Flavor Text

In a devastating recreation of one of Titan's most fearsome techniques, Mountain Buster strikes opponents with an upheaval of earth-aspected aether, as if the land itself were ripping free of its confines to pulverize its defilers─or any unfortunate bystanders, as it were.

Acquisition Tips

On Titan, this action is an untelegraphed AoE tankbuster where Titan will create a wave of stone targeting the main tank. As the spell has no cast timer and is only cast late in The Navel (Hard), it is possible for Blue Mages to miss this spell from this trial. In The Navel (Extreme), Mountain Buster occurs earlier in the trial as Titan casts it intermittently between his rotations, so it may be possible for Blue Mages to learn this spell in an unsynched solo instance at later levels.

In The Navel (Extreme), it is recommended for Blue Mages to not DPS Titan beyond the first phase at the start of the battle, so that Titan can proceed to use Mountain Buster while having enough room to dodge his other attacks. Once Titan has used Mountain Buster, Blue Mages can then proceed to burst DPS and complete the trial as per normal.
