Stats[]
Battle[]
Garland is a mage and knows the devastating Flare spell. He is vulnerable to Silence, Darkness, and Slow. He is slow and is not particularly difficult to defeat, though he uses Stop, a particularly annoying status ailment as the afflicted is considered defeated and will result in a Game Over if all party members are afflicted with it at once, but the player can use Remedy to get rid of it.
Strategy[]
Locomotion is a useful support ability to equip. It is a good idea to inflict at least one status effect on Garland. Any combination of Zidane's, Amarant's and Steiner's physical attacks, Vivi's Black Magic, Eiko and Dagger's White Magic and summons, and Quina's Blue Magic should be enough to defeat him.
