Lick.
Abadon is an undead monster, making it weak to Holy and Fire, take half damage from physical attacks, and instantly defeated by resurrection items and abilities. Its Lick attack will deal damage and inflict Curse on a party member.
When Abadon stands up, its Vitality and Spirit increase and it will begin using spells instead. It will alternate between sitting and standing every few turns.
Squall will point out:
- 'An undead monster...'
- 'Use recovery-related magic and items.'

Final Fantasy Record Keeper[]
Abaddon has two stances, crouching and standing, kupo! When it's crouching, it only uses physical attacks, so use Protect to buff your party! When it's standing, it uses debuffs like Silence and Blind, so have Esuna ready to handle those! It also uses Dispel while it's crouching, so don't forget to cast Protect on your party again after it goes back to crouching, kupo! And remember, since Abaddon is undead, it's vulnerable to holy damage and healing magic!
Dr. Mog's Advice
Abadon appears in Final Fantasy Record Keeper as the boss of the "Great Salt Lake" Core Dungeon. As in its original game, it can change between standing and crouching stances to change attacks. When crouching it uses Claw and Tongue to deal physical damage to single targets, with Claw having a chance to Paralyze. When standing it casts Silence, Blind, and Confuse, and also has Esuna and Dispel. It is vulnerable to Holy and Fire damage, and hitting both weaknesses is necessary to receive full completion medals.
