Ba'al v; Urchin

Learn how to defeat Neo Urchin in Bravely Second with our guide. Discover its weaknesses, HP, and effective strategies for this tough Ba'al.

Alright, let's talk about Neo Urchin, one of the tougher Ba'als you'll face. This guy's got some serious defenses, so you can't just waltz in and expect to win. We'll get you prepped to take him down!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Level: 1~99
• HP: Up to 1,000,000
• Weakness: Light, Bug

Neo Urchin, like its Neo brethren, boasts incredibly high Physical and Magic Defense, hitting 9999 at Level 99. This means your standard attacks might just bounce right off. You'll need to come prepared with ways to bypass these defenses.

Strategy:

• Defense-Bypassing Moves: Bring abilities that ignore defense. The Hawkeye's Harpoon and Catmancer's Sonic Boom are great options. If you're using mages, equip the Black Mage's Pierce Magic Defence ability.
• Ghost Mage Onslaught: A solid strategy is to use the Ghost Mage Onslaught, but swap out Chainspell for Pierce Magic Defence. Your damage will be lower, but at least you'll be dealing damage instead of none at all.
• Tank Preparation: Your tank should be geared for Magic Defense. Use abilities like the Catmancer's Purrfect Stance to buff its Magic Defense, and consider Limit Breaker for double buffs. If Urchin uses a regular attack, the Guardian's Soul Mirror can be a lifesaver.
• Attack Pattern Changes: Be aware that Neo Urchin's attack patterns differ from the regular Urchin. It's less predictable with Rainfall, so avoid Braving multiple times in a single turn. When its HP gets low, it will start to Default, setting up for two powerful attacks on the following turn. Be ready to react!
