Battle[]

The CPU is protected by the Defense Node and Attack Node. CPU will cast Reflect on itself. If the player takes out both nodes CPU will use Globe199 (which deals 9999 damage to a single target) twice, killing two party members. In the SNES version CPU uses Globe199 to counter a physical attack.

Strategy[]

The player should have everyone attack the Defender until it is out. Most magic will bounce back. The player should let the Attacker attack the party, and have Rosa group-cast Curaga while the others attack CPU. After the CPU loses all its health the player can finish off the Attacker.

The fight becomes easy if Fusoya uses Meteor and Rydia uses Quake (or Bahamut).

AI script[]

Phase 1:
