Strategy[edit]
The Tinpot Dictator can summon automatons in battle, the player should ignore that and concentrate on the Dictator. Maribel should use Sap twice to remove his defense. If she has learned Heal as well, then she should be the designated healer. Kiefer should be using Flame Slash and if he has learned Focus Strength, he should use that in conjunction with Flame Slash. The Hero and Ruff should use physical attacks. After the Tinpot Dictator is defeated, defeat all remaining automatons to win the battle. Make sure to save some Medicinal herbs and MP for the next fight because the party fights the Slaughtomaton after their victory.
Etymology[edit]
A tinpot dictator is a pejorative term referring to an absolute ruler that possesses poor leadership and/or organization skills. The term refers to the Victorian invention of the tin pot, an inexpensive metal disposable container that was the precursor to the tin can.
