It uses Missile, Launcher, and Diffractive Laser often, all of which can be dangerous. Like the other enemies in the Ancient Castle, it has Auto-Reflect; however, its magic defenses are not terribly strong, and as with most machines it is weak to Lightning. A useful strategy against them is to cast Reflect on one of a party member, then reflect Thundaga spells off of them. Aqua Breath, Tsunami, and in the Game Boy Advance release, Flood, all bypass Reflect and hit another weakness of the Armored Weapon.
