Attack Node (Final Fantasy IV 2D)

The Attack Node is an enemy from Final Fantasy IV that appears alongside CPU and Defense Node in the Tower of Babil. In the original game, it attacks using a weak group attack that is a nuisance, but ultimately is not a large threat.

Strategy
The CPU uses Globe199 twice when both the Defense and Attack Nodes are taken out, killing two party members. Do not attack the Attack Node during battle and pick off the Defense Node, then the CPU, and then the Attack Node, using Rosa's Curaga on every turn.

Nintendo DS
In the Nintendo DS version, its Laser Barrage attack can easily deal in the high 2,800s, so it WILL kill off most of the party in one or two hits (i.e. Fusoya, Edge, Rydia, possibly Cecil and Rosa), and thus the Attack Node must be the first enemy taken down. This can be easily achieved (if it doesn't use Laser Barrage immediately) by throwing a Knife at it and melee-attacking with everyone else.

Snes
