    Tip for Dragoons: Though it is rare always look underneath where the boss likes to hangout. Are they floating above nothing? Yes? Don't use moves that involving jumping the boss. You'll be enjoying an impromptu skydiving session without a parachute. If you would like an example, the Ozma fight from the Weeping City of Mhach is probably the best example.

    the kick in the face is done when you do two of the same and a different 3rd stance, and gets you a "purple token" (IF you don't have both already, otherwise it's also a Phantom Rush)
