Bahamut uses a physical attack that can be evaded and mitigated with Protect. Impulse is a magic-based attack that inflicts damage on the entire party that can be mitigated with Shell. Mega Flare is a powerful magic-based attack that inflicts massive damage on the entire party. The player can use Shell to lessen damage, and Bahamut will count down from 5 to 0 before Mega Flare is used.
