Summon with the Summoner's !Summon command, or !Call if you're feeling lucky. Summon magic can NOT be reflected.

 

For brevity's sake, on this page I'm shortening magic defense to MDef, evade rate to evade, magic evade rate to MEvd, and magic power to magic.

The basic damage formula for pretty much everything is Damage = (A - D) * M. It's what goes into A, D, and M that makes things interesting.

Since M acts as a damage multiplier, anything that modifies M modifies final damage. Modifiers to A and D have more complicated effects on final damage because A and D are compared to each other on the way to computing final damage.

 

Summon Creatures
　チョコボ　　 ChocoboMP: 4

Optional. Chobobo is one of the few summons that is bought (for 300 gil) rather than won.

チョコボキック　　Chocobo Kick

Physical damage to one enemy. Evasion also works like a physical attack. Hits unless evaded or blocked.

A = Random(30,33.75), D = defense, M = (level * magic)/256 + 4.
デブチョコボ　　　Fatso Chocobo

Physical damage to all enemies. Always hits. 8% chance of occurring instead of Chocobo Kick.

A = Random(75,84.375), D = defense, M = (level * magic)/256 + 4.
　シルフ　　　 SylphMP: 8

Optional. Sylph is one of the few summons that is bought (for 350 gil) rather than won.

Despite being a draining attack of sorts, Wind's Murmur works normally against undead targets. The recovery also works normally on the undead, unlike most healing, so feel free to use it when someone's wearing Bonemail.
