Final Fantasy VI PlayStation Bestiary entry
The Proto Armor, formerly ProtoArmor, is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI. The Proto Armor appears on the Veldt, but it does not have a Rage.
Stats[]
Battle[]
When with other enemies, it uses Magitek Laser or its special, Program 35, every turn. When alone, or when attacked with a normal attack, it has a 33% chance to use Launcher, greatly reducing the HP of the party. Like most enemies in the Magitek Research Facility, it also has high Defense.
Strategy[]
Thunder and Thundara spells make quick work of it. Inflicting silence on it prevents it from using Magitek Laser, Launcher, and Scintillation. Edgar's Bioblaster/Flash and Sabin's Rising Phoenix also work well.
