Learn how to use Bobbery's explosive abilities in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door! Discover his stats, field moves, and battle skills to maximize your advantage.
Alright, let's talk about Bobbery, the explosive partner you get later in the game. He might seem a bit rough around the edges, but his unique abilities can really turn the tide in battle and help you explore!
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Max HP: 20
- Attack: 4
- Defense: 0
- Elemental Affinity: Fire (absorbs fire attacks, multiplies when hit by fire)
Field Abilities:
- Explosive Toss: Press [X] to throw Bobbery. He'll walk a short distance and explode. This is super handy for flipping switches or getting a surprise First Strike on enemies. If you press [X] again right after throwing him, he'll explode right where he lands, which can be useful for hitting enemies up close.
Battle Abilities:
- Bomb: Hold [A] until the star lights up, then release. This attack deals 4 damage to most enemies, but it'll do 5 damage to fire-elemental enemies. It's your bread-and-butter attack with Bobbery.
- Bomb Squad (Costs 3 FP): Press [A] while the target cursor moves across the screen. This lets you aim where three mini-bombs will land. After a few turns, these bombs will detonate, dealing damage to enemies. It's a great way to hit multiple foes or set up a big damage turn.
Tips
- Bobbery's 0 Defense means he can't take hits well, so protect him when you can!
- His Bomb attack is especially effective against enemies that aren't fire-based.
- Use his Field Ability wisely to set up advantageous battles or bypass obstacles.
