Death Rider (Final Fantasy VI)

Death Rider is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI fought at the Dragons' Den, a dungeon exclusive to the Advance version. It is highly recommended to have someone on standby in order to heal, as Death Rider will counter all attacks with Pox twice. Though Death Rider's Pox isn't overwhelmingly powerful, the constant double-retaliation strikes do add up quickly. Using strong attacks, such as Sabin's Blitzes, Ultima, or simply having Vanish, will help with dealing with this enemy. Like his three sprite-sharing counterparts, it always attacks the party alone. Unlike his fellow "riders," Death Rider does not have a lance attack; Hell's Rider has Silver Lance, Test Rider has Golden Lance, and Dante has Crystal Lance.
