Omega Weapon (Final Fantasy VI)

The Omega Weapon is a superboss found in the Dragons' Den in Final Fantasy VI for the Game Boy Advance and 2014 releases. Once the Kaiser Dragon has been defeated, revisiting its lair will reveal Omega Weapon in its place. The Omega Weapon is a stronger version of the Ultima Buster. Defeating Omega Weapon in the 2014 Matrix Software version earned the Congratulations! achievement.
== Stats ==
== Battle ==
Like Kaiser Dragon, Omega Weapon regenerates when killed and thus has a much higher HP total than its stats state. Compared to Kaiser, Omega's attack patterns are less diverse. Omega Weapon uses Lv. 3 Confuse, Lv. 4 Flare, and Lv. 5 Death. The only status attacks Omega Weapon uses are Freezing Dust and Delta Attack, and it uses them rarely.
Omega Weapon's attacks almost always hit everyone: Gravity Bomb, Launcher, and Heartless Angel can quickly weaken the party. Every so often Omega Weapon will slow down its attacks, gaining the protect, shell, and haste statuses, and begins charging a strong attack on its next turn. The attack depends on which "life" Omega Weapon is on and they can be: Grand Delta, Mind Blast, or Forsaken. Omega has fewer "lives" than Kaiser, and thus should fall faster.
=== Strategy ===
It is best to have upwards of 8,000 HP to be safe. Diabolos and its level up bonuses make this an easy fight.
It is recommended to have armor that absorbs elemental damage, or barring this, at least nullifies or resists elements. Party members should not be at a level divisible by 3, 4 or 5 to avoid Omega's level-based damage. Ribbons are not as important as they were when facing Kaiser. Other good relics to equip are Miracle Shoes and Celestriads.
Having a mage on standby to cast Curaga is helpful. Beneficial statuses, like protect, shell, haste, and reraise, are useful. Attacks with the Master's Scroll and the Ultima Weapon are effective, as is dual-casting Ultima. Abuse of Quick is advised.
