Tips

• See testimonials and discussions.
• They're all immune to non-elemental damage. Damage each of the bombs in the respective element they are weak to. Recommended element damage: Fire, ice, and water. More elements needed if you are not OTKOing both parents.
• Use a physical cover tank, preferably with 100% evasion.
• Use elemental resistance buff and gear. Recommended element resistance: Fire and ice.
• As the parent bombs use ATK/MAG buffs every turn, you might want to either dispel them or use better evasion/resistance. The smaller bomb will cast 30% imperil (can be provoked).
• If you are not pushing any threshold on the parent, only Fire Bomb Junior (weak against ice) and Thunder Bomb Junior (weak against water) will spawn.
• All Bomb Juniors have summon limit.
• The most common strategy is to leave the parents alone, but kill Fire and Thunder Bomb Juniors every time they spawn (with ice and water) until you have accumulated enough LB and esper. Use DEF break, and then kill everyone on the same turn, e.g. kill Mom Bomb using ice-elemental LB and kill Dad Bomb using fire-elemental chain.
• Though the bomb juniors will use Self-Destruct in their respective element, Stone Bomb Junior will do wind magic damage and Wind Bomb Junior will do stone magic damage instead.
• Recommended units:
  • Onion Knight is very good in this fight, as he can chain, cover several elements, buffs elemental resistance, and massive DEF break (LB).
  • Kunshira is also very useful, being able to cover many elements.
  • Warrior of Light and Veritas of the Earth can cover physical AoE and provoke altogether. 100% evasion gears and extra fire-ice resistance are recommended as he will provoke the Bomb Juniors' Imperil as well.
