Standard Equipment: A Crystal
Intelligence: Cagnazzo is possibly the most devious of the Four Archfiends, murdering the king of Baron in cold blood before taking his place to manipulate Cecil and the populace. In combat he harasses his foes with a variety of status effects, completely paralyzing them, nullifying their ability to use magic, and putting them to sleep so they cannot resist his signature Tsunami attack. However, he is somewhat overconfident, and consistently taunts the heroes prior to their battle.
Weaknesses: Cagnazzo is somewhat arrogant and overconfident, His Tsunami can be vaporized prematurely by a well-timed and sufficiently powerful lightning attack, He is more vulnerable to ice-based attacks normally and vulnerable to lightning-based attacks while surrounded by water
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Hold: Cagnazzo completely paralyzes his foe, rendering them incapable of any action.
*Silence: Cagnazzo mutes his foe, preventing them from using verbal magic.
*Sleep: Cagnazzo puts his foe to sleep to prevent them from fighting back.
*Slow: Cagnazzo slows down time around his foe, reducing their effective speed.
*Tsunami: Cagnazzo's signature attack, in which he gathers water around him for a short time and nullifying his weakness to ice in exchange for a weakness to lightning. After a certain amount of time, Cagnazzo unleashes this water as a massive tsunami, dealing heavy water-elemental damage and potentially inflicting instant death on all affected.
