Battle
Death Dealers fling cards at the party, which do various elemental damage depending on the suit of card. The cards can either hurt or heal the target. It uses Roulette, which instantly kills a random target. Since it always targets a random unit, and the Death Dealer only uses it as a counter when it has less than 25% HP remaining, it can take a while to get it to use it. It also only casts it once per battle, so it may be easier to Manipulate it and force it to cast it as many times as necessary to learn the enemy skill. Furthermore, his Spin Turn attack may it use twice in one turn.
The five different card-based attacks are as follows:
- Emperor - Restores HP, but as Death Dealer is immune to the restorative element, this ability always heals 0 HP.
- Hidden One - Always inflicts death.
- Star - May it use twice in one turn.
- Sun - Inflicts always Silence and Darkness.
- World - Inflicts always Stop.
Strategy
The player can cast the Enemy Skill Death Force on the character with the Enemy Skill Materia to protect it against Instant Death to enable multiple casts of Roulette in one battle. Casting it on the party and on the Death Dealer itself as well may be helpful. Unequipping Materia and accessories that boost the party's Luck stat from the character with the Enemy Skill Materia may help them being targeted with Roulette more often.
