Battle Mechanics
Passive Traits All Foes:

 * Take extra damage during their SP Abilities . This does not negate the effects of Invincible or Elemental Sforzo.

Abilities Used Each Orc uses the standard set of Orc abilities, such as Arm Block, Battle Dance, Howl, Shoulder Attack, Slam Dunk and Aerial Wheel. Each Orc also has access to its Job's SP Ability. Heroic Howl is used if the Crusader is defeated while any adds remain, drastically increasing the attack of remaining adds while greatly reducing their damage taken.

Crusader:
 * Invincible: Can use repeatedly.
 * Veil of Chaos: AOE Light Elemental damage + Amnesia + Knockback + Hate Reset to affected targets. Wipes shadows. Only used while its Aura is up. Will always use this back-to-back and then follow up with Manic Dance.
 * Manic Dance: Single target Charm and Poison. Pierces shadows. Can be resisted with enough Magic Evasion (Carol, Tenebrae runes, etc).
 * Veil of Disarray: AOE damage + brief Stun + Hate Reset. Uses this frequently at low HP.
 * Berserker Dance: Potent Haste. Takes 50% additional damage while active.

 * Frantic Howl: Warcry effect.

Duelist:
 * Rune Enhancement: Sulpor specifically, increasing its resistance to Water damage.
