When Hitetsu is encountered as a Black Mage, it is very often known to immediately cast an Enfeebling Magic spell (typically Gravity or Bind) and will proceed to run out of melee range and begin casting in quick succession. It is rare for Hitetsu to aggro and any encounter with this NM is generally passive, though if it should aggro, it will almost always use Blizzard IV, Thunder IV or Burst II. Typically seen solo.

The Bard variation is can be more difficult to deal with. Will often prioritize Elegy over any other song and when /NIN with damage gear on, will frequently use Lullaby to reapply March or Paeon and Utsusemi. If sighted as /WHM, will always have Reraise active and will use it as soon as possible. Typically seen in small parties with 2-3 others.

The Warrior type can be hard defeat if you are unable to absorb attacks from it's Weapon Skills. The general gear this NM wears when it spawns as a Warrior differs depending on enemy and party members. When in a party with only mages, this NM will typically use Scorpion Harness, Evasion Torque and priortise EVA and DEF over ATT and ACC. When in a party with other melee, this NM will often switch between EVA/DEF and ATT/ACC at random. Has been sighted both in a small party and solo.

If any of these variations are encountered, one weapon skill available to them is "Call Turtle", in which the NM will summon several friends to fight alongside him, this will almost ensure victory and caution should be taken if the NM uses this ability.
