Battle

Like the previous incarnations of Bombs in other Final Fantasy games, the Bomb will grow as it receives physical or magic attack. Each Grow increases its Strength and Magic stats by twofold. The final move will be Suicide, a move that deals damage twice the amount of health as the Bomb has upon using Suicide. Low-level Bombs, such as those found in the Fire Cavern, do not grow or explode.

If Squall encounters one with Quistis during the Fire Cavern mission, Quistis will prompt the player use an ice attack against them, and to check their weakness with Scan.

Strategy

When with other enemies, the Bomb is best defeated first. If all characters are HP Critical, it may be best to flee the battle. Low-level Bombs can be treated like any other enemy, as they never explode.
