Automatons can be encountered in the field in [[Faraday]] in the past.

They can attack twice and hit everyone in the party with [[Multislice]]. [[Multislice]] does decreasing damage, so whoever is in front will receive the brunt of the damage and whoever is last in position won't suffer as much. [[Ruff]]'s [[Aooo!]] skill has a chance of preventing the Automaton from using one of its turns, which may save you from its attack for a round or at least preventing it from attacking twice. Defeating Automatons should have highest priority before any other enemies. Lucky players can receive an [[Iron axe]] as a drop from them, which is more powerful than any weapon that can be purchased from shops at that point and for the next few islands. | ||
