Stats[]
Battle[]
Schmidt is a flying robot-type enemy that uses laser beams, missiles, and tries to reverse the party's row positions. It is weak to Lightning, Wind, and Water.
Strategy[]
It is not a threat, as the party is riding Magitek armor while fighting it and can quickly kill it with repeated uses of the Thunder Beam ability. If Terra is in the party, she should use Magitek Missile instead.
