Espers' Weaknesses in FF XII

In "Final Fantasy XII," legends tell the tale of espers, powerful elemental creatures who appear only to the strongest and worthiest hunters. If you defeat one of the 12 espers, it agrees to fight for you in battle. Each esper has its own element, such as fire, ice or lightning, and that element determines the monster's strength and weakness. Not all espers have a weakness, though. If an esper has no weakness, you need to rely on physical attacks to take it down.

Mateus, Belias, Famfrit and Adrammelech
- Mateus, the ice esper, has the Pisces sign and the ability to absorb all ice attacks. Mateus is weak to thunder attacks. It is tempting to use fire magic to melt its icy body, but doing so has little effect. Mateus takes half damage to any magic besides thunder. Belias is a fire esper with the Aries sign. Belias is the first esper you face in "Final Fantasy XII." It has a weakness to water magic. All other magic does half its usual damage. Famfrit, a water esper, has the Aquarius sign.
