** Zig-Zagged with Debilitate. It's practically required for any of the [[{{Superboss}}superbosses]] (and they'll use it on you as well), but if you know the Mantra grid you can go for it pretty early on, and it makes a lot of storyline bosses a ''complete joke''. Especially since bosses don't start using Dekunda until the endgame.

** [[BitchInSheepsClothing Serph Sheffield]], when placed in charge of the Karma Society's God Project, began using everyone and anything around him in his quest to [[AGodAmI attain the power of God for himself]]. Serph uses Sera's growing love for him to push her PsychicPowers into further maturation, only to express disgust at Seras creation of a virtual paradise consisting of [=AIs=] she uses to escape the pain of his experiments. When Colonel Beck proposed to change Seras paradise into a training simulation for creating stronger [=AIs=], Serph overrides Heat O'Brien's warning against destroying Seras mental condition and tells Beck to proceed. After a desperate Heat pulls a gun and demands the project to stop, Serph tells Heat that a human's mind is no different than a machine, and that his subjects, including Sera, [[WeHaveReserves were expendable and could be replaced]], before manipulating Argilla into killing Heat. After being turned into a demon by a heartbroken Sera, sending a massive data surge into the now black Sun, Serph goes on a killing spree starting with Beck and Argilla before being killed offscreen. Refusing to accept that he is dead, Serph reappears at the EGG facility as Solar Data and tries to kill the [=AI=] Serph and Heat while proclaiming to have the power of God. A cruel and manipulative young man, his actions are largely responsible for the disasters plaguing the series.

* TierInducedScrappy: Cielo in the first game, due to his iffy stat distribution and weakness to ''all status ailments''. This is possible to fix with Null Ailment, but this is usually only obtained very late in the game. He is RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap somewhat in the sequel due to better stat distribution and only being weak to just three ailments (Charm, Nerve, and Panic).
** Second to Cielo is Heat. While he does have high strength growth, his low magic leaves a lot to be desired. Because the magic stat is also tied to magic defense, high level and even mid level magic attacks can sap his HP away in an instant. This is especially painful late game, where most enemies either null/reflect/absorb physical attacks and often come equipped with high level magic attacks. His replacement in the sequel, Roland, fares a bit better due to have more balanced stats like Gale.
