Gold Dragon Script

Script: Gold Dragon (Dragon's Den)
Length: 89 bytes
AI Level: Advance
By: Lord Envoy
Description:
This is the script from the Gold Dragon in FF6A Dragon's Den. It's design is a bit advance since there is multiple triggers for other attack sequences. It's AI will prompt you at the beginning of battle with a message of it absorbing magic. So it's only natural that it's AI mostly focuses on Normal Attacks with some Special Attacks. It's AI does use some Magical Attacks that aren't absorbed by the skill "Runic" since it is absorbing magic. However when it's HP falls below 25600, the AI "buffs" itself with a hidden status which triggers a new attack sequence. As long as it is inflicted with this hidden status, it will pummel your characters with multiple Normal, Special, and Magical Attacks.

Battling Gold Dragon:
This monster is identical to the "Gold Dragon" found in the FF6 remake "FF6 Advance". It has about 60,000 HP and a script about 89 bytes long. I designed it just for the purpose of other players to challenge it. Especially if they don't have the FF6A game. As with the other Dragons, the Gold Dragon is encountered again in the Dragons' Den. This time it negates magic spells and absorbs them similar to Runic. However, it will only have an effect on spells normally absorbed by Runic. The new Flood spell works well against the upgraded Gold Dragon, as it won't be absorbed and the dragon's weak against water attacks. Also, this version of Gold Dragon mainly uses physical attacks. Thus, Espers like Phantom and Fenrir will be of a major help in this battle.
