When you need to buff your defense, these compounds are here to help. Like the previous dozen or so compounds, there are lots of compounds with similar effects; you need to keep an eye out for the better ones. Number 53 Dragon Coat gives the best Physical Defense, while Number 60 Dragon Soul is the one for Magic Defense.

Compounds 61 to 74

Compound Item 1 Item 2 Effect
Fire Bane Phlogiston Insect Antenna Make enemy weak to Fire for three turns
Water Bane Permacrystal Insect Antenna Make enemy weak to Water for three turns

The “Bane” compounds make enemies weak to certain elements, allowing you to do 1.5 times damage with your corresponding elemental attacks. Can’t find an enemy weak to fire for your powerful fire attack? No worries; just use Fire Bane to punish them! The “Resist” compounds are good before you get the Spiritmaster’s Adaptation.

Compounds 75 to 89

Compound Item 1 Item 2 Effect
Giant’s Draft Beast Liver Dragon Fang Double maximum HP and restore HP
Turtle Split Hard Scale Dragon Fang Lower enemy’s Defense for four turns
Haste Brew Insect Antenna Dragon Fang Raise Speed for four turns
Element Boost Monster Fiber Dragon Fang Raise elemental attack for five turns
Dark Breath Spirit Bone Dragon Fang Deal damage equal to user’s maximum HP minus current HP
Shadowflare Demon Tail Dragon Fang Deal 5000 Dark damage
Dragon Breath Dragon Fang Dragon Fang Deal damage equal to user’s current HP
Divine Rain Glitterbug Glitterbug Deal 1500 Light damage to a party
Dark Sigh Dark Matter Dark Matter Deal 1500 Dark damage to a party
Bomb Arm Phlogiston Phlogiston Deal 1500 Fire damage to a party
Artic Wind Permacrystal Permacrystal Deal 1500 Water damage to a party
Pantheon’s Wrath Fulmen Shard Fulmen Shard Deal 1500 Lightning damage to a party
Tengu Sneeze Fairy Wing Fairy Wing Deal 1500 Wind damage to a party
Earth Mallet Desert Rose Desert Rose Deal 1500 Earth damage to a party
Rage Orb Everything else Everything else Deal minor damage and taunts enemy

We start this list with one of the most invaluable compounds–Number 75 Giant’s Draft, which doubles a character’s Maximum HP. Yes, it’s as amazing as it sounds, allowing your characters to survive twice the number of attacks. It’s a god-send for the super bosses and trivializes many other bosses.

Number 79 Dark Breath should be all too familiar… The enemy will take damage equal to your character’s Maximum HP minus their Current HP. It’s great, but not as good as Number 81 Dragon Breath, which does damage equal to your character’s Maximum HP. With Giant’s Draft in effect, that’s an easy 9999 damage.

Last but not least, you can create the most powerful attack items yourself, such as Number 82 Divine Rain. Combine with the Salve-maker’s Attack Item Amp ability, which increases the damage of combat items by 50%, for devastating effects… With Attack Item Amp, Number 80 Shadowflare will do 7500 damage regardless of HP; painful (for the enemy)!
