Battle

Schrodinger is protected by its pot unless staggered, and physical attacks are ineffective when it is in that state. It can use Cura to heal itself. Its Icespark can be dangerous; if not guarded against, it can kill in one hit early in the game. Schrodinger uses Icespark usually after recovering from stagger.

Schrodinger is the only enemy in the game whose material/accessory drop is not guaranteed even when staggered; they at times drop nothing.

Strategy

It is best to stagger Schrodinger with magic, and then attack with physical attacks when it's vulnerable. The player should aim to kill Schrodinger in one stagger as it tends to counterattack with its Icespark attack if it recovers.
