Anima (Final Fantasy X-2)

Anima is a boss in Final Fantasy X-2. She is an aeon fought on the road to the Farplane. Defeating her awards the Immortal Soul Garment Grid.
== Stats ==
== Battle ==
Anima can use Oblivion and Pain. Instead of being instant death like in Final Fantasy X, Pain this time inflicts non-elemental damage and various status effects; namely Silence, Darkness, and Itchy, as well as reductions of Strength, Defense, Magic, Magic Defense, Accuracy, and Evasion by 1 level each. Her standard physical attack inflicts Poison, while Oblivion does 16 hits of minor non-elemental damage against all characters.
As with many of the other aeons fought in the game, Anima's AI operates on an action counter pattern. When her turn comes up, she has an 80% chance of using her standard physical attack and a 20% chance to use Pain instead. Every time she uses an attack or is targeted, her action counter increases by 5. Once the action counter hits 100, she uses Oblivion and the action counter resets to zero.
=== Strategy ===
It is best to protect the party by equipping Ribbons. Anima is weak against Holy, so a Warrior's Excalibur and Yuna's Trainer with Kogoro Holy, deal heavy damage. The Dark Knight's Darkness ability also works well, as does the Samurai's Fireworks. Another effective strategy is to use any special dressphere or powerful captured fiends (e.g. Black Elemental or Dark Elemental) to render the fight somewhat trivial.
== Creature Creator ==
=== Fiend Arena ===
Anima can be added to the Fiend Arena by capturing Aranea in Bevelle with a Trap pod L in Chapter 5, raising him by four levels to complete his fiend tale, and then releasing him. The player needs to encounter and beat Aranea in battle in Via Infinito before this can occur.
Anima behaves identically to how she is fought in the Road to the Farplane. Defeating her in the Fiend Arena awards 15 AP but only 1,130 EXP.
== AI script ==
