The Armstrong is an enemy from Final Fantasy IX found on the Forgotten Continent in the Blairsurpass Plains and Seaways Canyon.
It is a house with spider-like legs, somewhat resembling the enemy Hell House from Final Fantasy VII. The "secrets" section of Final Fantasy IX Ultimania explains that the legs are cat's legs and that there are four cats holding the Armstrong up. Armstrong has a cat motif on the weather vane on its roof and a shield on its left side.
Stats[]
Battle[]
Armstrong counters with Cannon, which cuts HP in half. It can use Matra Magic, which reduces a character's HP to one though usually misses.
Strategy[]
It is recommended to use attacks such as Iai Strike, Mustard Bomb, or Frost to not have to deal with counters, or to use skills that will deal enough damage to kill it in one shot. Quina's LV3 Def-less works on it.
