Henwen

From FFXI Wiki
General Notes
  • Resistant to Slashing, Piercing, and Magic damage, but vulnerable to Blunt.
    • Of the magic elements, wind does the most damage
  • Possesses Double Attack and Triple Attack traits.
  • Because of Zealous Snort, he attacks very fast and gains an incredibly high counter and guard rate.
    • Due to the Haste gained from Zealous Snort, his counter, and normal single/double/triple attack rate, he continually attacks at an insane rate.
      • The Counter and high multi-attack rate make Barreling Smash's hate reset very dangerous. If the effects of Zealous Snort are not dispelled and the hate reset connects then a DD will be dead in seconds. RDM recommended to keep all the buffs Henwen gives itself off.
  • Can use Invincible, Elemental Sforzo
  • Has access to Terrifying Snap, a short Terror + Damage conal move.
    • Terror effect can be resisted with high enough Magic Evasion
  • On V25, will use an SP ability, spawn an add, and gain a "*-Down" aura at both 75% and 40%. Note the *-Down aura at 40% may change or be the same as the previous one.
  • Unaffected by Leviathan's Tidal Roar.
