CPU (Final Fantasy IV 3D)

The CPU is a boss from Final Fantasy IV. It is the penultimate non-optional boss the party encounters in the main storyline. The controlling unit of the Giant of Babil, CPU directs the giant's actions. Cecil and company realize CPU is the giant's only weak point, and fly the Enterprise inside to stop the war machine.

== Battle ==
The CPU is protected by the Defense Node and Attack Node. CPU will cast Reflect on itself. If the player takes out both Nodes, CPU will use Object 199 (which deals 9999 damage to a single target) twice, killing two party members.
=== Strategy ===
The player should finish off the Attacker immediately, as it has low HP, but high Attack power. A single Laser Barrage could potentially wipe out the weaker party members in one hit.
The player should defeat the CPU next, because destroying both Nodes causes the CPU to use Object 199, and the CPU has no attacks whatsoever without its Attack Node. Any summon except Titan can be used to damage the Attack Node and CPU simultaneously, while leaving the Defense Node untouched, to prevent Object 199 from triggering. The Defense Node is equally helpless after that. If the player gave Rosa the dualcast augment, they could use Dispel followed by Slow or Holy to slow the CPU and its nodes.
