Monsters: Weak against Earth – 34 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
Stagger Index
The amount of CP earned by defeating this monster
CP
The item you are most likely to earn after defeating this monster in combat; it is not possible to earn both the common drop and the rare drop from a single monster
Common Drop
The chance that you will earn the monster's common drop after combat; this chance can be modified by certain accessories
Rate
The item you are less likely to earn after defeating this monster in combat; it is not possible to earn both the common drop and the rare drop from a single monster
Rare Drop
The chance that you will earn the monster's rare drop after combat; this chance can be modified by certain accessories
Rate
The level of vulnerability this monster has against this element; "weakness" means the monster takes extra damage from the element, "halved" means they take half damage, "resistant" means they take 10% damage, "immune" means they take no damage, and "absorbed" indicates that they will gain hit points from attacks of this element

Resistant Armor Ribbon
The only Earth attacks in the game, the QAKE Spell and CRACK Special Attack, are both KO attacks that affect multiple foes. Characters can gain resistance to Earth with a Ribbon, the ARUB Spell, or the WALL Spell. Many creatures resist Earth, especially any creature depicted as able to fly or swim. Nothing in the game is weak against Earth magic.

Effective Weapons Gaia Blade
The "Earth" family is an interesting one, consisting of what appears to be subterranean, plantoid, or otherwise earth-related creatures. The only weapon in the game that has a special power against them is the Gaia Blade, but the family is not common enough that it's really worth worrying about for very long.

Earth is available to the party primarily in the form of the Quake Spell, which hits the party as well as its foes. This can be mitigated with Float (which grants immunity to most Earth attacks) or Gaia Gear, and while very few Monsters have a weakness to Earth, it is extremely powerful against non-flying Monsters.
