Battle Edit

Veteran frequently uses Blaster to inflict Stop on the party. It also uses Instant Death spells, such as Doom and Roulette, but it itself is not immune to the status.

Strategy Edit

Locomotion is recommended to immunize the party against Stop. The player can use Iai Strike or Death to take it out in one blow. Otherwise, Amarant's No Mercy, Zidane's Thievery, and similar abilities work well with dealing with the fiend, as well as Holy, Twister, and Water.
