random unit instead. The chance depends on it's A.I. type, the difference in HP% & difference in Damage Taken Mod.

A.I. Type	This unit has the A.I. type "Normal". They tend to follow the list and targeting priority, but can sometimes switch it up with a random ability or target.
Phases	Ability Preference List	HP Threshold Abilities	Passive Abilities
Phase 1	- Frozen Fog (3rd turn & onward) - Blizzard (6th turn & onward) - Attack	- Hydrogen Shell (4th turn & onward) (Self <100% HP)

Note: All abilities except Attack has similar A.I. score and as such are likely to be switched around in the priority order, if multiple are available. Party Defense also affect it significantly, the above order works for average to high Defense. Low Defense results in Frozen Fog and Blizzard being prioritized above Hydrogen Shell.

Tactics

Much like Frost Mages, who also has access to Blizzard, Nagas should be killed as soon as possible. If Hydrogen Shell has been used, dispel the buff or use multi-strike attacks to remove it quickly. The Suppress buff (-70% healing received) can speed up the process of killing them. If the player has access to either the Fire Strain or Lightning Strain, consider using Blast/Arc Flash to quickly kill them off.

Trivia

• Nagas are the only enemies who can heal Sonny's party, through the Hydrogen Shell buff (-80% damage taken & heal attacker on hit)
