10098 on Frake in Einherjar, but then Cerberus takes more non-elemental magic damage.
As for Besieged damage, the mob in question probably had a 50% magic damage reduction trait or something. Zantetsuken damage on Khimeria mobs will also cap at 4999, Odin himself (Einherjar version) caps at 7499, and Hydra mobs are completly immune.
Damage to NMs cap at a range of 10-20% of their current HP or 9999, whichever is lower. However, percentage damage multipliers are applied after this calculation. This is why damage may exceed 9999.
Actual damage still depends on current MP at time of summon.
Some NMs may easily resist the damage. See talk page for discussion
well that definately blows >.> i never read up on how the damage math was for odin as im not a SMN and usually only see SMN at kirin and only ever 1 SMN spammi diabolos cause they arent geared/merrited/skilledup for Garuda XD dang SMN burns. You know who u r :p
What I'd like to know is has anyone ever killed more than two REGULAR XP mobs at one time with him? I've got 1549 MP and 309 smn magic skill and haven't seen odin kill more than two or even hit more than two at a time even when the mobs are VERY close together EXCEPT on non-xp mobs like in campaign or besieged.
After getting my Odin i did a 8999 on a besieged NM right out the bat, then after i zoned to Woodlands for the other normal mob test. Pulled a few mobs (5) w/ Shiva, sleepga'd them, then used Odin. Ended up only killing 4, last one was left asleep. No dmg on normal mobs, only the notice, "<mob name> has been KO'd."

They do Diablos because he can do a ranged attack vs. kirin running away from garuda every second, and his attacks are consistently ~500 where she can do 90-1400 depending on your luck :P
