Battle[]

FFIV TAY iOS Doom - Malboro Menace

Doom (iOS).

Malboro Menace is a semi-dangerous foe due to its Doom ability and thus needs to be defeated quickly. Menace Malboros also have access to their traditional Bad Breath and Bile attacks, and will follow a strict pattern of Doom > Attack > Bile > Attack > Bad Breath > Attack, and will then repeat the pattern starting back at Doom.

Strategy[]

Quake, Flare, Leviathan, and Bahamut are prime choices for magic-based attacks, while physical attacks should focus on using their best abilities at the time. Malboro Menaces can also inflict Sap and moderate non-elemental damage to the party with their Bile ability as well.

Etymology[]

The name may be a reference to Marlboro Cigarettes, since the creatures often spew horrid fumes from their mouths.
