How to Get Her

Battle her in the Queen’s Domain (YAMI Palace).

Actually Using Her

Darkness III a physical monster through and through. A glance at her stats may make her seem a bit soft, but her typing provides a decent amount of protection. Her high MAG potential makes her a good choice for mopping up trash fights, but her lack of EX Skill slots will most likely limit those to sub attacks for peppering in between physical blows.

Tactical Mode Considerations

She really shines in Tactical Mode where foes have reduced HP across the board. Therefore, great to have her on the team. But it’s getting her that will be the challenge. After all, the bosses leading TO the Queen’s Domain are a thing you’ll need to deal with, too. Realistically, expect to get her around the mid-game at the very soonest.

Recommended Equipment

What Why
Any stabbing attribute weapons such as spears and bows Twin Drill is a heck of an attack, so make the best of it.
Light-Piercing Darkness Same-type stabbing weapon that’s already good even without the STAB bonus.
Zero Lance More foes resist it than Light-Piercing Darkness, but consider that it has a skill that deals damage based on STR+MAG.
Chariot Lance The ultimate weapon for destroying Ghost types. Puts Ghost type bosses to rest in a hurry.
Wedding Cake Knife It’s actually a stabbing weapon. Esper weapons like this are hard to come by and can deal with lots of very irritating enemies.
Silverdark Shield Helps compensate for Darkness III’s lacking magic defense on her guard skill.

Recommended EX Skills

EX Skill Why
Stab Mastery Does good things for Twin Drill.
Expertise Again, a Twin Drill buff. Makes it WAY powerful!
AGI+ Helps with accuracy since Dark III’s base AGI is unimpressive.
