Monsters: Which drop Cobaltite – 1 shown
Unique monsters are only encountered during one-time plot encounters; mission monsters appear only during missions; the final bosses make up the last set of encounters in the game; eidolons are special monsters that are not defeated through sheer martial prowess; note that multiple monsters may have the same name, especially in the case of multi-stage bosses
Name
The monster's type, as indicated by the in-game datalog
Type
The monster's subtype, as indicated by the in-game datalog
Subtype
The monster's starting and maximum hit points
HP
The monster's strength; a standard physical attack will deal approximately this amount of damage
Strength
The monster's magic power; a typical magic attack will deal approximately this amount of damage
Magic
The monster's level
Level
A monster's chain resistance indicates how quickly its chain meter fills up; a chain resistance of 70 is normal, and every 30 points modifies the chain bonus per hit by that same amount; thus, the chain meter of a monster with a chain resistance of 40 will increase at double speed (compared to 70), or triple speed with a chain resistance of 10; a chain resistance of 100 negates all chain modifiers, reducing each hit to a minimal change to the chain gauge; when a monster is staggered, its chain resistance is reduced to 0
Chain Resistance
When the monster's chain gauge reaches this point, it increases by 100% and they are considered staggered; staggered creatures have a chain resistance of zero; if a monster has no stagger point listed, it will nonetheless be staggered when its chain gauge reaches 999.0%
Stagger Point
A monster's stagger index is an adjusted value that gives a relative measure of how hard a monster is to stagger; this number is based on how many hits the monster's chain gauge would require to reach the stagger point with a chain resistance of 70; for instance, a monster with a chain resistance of 70 and a stagger point of 150.0% would have a stagger index of 50 (since the chain gauge starts at 100.0%), as would a monster with a chain resistance of 40 and a stagger point of 200.0% or a monster with a chain resistance of 85 and a stagger point of 125.0%; the stagger index of a monster with a chain resistance of 100 is an approximation due to the effects of having 100 chain resistance
