Flame Eater

The Flame Eater is a boss in the game Final Fantasy VI. It is dangerous, however, it has weaknesses. It always starts out battles with Bomblet, which summons four Balloons. When used later, it can summon two Balloons or a Grenade. It attacks using Fire and Fire Ball, and has a 1/3 chance of countering attacks with Fire 2. If it is hit six times, it casts Safe and Reflect on itself, and begins bouncing Fire 2 and Fire 3 spells off itself and onto the party. This can be devistating to both the party and the strategy, so it is best to try to off it in fewer than six hits. Naturally, it is weak to ice, so Ice and Ice 2 spells work well. Strago, who just joined the party, should equip a Genji Glove and two Ice Rods, as this is the best way for him to deal damage (Unfortunately, FlameEater is not weak to water, so Aqua Rake doesn't merit much use unless it uses Bomblet). For a quick win, equip Terra with a Blizzard, a Gold Shield, a Magus Hat, a White Dress, and two Earrings, Morph her, and have her break an Ice Rod (use it as an item) onto her opponents. If Flame Eater is alone, don't be surprised to see it take 9999 HP damage. Also, try to steal Flame Eater's Flame Sabre using Locke.
