Subier

Subier (スービエ) is one of The Seven Heroes. He is a half octopus, half man hybrid. He has control over various sea creatures and pirates. An example of his control over pirates is his servant, Garon. He is the cousin of Wagnas.

It is very hard to get him into his second form. One way to do this is to kill the Master of Ocean. His signature move is Maelstrom, a powerful hit all water based attack.

Appearance
In his humanoid form, Subier is shown to have short green hair with a small ponytail on the back of his head. A being of two races, he has black scales covering his body. He dons violet armor on his torso and also has violet armor covering his legs.

In his initial corrupted form, Subier is shown to have succumbed to his octopus upbringing, possessing large pink tentacles where his legs used to be. His hair is a light green color and his muscular human torso is made visible on the surface. Following his defeat, he transforms into a fish-like being, with his tentacles now serving as his hair and the lower half of his body becoming similar to the lower half of a whale-like creature. His tentacles have become a violet color while his entire body retains a fleshy color.

Strategy
In his first form, depending on when you fight him, he can be strong but not too strong. He always begins the battle with Maelstrom, so it`s best to have everyone heal in the first round, after which he uses it less often. His other attacks consist of a weak line lightning attack and a powerful tentacle attack that can do up to over 1000 damage. He also has a binding attack that has the chance to stun a party member. Water magic should not be used against Subier as he recovers 999 HP each round from it. Another good way to fight him is to have a Nereid in your party, as she will be completely immune to his Maelstrom attack.
