Reflux

Reflux is a Mars Djinni found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age, and is numerically the thirteenth Mars Djinn found overall and the sixth found in The Lost Age.

Location
Reflux is found in a sliding ice puzzle room in Tundaria Tower. It must be battled.

As an Opponent
Reflux has 756 HP, 69 PP, 231 Attack, 68 Defense, 199 Agility, and 23 Luck.

It can do a standard attack as well as cast Inferno, Eruption, Fiery Blast, Supernova, and Serpent Fume.

When felled it yields 794 EXP and 563 coins.

Description
When Set, it increases base HP by 9, base Defense by 3, and base Luck by 2.

When used, the user does nothing for the rest of the turn, unless damaged by an enemy, in which case the user will automatically counter attack with a physical attack converted to Mars damage.

Analysis
Reflux can be a bit problematic to use. If struck by an enemy, a counter attack can be good. But the enemy could also fell your Adept the same turn, making its effect useless. Also, if the enemy chooses not to attack the Adept, it is basically a waste of a turn, as the turn could have been used for doing more damage.

Name Origin
Reflux is a process that involves boiling the contents of a vessel over an extended period of time. It is very widely used in industries that utilize large-scale distillation columns and fractionators such as petroleum refineries (petroleum is highly flammable).
