GIM52A

GIM52A is a boss in Final Fantasy VIII appearing with the Galbadian Elite Soldier. It also appears as a normal enemy in the D-District Prison, the Lunatic Pandora and during the Battle of the Gardens. Its Micro Missile attack halves the targets current HP, and it drops the Missile item that allows Quistis to learn this spell for her Blue Magic.
GIM52A is one of the few enemies that lacks a Triple Triad card.
==Stats==
==Boss battle==
Two GIM52A models appear in a boss fight, accompanied by an Elite Soldier. Both models heavily use their signature move, Micro Missiles, and occasionally ram into a random character with a physical attack. While both attacks are fairly damaging, they only target one party member at a time.
The soldier has only one offensive spell, Meltdown, and otherwise spends the fight casting supportive and healing spells on the models.
===Strategy===
It is advisable to focus on taking out the soldier first. He has low HP and should go down after only several physical attacks. A model buffed by the soldier should be quickly weakened by Dispel. The player can also mitigate the duo's onslaught by casting Slow on both models, since despite having access to the spell, GIM52As are not immune to it. Due to GIM52A's elemental affinities, the best damaging tools against them are Thundara and Water spells, as well as the Quezacotl and Brothers GFs.
