Battle

Silicon Tortoise is alow and is more likely to use magick when the party is further away, but uses Flash to blind them when close. It uses Flatten, a physical attack, to deal area damage in its vicinity. If afflicted with ailments it will heal itself. It uses Meditate when low on MP and when its target is so far away it can't attack them. It attacks the party member with the highest enmity, and thus may target healers unless there is someone else with Lure in the party. It does not leave its patrol area.

Strategy

An easy way to defeat the Silicon Tortoise at lower levels is to obtain a gun with an attack power of 30 or higher, and some Wyrmfire Shot. The player should inflict the Oil status on the tortoise and have the character equipped with the aforementioned ammo. The player should be able to take 6,000+ hit points per shot. If this person is berserked, they can reach the damage cap per shot (original version) if they are around level 20.
