"His desire to achieve immortality reaches far beyond the mortal realm."
Xande was a main villain from Final Fantasy III. He was the greatest student of the immortal Archmagus Noah, and when Noah passed from the world he gave Xande the gift of mortality. Feeling spurnned by his master, Xande sought a way to escape his inevitable demise and sought to stop time itself by draining the four crystals of their power and creating the Cloud of Darkness. For centuries he lived unopposed until the Warriors of Light defeated him and his legion of monsters putting a stop to his nefarious schemes once and for all.
Appearance[]
Xande's default appearance is based on his Amano artwork. His skin is a deep black, while his facial hair is stark white. He dons baggy golden pants and a white cape. In addition, he wields his battle staff which hovers around the vicinity of his right arm at all times.
His first alternate 'Mortal Demon' outfit is based on his NES battle sprite, giving him a more vampiric appearance. His skin, hair and cape are recolored navy with orange accents thrown in.
His second alternate outfit 'Cloned Mortal' is based on the appearance of the Xande clones, recoloring his body orange, his pants sea green and his cap red.
His Manikin version, Counterfeit Mortal, is light green.
Battle[]
Xande is a Battlemage, who is able to combo his Brave Attacks by chaining his attacks from the Physical Branch to attacks of the Magical Branch.
Brave Attacks[]
| Move | Type | Branch | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frozen Touch | Ground | Physical | Lunges forward and uses a chokehold on the enemy, strangling them and releasing a burst of cold energy throughout their body, continually dealing weak Brave damage the longer the chokehold remains in place. |
| Spark Lance | Ground | Physical | Charges the tip of his spear with electricity and thrusts it straight forward, dealing moderate Brave damage followed by a jolt of electricity dealing low to moderate Brave damage. |
| Burning Hands | Ground | Magical | Releases a burst of fire from his hands in an outwards arc in front of him dealing low Brave damage followed by a final burst of flames for moderate Brave damage. |
| Blasting Zone | Ground | Magical | Shoots a tunnel of wind in front of him. If it connects with an enemy, traps them in a tornado dealing several weak hits of Brave damage. |
| Staff Spin | Aerial | Physical | Twirls his staff rapidly around his body, knocking the enemy far away and causing low damage. Initiates Chase. |
| Frozen Wall | Aerial | Magical | Creates a wall of ice that is propelled forward, knocking the enemy back and causing moderate Brave damage. |
HP Attacks[]
| Move | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Meteo Fist | Ground | Enchants fist with flames and launches forward, slamming his fist into the enemy. If the attack does not directly connect with the enemy, a short stream of flames are launched from his fist straight in front of him. |
| Stalagmite | Ground | Slams his staff directly into the ground beneath him, causing pillars of earth to spring forth around him. Causes massive knockback and HP damage. |
| Illusion | Ground | Creates three clones of himself-- the two outer clones use a variation of Spark Lance, holding the enemy in place with electric sparks while the third central clone uses Meteo Fist. |
| Flood | Aerial | Summons a giant tidal wave to flood the surrounding area. Extremely difficult to dodge but has a long wind-up and cool down time. |
| Thunder Flurry | Aerial | Surrounds himself in a field of electricity, causing multiple hits of moderate Brave damage. A final giant bolt of lightning is centered around Xande, causing massive Brave and HP damage. |
| Meteor Swarm | Aerial | Launches a collection of meteorites that, upon contact, create a minor explosion that can juggle the opponent between meteors causing minor to moderate Brave damage. After the first few meteors explode, a final meteorite is launched causing HP damage. |
