Someone recently posted in here so I went back to read all the posts and I came across this response to my last post and I want to point something out. Yes the Coral Ring will let you Absorb Lightning but you can't learn the ability Absorb Lightning Element, you'd have to have 4 Coral Rings for your strategy to work because you need to have the Coral Ring equipped in order to absorb Lightning. I'm almost certain you'd have to wait til much later in the game to be able to acquire/synthesize 3 more Coral Rings so that you are impermeable to his Thundaga attack. Also by that time Quina has probablu learned Level 5 Death and the Level 60 Grand Dragons are an easy kill with one cast.
