Sahagins are tough to kill quickly. They usually open with Water Gun, and can use both that and a slightly weaker basic attack. Its their 150 HP and lack of weaknesses that are the problem. On rare occasions (1/16 chance) they will block physical attacks with Shell Defense, reducing the damage of the attack to 1. Spells are your most effective form of offense against them.

Punch-Elemental attacks never miss a Sahagin.
