The Air Force is a boss in the game Final Fantasy VI. It is flanked by a Laser Gun and a Missile Bay.

[edit] Strategy

Since a lot of magic is used in this battle, summoning Zona Seeker is not a bad opener. The Missile Bay should be defeated first. It attacks with Missile, which can cause Seizure. When it gets low on HP, it begins to use Launcher. Locke can steal a rare Debilitator from it if he is in the party. Once Missile Bay is defeated, summoning Kirin for Regen can be helpful. Laser Gun should be killed next. It uses powerful magic such as Atomic Ray that affects all characters, as well as Tek Laser. When it gets low on HP it begins using Diffuser instead of Atomic Ray, which is actually weaker. During this time, Air Force itself uses Tek Laser and Diffuser until both of its allies are defeated.

Once both Missile Bay and Laser Gun are defeated, Air Force launches a Bit. The Bit does not attack; it is a permanent Runic and prevents any Magic from being used or Espers being summoned. It should be defeated as quickly as possible so party members can use spells again. Air Force will begin counting down from six without attacking, and when it reaches zero, it uses WaveCannon, a very powerful Lightning-elemental attack used against all characters. It then resets the counter, but starts at three instead.

The same basic strategy should be used against all three parts. Thundara spells work well (for best results, use Terra or Relm), as does Wind Song. Mog can also try Water Rondo, as El Nino deals a lot more damage than Wind Slash due to weaknesses, and Plasma shows up more frequently. However, Wind Slash is the home dance, so it doesn't have a chance of failing. If Gau is around, he can use Chimera for Aqua Rake, which Strago can use. If Locke is around, it is a good idea to try and Steal the Debilitator from Missile Bay. Once the Bit is launched, physical attack should be used against it until it dies. Locke's Hawk Eye, or the Ultima Weapon, yield the best results here, as the Bit has high defenses.
