"A high-tech Magitek killing machine. Attacks with a variety of methods."

—Final Fantasy VI Playstation One Bestiary entry

The Io is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI. It attacks with spells such as Diffuser and Wave Cannon, and its special attack Crush, a stronger physical blow. Since the team is wearing Magitek Armor, the best strategy is to use Thunder Beam with most characters, and Magitek Missile with Terra.

Io makes a useful Rage for Gau, as it can cast Flare Star, which increases in power as the target's level increases. This makes Flare Star very powerful against bosses that do not absorb Fire. Flare Star's damage is also unaffected by how high (or low) the user's stats are, making the Io very useful for players attempting a low-level run of the game.

EtymologyEdit

In Greek mythology, Io was the name of a priestess who was transfigured into a white heifer and eventually restored and wed by Zeus. Io is also the name of a moon of Jupiter known for its extreme volcanic activity.
