Moes don't have any weak points. Just don't attack them with lightning magic, which they absorb.
Final Fantasy VI PlayStation Bestiary entry
Moebius, also known as Moe, is a boss in Final Fantasy VI, faced in the Dreamscape of Cyan Garamonde's soul in the World of Ruin. He, Laragorn, and Curlax make up the Three Dream Stooges.
Stats[]
Battle[]
The three stooges can cast Delta Attack when all three are present, which inflicts Petrify on a target and never misses. The only way to block it is to be immune to Petrify. Moebius can cast Haste to speed him and his brothers up, as well as Thundaga. He has no weakness, but he absorbs Lightning, so he may take a few hits to take down. He can, however, be stopped.
Strategy[]
Equipping Ribbons and Jeweled Rings is advised to protect against Petrify. Curlax should be the first to die, as he uses Arise to revive his dead siblings (he is weak to Ice and sleep). Moebius should go down next. The Flare spell works well. An easy win to defeat the brothers is to cast Ultima.

Etymology[]
A portmanteau of “Moe”, one of the Three Stooges, and “Möbius”.
Möbius strip, or simply Mobius, is a surface with only one side and only one boundary. An example of a Möbius strip can be created by taking a paper strip and giving it a half-twist, and then joining the ends of the strip together to form a loop.
In the original SNES translation, Moebius was simply called Moe, directly after the Stooges character.
In the Japanese version, Moebius is named Sueño, which is Spanish for "dream".
It is possible that Moebius is also a reference to Morpheus, the primordial Greek god of dreams.
