Final Fantasy VI PlayStation Bestiary entry
The Hell's Rider (simply abbreviated as Rider in some translations) is a boss in Final Fantasy VI battled during the imperial attack on Narshe. It patrols in front of Kefka. The player can avoid it, but it is difficult. If the player does manage to avoid it, it will still be there running back and forth in the World of Ruin.
Stats
Battle
Hell's Rider fights alone, a trait he shares with his three palette swap counterparts: Dante, Test Rider, and Death Rider. It uses normal attacks, Venomist that inflicts Poison on the party, and its special attack, Silver Lance, a strong physical blow. It counters attacks with Reverse Polarity, shifting the attacker's row. Locke can steal a valuable Mythril Vest from it, but the Rider will counter with Silver Lance.
The Rider is one of the few non-randomly encountered enemies to appear on the Veldt and have a Rage.
Strategy
Gau can use the Mu Rage and hope for Snare. His Commander Rage sometimes uses Break, killing the Hell's Rider instantly. Another method is to have Cyan use Tiger to halve its HP and give it Sap.
