Desperation Attack

A Desperation Attack is a special attack unique to each character in Final Fantasy VI. When a character is in Near Fatal Status, there is a 1 in 16 chance that the character will perform this move when he or she uses the Fight command. A character would automatically enter Near Fatal Status when their HP drops to 1/20 of their max. It is important to note that Strago Magus and Gogo can achieve Near Fatal Status without losing their HP. If the enemy has 1/20 of its max HP remaining, Strago and Gogo can use Rippler to retrieve it (see Rippler Bug for more information). All Desperation Attacks are unblockable and defense ignoring. Each character's Desperation Attack is as follows:


 * Terra: Riot Blade: Deals physical damage to one enemy. It's Battle Power is 142.
