A group of three Arcane Turrets serve as a sub-boss guarding the 122nd floor of Tartarus in a group of three. They are neutral to Distress, Panic, and Rage, while blocking all other ailments. It also appears as a normal enemy in the Tziah Block of Tartarus, between floors 115 to 138.
Because these sub-bosses have Ziodyne as one of their skills, bringing Aigis to this fight is not recommended due to her weakness to Electricity. Mitsuru is a recommended party member for this fight due to her Mabufu and Bufula skills despite her weakness to Fire, because she can be used to knock down the enemies and perform an All-Out Attack for heavy damage. Wind skills are also recommended over Almighty attacks, as they deal extra damage though do not knock down.
If the Arcane Turrets threaten to attack next, you can opt to pass up the All-Out Attack opportunity and force them to waste turns getting back up (P3/FES) or make them Dizzy with a follow-up Ice attack (Portable).
They will return in the second and third sections of Caina within the Abyss of Time during The Answer.
