Normally, when Edward is low on HP, he automatically uses Hide to protect himself, but this makes it difficult for him to be healed, and renders him unable to attack. This, coupled with his mediocre stats and relatively weak equipment, makes many people see him as useless. However, there is a simple way in the GBA port to make him a force to be reckoned with. There is only one drawback to this bug; if all the other party members have fallen in battle, he will "come out" of hiding. This means little chance of the player winning the battle, as Edward is still Berserked, and will have minimal HP.
