Leviathan

Discover Leviathan's abilities, AP costs, and how it helps your party in Final Fantasy VIII Remastered. Learn about its unique skills like Spr Bonus and refining.

Alright, let's talk about Leviathan, one of the Guardian Forces you'll get in Final Fantasy VIII Remastered. Honestly, by the time you snag Leviathan, you might not be blown away by some of its early abilities like Mag-J or Spr-J, especially since you'll likely have learned those from other GFs already. Elem-Atk-J and Elem-Def-Jx2 are useful, sure, but probably not game-changers at this point. The real kicker with Leviathan is its potential to learn Spr Bonus. This ability is fantastic because it boosts the equipped character's Spirit by 1 every time they level up, which is a solid passive buff.

Beyond that, Leviathan brings Recover, which fully heals a target – a super handy ability that always competes for a spot on your command list. Then there's Auto-Potion, which automatically uses restorative items like Potions or Hi-Potions when your character takes damage. It might seem a bit like overkill since you can get infinite Gil and thus infinite healing items, but it's a pretty sweet form of passive healing that just handles itself.

Leviathan also has two refining abilities: Supt Mag-RF and GF Recov Med-RF. Supt Mag-RF is pretty neat because it lets you refine useful spells like Esuna, Protect, and Shell. GF Recov Med-RF lets you refine restorative items specifically for your GFs, which is… well, it’s something you can do!

Here's a quick rundown of what Leviathan can learn and how much AP it costs:
