When Tex sneaks, she's invisible.
It really comes down to whether or not Terra has some way of seeing invisible things.
And if I remember correctly, Tex's camo also hides body heat, so that won't work.

When Tex sneaks, she's invisible.
Metaphorically or literally?

Also, when Terra goes into trance mode, all her stats double, which would presumeably make her a lot more able to find people trying to hide.

I imagine that even if Tex were literally invisible, Terra knows she is fighting someone and she would probably torch the entire battlefield. So, yeah.

Indefinite torching would not be possible - Terra is large but finite MP reserves.

Still, though. Are we talking about a literal vast expanse of nothingness? Or a limited field?

Trees are flammable. I wonder if Tex's armor is waterproof, or if it'll short out. Only safe place from a scorched island is off the beach.

Have you tried to set a tree on fire? Unless the trees are already very dry, it's damn near impossible for it to go up in flames.

They're palm trees, assuming that's a tropical island, which it looks like. Very flammable.

...

Yes, I've tried.

I don't doubt that Terra couldn't survive for long against Tex's weapons. Thing is, Terra doesn't need to aim. She can create flames wherever she wants instantly. And while Tex's suit might be able to hold up unharmed, I doubt it's prepared for flames on the inside. Also, flight is a huge advantage against a soldier used to fighting land-based troops. No matter how good her aim is, she won't be used to aiming straight up at targets, which would throw her off enough to extend the battle a bit longer.

Also, Terra's esper form doesn't even look like it's a physical entity. She looks like she is nothing but pure energy in the shape of a person. Though it doesn't matter, since it seems to take damage the same as anything. Just much slower, due to the almost doubled stats she gets in it.
So let me get this straight, Terra can instantly create fire anywhere? No ifs, no buts, just "boom, top of your spine, on fire, it burns, you lose all motor control"...


(I still want to know how Gilgamesh lost that fight)
He can't fly. And he had no ranged weapons. Terra can cast more that just fire, it's just her specialty. And flare(her second best spell) isn't fire elemental.
Why didn't Gilgamesh just lop his feet off and fly with blood-jets?

He did, after impregnating Terra! That's what I'm sayin'!

Invisibility? Dispel. Or if that doesn't work, x-zone... or would glitches be cheating?(yes) Still, scan should be ble to get around mere invisibility.

No, it's more of "boom, you erupt in flames" She can't create fire inside someone.

I would say that flames inside of the armour is also beyond the scope of the ability. What is the text of Dispel?

I don't think spells in 6 have text, but invisibility is one of the effects it can remove. And it doesn't just work on magical invisibility, because you can make naturally invisible creatures visible with it as well.
