Slots (Final Fantasy VI)

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Slots is the special ability of Setzer Gabbiani in Final Fantasy VI. The command consists of three spinning slot reels, which the player stops one by one. The outcome determines the attack Setzer uses. Slots are often rigged against the player, but knowledgeable players can rig Slots in their own favor so that they have a better chance of a favorable outcome, usually by using an Echo Screen at the start of battle before using Slot. The following is a description of the attacks Setzer can use with Slots. All custom Slot attacks are unblockable and are based on Setzer's magic power.

[edit] Trivia

• Lagomorph is a word for the order of animals to which rabbits and hares belong. This spell is identical in appearance to the Ranger's Mysidian Rabbit ability in Final Fantasy V. Mysidia was a town of wizards in Final Fantasy IV; as such, the rabbit is dressed in standard Black Mage attire.
