Rockbombs are not very aggressive. Most times, they smile strangely or otherwise waste their turn, sometimes even entering battle asleep. However, the boulders are not to be taken lightly as they are capable of self-destructing without any warning via the devastating [[Kamikazee]] spell. Strategy-wise, it is useful to remove the rockbombs first when encountering them in battle to prevent them from casting [[Kamikazee]]. This can prove more difficult in some titles over others, as some games give the bombs an ''enormous'' {{HP}} stat compared to other {{MFamilies}}s in the area.
