Causes Wind damage to all enemies.
Description
Twister deals random Wind-elemental damage and is used by Deathguise, both versions of Tiamat, Silver Dragon, and Nova Dragon. It can be learned as a Blue Magic spell for Quina by eating a Red Dragon, Abadon, or the crystal version of the boss Tiamat fought only in the Crystal World. It costs 22 MP to use. It can't be reflected and works with Return Magic.
Twister uses the following formula to calculate damage:
![{\displaystyle 55*{\text{Rand}}(1..[(Lv+Mag)-1])}](https://services.fandom.com/mathoid-facade/v1/media/math/render/svg/3438c96d14bbf7b85ae6200f95e66f1c8af64b97)
Twister ignores the target's magic defense.
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Template:Sideicon Tornado is the Feral Link of Pleuston and Clione. It deals magic damage to the target and surrounding foes and launches them into the air.
Final Fantasy XIV
Template:Sideicon Twister is used during phase 4 of the battle against Twintania, the superboss at the end of Turn 5 of the Binding Coil of Bahamut. The spell places small green tornados at the feet of several randomly-chosen players, which instantly kill any player who touches them. This mechanic requires all players to move as soon as Twintania begins casting the spell, since the twisters are placed where the player was standing at the beginning of the cast.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Template:Sideicon Twister is an ability used by Lilith. It halves the HP of enemies in an area, essentially making it an area version of Demi. It can be learned by Blue Mages, and costs 20 MP.
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
