Battle[]
Desert Sahagin only possesses two attacks and it poses little danger to the party. Its Sandgun attack may inflict Darkness on one character.
Due to a bug when any unit (ally or enemy) takes any action, there is a 1/16 chance that its Defense rises to 512, but this never resets to 32 as intended, meaning all physical attacks from then on will deal just one point of damage.
Strategy[]
L4 Suicide can weaken them, and Ice magic or Matra Magic will finish them off easily.
