What is Amarant's Strongest Ability?
Everyone has a method of dealing 9999 damage, whether it's Zidane's Thievery, Freya's Dragon Crest or Quina's Frog Drop. Is there something Amarant can throw or something to put his damage output into this category?

Damage will depend on level, so I hope you've levelled him up plenty. Zidane unfortunately gets an early advantage that is built into the game and keeps levelling up ahead of other characters no matter what you do (unless you keep him dead, I guess). It's basically forced easy-mode for all players who don't want to rush through the game, thanks to this (with the exception of the challenge bosses of course).

I actually used Amarant a bit more for his broken ability to both heal HP and give himself and others free MP, but he's good against aerial enemies (e.g. dragons) and with throwing (or better yet if possible Power Throw-ing). His best Flair attack is probably No Mercy. I know I used it a lot. If you've levelled him up enough, Spare Change can be good as well. (For throws, make sure you're using something with a good base damage value as well.)

From the wiki:
"Throw will do 1 damage if Amarant is in Mini status, and half damage if hitting a target with Protect. The bonus is 50% greater if the target is an aerial enemy, or if Amarant is equipped with the Power Throw ability."
