Stats[]
Battle[]
On each turn, the Assault Machina has an 80% chance of using a normal attack on a random character and a 20% chance of using Pollute, which inflicts Poison. The Poison status is always inflicted if there is no protection against it.
The Assault Machina has quite a lot of HP and it absorbs Lightning. It otherwise has low Strength and Defense, with its Magic Defense being nonexistent.
The Assault Machina appears in groups with other enemies, sometimes appearing as a pair.
Strategy[]
Pollute.
It is best to attack using strong physical attacks, such as those of the Dark Knight dressphere or Berserker. Magical attacks also work, provided they do not use the Lightning element. It is wise to carry several Antidotes or have Poisonproof as the Assault Machina likes to inflict Poison with its Pollute attack.
Etymology[]
Machina is the Latin word for "machine".
