User:ZephyrKujata/Argo

Notes:
 * Special: Argo is only aggressive towards Tarutaru characters.
 * This NM is normally seen wandering around in different parts of Windurst, most of the time in Windurst Woods near the Auction House. It's possible that she spawns in other areas of Vana'diel, however this is rare.
 * Argo will not spawn during full moon.
 * Seems to have high natural Regain and can use TP moves back to back.
 * After the NM has been spawned, she is passive and has a wide movement range. If not provoked (including the detection of Tarutaru characters), it will despawn after 10-12 hours. The spawn window will open again in 6-12 hours.
 * Treasure Hunter traits have no effect on Argo.
 * Killable by: 6 non-Tarutaru characters level 75. The NM is extremely damaging to Tarutaru characters; coupled with Tarutaru's natural low HP, she can easily wipe a whole alliance of Tarutarus. See special attacks below.

Special Attacks:
 * Argo's job changes frequently. The following abilities are only used when she is on the appropriate job:
 * Casts Black Magic spells including Ancient Magic IIs. This is the recommended job to attack Argo as she typically spends a lot of time on casting high-tier Black Magic spells, which will almost always be interrupted by players' attacks.
 * Calls a random Avatar (most of the time corresponding to day of the week) and may use Astral Flow. The Avatar should be kept slept or otherwise occupied, otherwise when Argo uses Astral Flow it will most definitely result in a wipe.
 * Casts White Magic and uses Benediction, which cures Argo for up to 4000 HP.
 * Uses Perfect Dodge. During Perfect Dodge, all of Argo's attacks will be Triple Attacks and considered Sneak Attack, regardless of the angle of attack. It's highly recommended to use Bind on Argo for the duration of Perfect Dodge. It is not recommended to attack Argo while she is on the Thf job.
 * Uses Ninjutsu, including Utsusemi: San, which gives Argo 6-10 shadows. Cannot be stunned. Argo does not use the Ninja 2-hour ability Mijin Gakure.
 * In addition, Argo can use the following abilities while on any job:
 * Tarutaru Stewpot: Heavy (~600-1000) frontal cone Fire damage.
 * Cooking Invocation: AoE Fire damage to everyone within range (15'). This ability removes all Fire Crystals and Fire Clusters in the inventories of those affected, dealing ~200 Fire damage for each stack of Fire Crystals or Fire Clusters removed this way. This ability will deal no damage to those without Fire Crystals and Clusters in their inventories.
 * Sharpens: Self-targetted Attack bonus and Haste. If Argo is on Thief job, her rate of Triple Attack will be greatly increased.
 * Cooking Knife: Single target heavy (~600-800) physical damage, especially against Tarutarus (~1000-1500). Ignores Utsusemi. If Argo is on Ninja job, she will use Cooking Knife twice in a row each time the ability is used.
 * Cutting Board: Light (~100-150) frontal cone physical damage and Stun. Ignores Utsusemi. If Argo is on White Mage job, those damaged by Cutting Board will also lose all Reraise currently active. Reraise spell or effects cannot be applied until Argo is no longer claimed.
 * Head Chef Hat: Self-targetted Accuracy bonus, and grants Argo a very strong Killer effect against Tarutaru characters. If Argo is on Summoner job, her Avatars will gain immunity to most enfeebles, including Sleep and Stun.
 * Fearsome Cackle: AoE strong Paralysis effects, with added effect of long duration Terror for Tarutaru characters. If Argo is on Black Mage job, she will gain a large Magic Attack Bonus and the next spell she cast will have a very high Fast Cast effect.
 * Cook: AoE heavy (~1200-1500) Fire damage to non-Tarutaru characters within range (7.5'). Tarutaru characters will be instantly KOed similiar to the spell Death. This ability can only be used after Argo uses "Cooking Invocation", "Sharpens", "Cutting Board", "Head Chef Hat", and "Fearsome Cackle". Regardless of its effects, Argo cannot use Cook again until she performs the above mentioned TP moves at least once each.

Historical Background
In Greek mythology, the Argo (Ἀργώ) was the ship on which Jason and the Argonauts sailed from Iolcus to retrieve the Golden Fleece. The Argo was built by the shipwright Argus, and its crew were specially protected by the goddess Hera. According to a variety of sources of the legend, the Argo was said to have been planned or constructed with the help of Athena. According to other legends it contained in its prow a magical piece of timber from the sacred forest of Dodona, which could speak and render prophecies. After the successful journey, the Argo was consecrated to Poseidon in the Isthmus of Corinth. It was then translated into the sky and turned into the constellation of Argo Navis.
