Heavy Armored Soldier

Heavy Armored Soldier is a boss in Chapter 3 of Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-. He is a very strong warrior, and armed in a series of very strong weapons. In the first third of battle, he will use an easily dodged rocket-launcher. Then in the second two thirds, he will attack with his sword in close-range, and a machine gun when the player runs up to the second floor. Since the sword attack is incredibly strong, fighting him from a ranged position is recommended. In the last third, he will use a very powerful sword attack. He can be easily beaten in this phase by switching to Galien Beast to quickly finish him off.
