BattleEdit

Like the lesser Bombs, the King will use Grow after every third physical attack, however, he will not Self-Destruct as is common for this species. Each stage of growth is accompanied by a change in attack. At the start of the battle, King will Bash one party member for moderate physical damage. After the first growth, he will use Fira; after the second, Firaga; and when he has reached his peak, will begin to cast Ultima. Counterattacks will not cause Bomb King to grow, so this is useful to avoid the heavy damage in later stages.

StrategyEdit

A good strategy is to equip party members with Magic Counter weapons and Fire Eater armor. Once the Bomb King has grown once and begun casting Fira, his attacks will heal party members, but their counterattacks will not cause the King to grow. Using Haste on the Bomb King will speed up the battle substantially using this strategy.

The Bomb King will drop two to four slotted armor (with Defense +5%, +10%, or +20%) and two to four slotted weapons (with Strength +5%, +10%, or +20%).
