Enemy Scan: Difference between revisions

*** A Librascope is a one use item (that doesn't consume TP) that's equivalent to casting Libra on every enemy in the battle, ''twice'' (which is how many uses of Libra it takes to build a complete profile on a enemy). For most mooks, you can skip the scans (good advice given that Librascopes are rare/expensive (and gil is rarely found unless you farm items, anyway) and TP requires fighting to earn) and just fight them: Any immune or absorbed elements are instantly noted after they're used, and you can get a full profile after killing four or five of the mook in question.

** Libra is also vital in ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]''. It is a technique so it costs no MP to use and it lasts quite a while. Libra will show a targeted enemy's HP, reveals any weaknesses they have, and also reveals any traps in the field. Some accessories grant Libra status automatically.

* Jeff's Spy ability in ''[[Earthbound]]'' provided a readout of the target's offensive and defensive stats.

** Its predecessor ''[[MOTHER]]'' had Check, which worked the same, but could be used by anyone and also provided a comment about the enemy.
