Enemy description
The long nightmare awakes. The ersatz night gives way to dawn. Come and witness the death of the king, and the death of the genesis of creation.
Overview[edit]
| “ | The generational monarch of Leithanien possesses prodigious talents and foresight. Possibly the most powerful wielder of Arts in Terra's history, he has glimpsed the truth of Originium. | ” |
| —Tooltip in ZT-S-5 |
True to his infamy as the most powerful caster Terra has ever seen, the Witch King boasts extremely high HP and RES combined with powerful Arts attacks, although his DEF is lower in comparison. He also possesses a wide variety of tricky abilities designed to blindside and punish an unprepared defense.
