An existence that wishes for all to return to nothingness. She has transcended the abstract and is the embodiment of fear. In Final Fantasy III, she had been defeated by a flood of light 1000 years earlier. However, a flood of darkness created by Master Xande allowed her to return. Seeing the imbalances of light and darkness in the world, she decided to destory all existence. The two tentacles at her right and left have differing special abilities. It is rumored their personalities are different as well.
What Cloud of Darkness lacks in mobility, she makes up in with a variety of HP attacks. A skilled player can easily ensnare opponents with her massive armament of particle beams. Almost every attack has a certain applicaton and analyzing the situation quickly is key to success. Aside from her generally slow movement, she is also handicapped by an absolute shortage of brave attacks. While her brave attacks aren't necessarily bad, their range is limited, making Cloud of Darkness a fairly difficult character to begin with. Her EX Mode and EX Burst are both very potent. The "cool-down" time of her HP attacks are more than halved while in EX Mode, allowing players to unleash a barrage on their opponents. Her burst is fairly easy to pull off and is among the best in the game. A decently equipped and leveled Cloud of Darkness's burst usually always guarantees a HP break on the opponent.
