Nimzo is immune to [[crack]], ice breath, [[woosh]], and '''all''' status ailments when in this form. Additionally, he has a 20% resistance to [[frizz]], [[sizz]], [[bang]], and fire breath. He periodically summons [[killing machine]]s and [[wrecktor]]s to assist him, and will regenerate 50 HP per round. Though he has no resistance at all to [[zap]], it is better to conserve MP for the second part of the battle. | Nimzo is immune to [[crack]], ice breath, [[woosh]], and '''all''' status ailments when in this form.
