— In-game description

Flying Sardine is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Blue Mage.

Flavor Text

The apkallu, in the wild, violently regurgitates its latest pescatarian meal at predators as a defense mechanism. In blue magic trials, Flying Sardine has proven to be an equally effective deterrent even when the sardine in question is not entirely physical, reliably shocking adversaries into silence.

Tips

Acquisition Tips

  • Apkallu is a more reliable way of leaning the spell.

Other Tips

  • This is one of two blue mage spells that can interrupt, the other being Bad Breath.png  Bad Breath.
    • Flying Sardine's instant cast allows it to be used at a moment's notice, while Bad Breath has a 2 second cast with a variety of debuffs.
    • Bad Breath is overall more-efficient for the spell slot, especially for tanks due to its Reprisal.png  Reprisal-like effect.
  • This is also useful for when you just need to tag (i.e. hit at least once) an enemy without killing them, even at high levels.
