Tornado

In Final Fantasy VIII, Tornado (トルネド) is a high-level Wind-elemental magic spell, an upgrade from Aero. It deals significant damage to all enemies and can be junctioned to absorb or inflict Wind-elemental damage. Obtaining Tornado is challenging, as it can only be drawn from high-level or difficult enemies. Alternatively, players can refine Windmills using Quezacotl's T Mag-RF ability to get 20 Tornado spells, or refine 10 Aero spells into one Tornado spell using Alexander's High Mag-RF ability. Casting Tornado in battle increases compatibility with certain Guardian Forces, such as Pandemona, Quezacotl, Eden, and Bahamut. Besides being used as an attack spell, Tornado can also be junctioned to character stats, increasing attributes like HP, Strength, and Magic. Enemies like Bahamut, Behemoth, and Cerberus also use Tornado.
