Kefka Palazzo/Gameplay

Kefka appears as a boss five times, of which two are cinematic and one is the final fight. Additionally, within the game's code is dummied stats for Kefka. Firstly, an enemy simply named "Kefka" appears as a dummied enemy without Kefka's sprites. Moreover, there are several stats and equipment designed for two versions of Kefka as a party member, even if he was not meant to be playable.

Boss
Kefka fights the party five times including the final battle. In all battles, save for the final one, Kefka flees or uses an illusion of himself to fight. Of the first four fights only the second is winnable—Kefka flees from the first fight after any attack, and the third and fourth battles end in cinematic scenes and have no conclusion. Two of these fights are cinematic, meaning his enemy stats are dummied, and he uses his field sprite, rather than enemy sprite. Additionally, an enemy named "Kefka" appears as a completely dummied enemy within the files.

Dummied party member stats
Even if Kefka was never meant to be playable, the developers assigned him some stats and equipment for when the party faces him. Kefka has two sets of equipment, and the first set of equipment is associated with his first and second set of stats below. He has the Morning Star, Mythril Helm, Mythril Vest, and Ribbon permanently equipped. Kefka's second set of equipment is associated with his third set of stats. He's permanently equipped with a Morning Star, Paladin's Shield, and Ribbon.

Just like the other temporary characters in the game, if Kefka is hacked into the player's party they will be unable to remove his equipment. The first set of equipment Kefka uses is during the battles in the Imperial Camp and Cave to the Sealed Gate, the second set of equipment is used during his battle against a red palette swap of Ifrit in Thamasa.

Kefka has no battle commands, not even an Attack or Items command. If he's hacked into the party, he'll freeze up the game when his turn comes up.

There are three sets of stats for him and the stats below are Kefka's raw stats, before being modified by the equipment he's wearing for the battles.
