Floating enemies: Difference between revisions

The '''Floating "family"''' is a loosely connected assortment of {{MFamilies}}s that in older titles shared a vulnerability to Wind-elemental attacks such as the [[Woosh]] spells, as well as the [[Flying Knee]] and [[Wing-Clipper]] skills. Recent games also grant the group an immune to any one-turn stun moves that attempt to knock the target down and a resistance to Earth-element attacks such as the [[Crag]] spells. Unlike actual families, there is no single unifying theme to the group aside from the aforementioned weakness and resistance, and even that is tenuous.  

"Floating" is something of a misnomer, as several monsters are shown with their feet planted firmly on the ground and yet are classified as such, where as some monsters that hover in place (such as the [[wraithwand]]) are exempt.

==={{DQ10}}===

Floating monsters are fully immune to the [[Rubblerouser]] spell line, and take 20% more damage from the [[Harvest Moon]] skill.

[[Erik]]'s series of soil spells are resisted by all floating enemies, with the degree of resistance varying between species, and Harvest Moon's damage multiplier has been raised to 250%. Additionally, certain co-op techniques cannot reach flying monsters at all nor can any knock down abilities.
