Stats
Battle
At this point in the game, the Kum Kum should present little challenge to the player. However, these ghost-like creatures can provide a significant EXP boost if manipulated correctly. Blucks will continue to summon them so long as the Bluck itself does not die. In an encounter with a Bluck, allow it to constantly summon Kum Kums without killing it. Depending on how long the player keeps the cycle going, a substantial amount of EXP can be gained.
In the NES version however, the Qumqum is much more of a problem. Encountering parties of three will make them harder to kill, since they have a decent chance of casting Death for an Instant Kill. Stocking up on Softs is recommended too, as they can use Brak2 if not killed quickly enough.
