Description
Bombs are floating fiery monsters in Final Fantasy Tactics. They are of the Fire element are thus have a weakness to Water and have a resistance to Ice, and are immune to Earth-element attacks because of their levitation. When reaching critical HP levels, they are fond of using the Self-Destruct ability, which decimates a large area around the Bomb.
Appearances[]
Bombs first appear on the Siedge Weald (Sweegy Woods). They are known to Self-Destruct when they are surrounded. They appear in later chapters and random side battles.
