Notes[]
- The four Kings are loaded at the start. They do not aggro.
- In the event that you wipe and try to raise people and save it, the remaining Cardians are Aggressive to Sight and Magic.
- When one of the Kings is attacked, the rest would despawn and the Queen of Cups and Queen of Batons would appear.
- King Cardians have TP Regain.
- None are susceptible to Sleep or Lullaby, but all are to Gravity and Bind. (However, Gravity and Bind may cause rage, according to one theory.)
- All Cardians are highly susceptible to the Stun effect from Head Butt and Violent Flourish, and will not rage due to this effect.
- All Cardians have a "rage mode" where they become extremely evasive and resistant to damage. It has not been conclusively proven what triggers the rage but the following have been claimed: (See the discussion page for details.)
- Rage is possible only after the Cardians have received the Weighted Down, Bind, or Cursed effect.
- Any offensive white or black magic may cause them to rage.
- Counter: Many groups have used Dia, Slow, Paralyze, Bio, Flash, etc. without the Cardians raging.
- Flash, Bio and Blind have been demonstrated to cause rage in at least some instances. Reprisal and magical spikes (Shock Spikes, Blaze Spikes, etc...) do not.
- Quick Draw does not appear to cause rage.
- Counter: Many groups have used Dia, Slow, Paralyze, Bio, Flash, etc. without the Cardians raging.
- Skillchain Damage can make the cardians Rage.
- Counter: Many groups have used SC intentionally or unintentionally without the Cardians rage.

- All three cardians can use uncapped Bludgeon which takes 3 shadows, and also "Deal Out" which is a hate reset move.
- Queen of Batons may open with Sleepga, so it is recommended to be out of range or have poison potions for the beginning.
- Queens can and will cast Cure IV on the King if they are in range.
- Queens will not close within melee range, but they will close to casting range. If you are within melee range you will get attacked (hard).
- All cardians will detect magic and aggro. So if you wipe and need to raise people, need to be outside magic aggro range to raise.
- All cardians have an additional effect to their damage. They do NOT always go off on each melee hit. Known additional effects:
- Queen of Cups - Additional Effect: Silence
- Queen of Batons - Additional Effect: Paralyze
- King of Swords - Additional Effect: Attack down
- King of Coins - Additional Effect: Dispel
- King of Cups - Additional Effect: Absorbs buffs
- King of Batons - Additional Effect: HP Drain (16-105)
- Uses Blaze Spikes, which can deal 21 points of damage per hit.
- Cardians can use their respective job's 2 hour.
- Cardians have a chance to drop their respective card in the treasure pool prior to completing the BCNM.
- Bard song Goddess Hymnus is useless in arena.
- If you use Escape upon exit, you will be placed right outside Giddeus entrance, making the run around to next run much faster.
