Talk:Bune

Strategy Tips
Bune is a Wyvern that spawns every 21 to 24 hours on the far west end of Gustav Tunnel (first map). He must be tanked by either a Ninja or Thief as his Fang Rush special attack stands a very high chance (if not a guaranteed bet) of killing any other job with one hit. Ninjas and Thieves are no less susceptible to being one shotted if this moves lands but the difference with these jobs is that they have much higher evasion so they stand a chance of having a shadow up from Utsusemi thus being spared an almost certain death.

An ideal strategy would be to have two tanks, Ninja or Thief at or near 75. In the event one dies from Bune's fang rush, the other tank takes over while a mage quickly revives the fallen tank in order to get them back into the fray. A Bard with Mambo will make the fight easier but good mage support in the form of curing is a must. More ideally you will have a mage of each job class, a high level Red Mage for enfeebling, casting Paralyze in particular, a White Mage for removing paralysis on the tanks as well curing and a Black Mage for stunning Bune when Utsusemi shadows of tanks are down and clearly a tank is taking damage.

Bune like other wyverns has an annoying Dispelling Wind area of affect move which eliminates various useful buffers, e.g., Protect and Shell, from players in close proximity of the move. Mages and Bards should be on the lookout for this move and quickly rebuff the tanks as necessary.

The much coveted Enhancing Sword that Bune potentially drops is not so common with a reported drop rate of about only 14%.
