BD II Vigintio Apocalypse

Vigintio using Apocalypse in Bravely Default II.

Apocalypse (アポカリプス, Apokaripusu?) is a spell exclusive to Bravely Default II. It is a powerful earth and dark dual-elemental magic spell available from the Arcanist job's Necromancy command.

Apocalypse is learned at job level 14 for the Arcanist job. It deals extremely powerful earth and dark-elemental magic damage to all members of the player and enemy parties. It costs 110 MP to cast.

When combined with the Red Mage's Nuisance specialty passive, Apocalypse can be a powerful debuffing move due to its dual-elemental nature, allowing it have a chance of inflicting the Slow, Stop, Dread, and Contagion statuses on the damaged targets. However, this can be counterproductive if players lack status immunity equipment and gets affected themselves.

Due to the spell's potentially detrimental nature of inflicting damage on the party, players should be careful when performing the spell, as it is the strongest dual-elemental spell and could easily wipe out the player's party without the proper elemental resistances. However, if the player has the proper earth and dark resistant equipment, combined with an Oracle's Elemental Ward Divination skill, Apocalypse can inflict minimal damage, or even heal members of the player party when used.

Vigintio is also able to use Apocalypse in battle in the Hall of Tribulation, damaging the parting heavily while healing himself and Folie due to them absorbing the dark element.


Etymology[]

Apocalypse refers to the destruction of the world, often by some catastrophic event like a natural disaster. This is reflected in the elements involved, representing a world hit by a geological cataclysm then shrouded in darkness.

Apocalypse is the name of a spell in several Final Fantasy games, though the function is not consistent and not in line with the one in Bravely Default II.
