Battle[]
Bombs can be dangerous to fight, as after using Grow three times they will use Blowup, which inflicts heavy damage to its victim and likely KOs them if fought early in the game.
The first chance to learn Mustard Bomb for Quina is to backtrack to Lindblum after recruiting them from Qu's Marsh, and heading to Business District and exiting to the world map through the south gate. Bombs can then be found in the forests of Lindblum Plateau.
If the eidolon Fenrir's Terrestrial Rage attack is summoned on Bombs, sometimes when they use Grow, they become invisible. If the player then inflicts them with Poison or Darkness, only the status effect's graphics float in the air.
Strategy[]
Casting Sleep or Night is effective, as Bombs are not immune to Sleep status, and sleeping Bombs can be attacked with non-physical skills. Attacking with Wind, Ice, or Water-elemental weapons or skills can help, as Bombs are weak to all three, but one should avoid using Fire-elemental attacks, as Bombs absorb them. Bird Killer improves damage against them.
