Notes:
- Spawns at (H-7).
- Seems to have around 20,000 HP
- Uses Draw In if pulled to far away from it's spawning site.
- Uses Draw In upon aggro from the sky.
- Draws in the entire alliance from anywhere in the zone to a designated point. Zirnitra is also brought to this point no matter where he is.
- Casts Silencega, 15' AoE.
- Bringing plenty of Echo Drops is highly advised.
- Has a lot of knockback moves. Best to fight it against the cliff wall.
- Gradually builds resistance to stun.
- Was completely immune after about 8-10 stuns.
- This seems to be false, after about 14 stuns he showed no signs of resistance to a BLM.
- Highly resistant or immune to slow and elegy.
- Slightly resistant to paralyze.
- Absorbs wind elemental damage.
- BLU/THF and SMN seemed to be the best damage.
- The BLU/THFs were doing 5-7% with Cannonball (Blue Magic).
- Immune to Repose.
- If you wipe to this NM a message will be displayed saying "The monster fades before your eyes, a look of disappointment on its face."
Special Attacks:
- Storm Wing: AoE wind damage, Silence, and knockback.
- Bloody Beak: Physical and Magical Cone Attack. Drain.
- Works like Blood Weapon.
- Ignores Shadows.
- Tail Lash: Physical damage.
- Used if hate is pulled from behind. Flail-type move.
- Unknown if shadows can absorb.
- Reaving Wind: Magical. Does not do damage.
The Following moves were only observed when <50% HP:
- Calamitous Wind: AoE Magical wind damage and knockback. 20'
- Also erased all buffs. Unknown if it erases food, too.
- Strong move, hit the fully-buffed PLDs for around 800 damage.
- Can only be used after using Reaving Wind.
- Warped Wail: AoE low damage, max HP down, max MP down
- Feral Peck: Seemed to be a Throat Stab style move, but was resisted at times.
- As his hp decreases, Zirnitra will begin to spam Reaving Winds in succession to one another. After he is done doing this (at a max of three times) he unleashes the same number of Calamitous Winds as he did Reaving Winds (Ex: If he does three Reaving Winds, he will follow up with three Calamitous Winds.
- Even if you stun one of the Calamitous Winds, he will continue to attempt to do the same number as he did Reaving Winds until he is successful. For this reason, stunning Calamitous Winds may only be used for breather time to make sure the tanks don't fall victim to the massive damage being dealt.
- Finding this NM can be very hard as it isnt Wise scan able when flying
Historical Background
In Slavic mythology Zirnitra, or Zir, is a black dragon and the god of sorcery. The image of Zirnitra was employed on a Wendish flag when the Wends fought the invading Saxons. Zirnitra literally means "magically empowered."
