Justice Monsters Five Guide
Justice Monsters Five is a popular pinball game in the world of Final Fantasy XV. JMF machines can be found in all Crow’s Nest Diners, as well as the cafe where Alessio hangs out in Altissia.
The game’s main objective is to shoot pinballs called orbs at enemies in the game and deplete their HP. Each set of enemies is called a wave. After clearing a wave, you will move on to the next. Enemy bosses may occasionally appear after a few waves, and have more HP than regular enemies.
At the start of the game, you are given four random orbs that each have HP. You will lose the game once all four of your orbs are destroyed.
Game Basics
Controls
| Input Command | Description |
|---|---|
| X Button | Tap the button to shoot and hold it to charge the orb. A charged orb can use one of three special properties: burst climb or pierce. |
| Left Analog Stick | When shooting or charging an orb: slice an orb that allows it to spin which affects it trajectory |
| L1 and R1 Buttons | Selects an orb |
| Triangle Button | Swaps an orb |
| Square Button | Use the Hero Tech |
| Circle Button | Quit |
Shot Types
- Simple Shot: Tapping the X Button performs an instant shot with no delay. You can fire orbs rapidly this way to take out nearby enemies.
- Charged Shot: Holding the X button and releasing it will perform a shot with special properties. Take note that charged shots have a delay before they are released, so be sure to time them well.
Charged Shot Properties
| Type | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Burst | Indicated by a blue orb marked with a “B”. Burst shots explode upon impact that deal additional damage. |
| Climb | Indicated by a red orb marked with a “C”. Climb shots can scale walls that allow you to hit enemies from behind. |
| Pierce | Indicated by a yellow orb marked with a “P”. Pierce shots penetrate through enemies to hit specific weak points and to damage a line of enemies. |
Hero Tech
A blue bar on the right of an orb’s icon will gradually fill up. When it is full, press the square button to perform a Hero Tech. The Hero Tech unleashes an orb’s true power and may either heal or deal a powerful attack on enemies. A good way to take advantage of this powerful ability is to select a different orb that is currently not in play (but not swapping to it) before activating the Hero Tech. This will cause the selected orb to join the game for a short period after using its Hero Tech, allowing you to attack with two orbs on the board at once temporarily.
Elements
Orbs in JMF are infused with various elements. Be mindful the weaknesses of different enemies to inflict maximum damage on them.
