The Veteran is a flying demon enemy from Final Fantasy IX. The party can find it in Ipsen's Castle and Memoria.
Stats[]
Battle[]
Veteran frequently uses Blaster to inflict Stop on the party. It also uses instant death spells, such as Doom and Roulette, but it itself is not immune to the status.
Strategy[]
Locomotion is recommended to immunize the party against Stop. The player can use Iai Strike or Death or Odin to take it out in one blow. Otherwise, Amarant's No Mercy, Zidane's Thievery, and similar abilities work well with dealing with the fiend, as well as Holy, LV4 Holy, Twister, and Water.
