Adroa is an enemy in Final Fantasy XIII. It is the mark of the Cie'th Stone missions 04 and 11.

Mission

04 - A Hero's Charge

Mark: Adroa
Locale: Yaschas Massif - The Ascendant Scarp
Class: D

You mean to tell me my Focus is to hunt that one-eyed adroa that plagues the Ascendant Scarp? Did I really need to be made a l'Cie to go hunting? Did I not do that every day? Are l'Cie not meant to fight Cocoon? Is that not the reason I left, boasting of the feats of heroism I would accomplish?

...Am I never to return home again?

11 - Pride Before a Fall

Mark: Adroa
Locale: Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
Class: C

My Focus this time appears to be dispatching an adroa on the Archylte Steppe. I don't know how many years have passed since the fal'Cie last called upon me, but there seem to be more beasts about.

Not that it matters. Provided I can complete my Focus and retain my master's favor, I will never die. And a little hardship is a small price to pay for an eternity of peaceful dreaming.

Stats

Battle

Adroa's physical attack deals 111-116 damage, while Fira, Blizzara, Thundara and Watera all deal 173-190 damage in an area of effect. After one attack, if there are four or fewer enemies and two or fewer Verdelets in the battle, it can use Conjure to summon Verdelet. Summoned enemies do not drop anything, making Conjure a nuisance. Although not magical, Conjure is affected by Fog.

Adroa should be staggered with Smart Bomb (RAV/RAV/SAB) or Tri-disaster (RAV/RAV/RAV) paradigm and dispatched with Relentless Assault (COM/RAV/RAV). A high-level party can quickly dispatch it with Devastation (COM/COM/SAB) after bestowing Bravery/Faith with a Synergist.

Etymology

Adroa is the god of the Lugbara people. He is the creator of Heaven and Earth and appears to people before they die. Adroa is split into two halves that represent good and evil, with the evil side being depicted as short and black in color.
