Temptress



Temptress has decently high stats and cannot be hit by your physical attack. It's best to avoid it due to this. However, if you use Compression successfully, it'll be low enough to use your staff. It does keep moving around, so you still need to be patient to wait for the staff icon to show up.



Sprite in the remake instead no longer has a flying change, as the game is no longer in 3D. This makes it massively easier to hit. Since both of its spells are projectiles, it can be useful for defense grinding or restoring Magic Points via Confusion.
