Battle[]

The Right Orb changes color from blue, to yellow, to red. As stated by NORG in the beginning of the battle, the Right Orb will use status magic like Slow and Silence when red. However, a half-decent attack on the Orb will turn it blue again.

The Orbs can never be destroyed, and have massive Defense that renders even the most powerful attacks weak—even the Lion Heart Limit Break, which normally does several thousand damage a hit, will only do a few hundred damage to the Orbs. Even if the player does reduce its HP to 0, it will simply regenerate.

Etymology[]

Its Japanese name comes from the Turkish sol, meaning "left", and hisar meaning "fortress". A (to?) is added to the end of the first word, and a (ri?) is added to end of the second.

The English name uses "right" as it is the orb on the right from the player's perspective, while the original etymology refers to it as the one on the left using NORG's perspective.
