Mighty Guard in FF6 is more or less useless regardless what you say. Doom fights the party that enters the door to the left and not necessarily team 1 since at that point, you can switch their positions.
I'm also told that Quasar also deals decent damage, though it's elemental (I think Ice & Thunder) unlike Grand Trine. For Step Mine charges, you could do something of a "manual bot".
Equip Molulu Charm, walk around with frameskip at 9 & throttle at 200%. You'll get close to 100 steps in 1 minute if you just randomly press buttons while inside a town or dungeon while Sprint Shoes are equipped.
We also use this technique for some level grinds where we have not time to do it, except we remove the Charm, put the cursor on Memory and autofire A button.
Some consider this a bot, but unlike other bots, this is controlled by you and you dictate what will happen instead of the bot.
As for White Wind, my Strago has about 2500 HP and with the minimal damage he takes and his immunity to Tornado, he can insta heal for that time. For Goner, I always have Strago ready with Curaga, just in case all else fails and I need time to regain my MP for Grand Trine spammage.
As for Sabin, mine's at LV 40 and Bum Rush still only does about 6000 damage on any enemy. Gogo's is actually stronger with about 8000-9999 every time. And what's worse, Sabin already has about 200 ATK and I think 150 Vigor/Strength.

You remember that Phantom Rush is considered magical damage and deals damage based on Magic stat?

Absolutely not! I know that Aurabolt, Fire Dance, & Air Blade are, but not Bum Rush.

And I'm certain it does damage based on Magic stat. Test : Situation 1 - Sabin gains a level with Bismarck. Before level he did like 6000 damage, now does a LITTLE bit more. Situation 2 - Sabin gains a level with Zona Seeker. Before level he did like 6000 damage, now does 6800.
Coincidence? Guess why I'm using +Magic espers on Sabin.

It's just luck. I also mainly raised Sabin's magic, but Bum Rush barely rose in strenght... but when I trained his Vigor...

The culprit is not the Spanish inquisition, but the version differences. Especially that version difference against Wrex Soul. Honestly, I did kill the Soul Savers with X-Zone... 10 FRIGGIN' TIMES! Before I defeated Wrex Soul by depleting his HP.
I think that they had a graphic glitch in the GBA version so that as long as there are no more enemies on the field, your team wins. And that just happens to be the case with Wrex Soul. Once he "possesses" a part member, his name is deleted and his presence is no longer acknowledged.

At least it's a minor bug, and you will not get a reward from Wrexsoul. Only MAJOR bug that still does exist is Psycho Cyan.

Ah! So it's kinda like the Vanish+Doom/X-Zone glitch in the older versions, but that's the worst kind... Most bosses are vulnerable to it, but then, no items after the battle sucks so badly, that it's not worth it... Especially if you do it to Death Gaze/Guise... nobahamutforukthnxbai!
Unless, of course, you're playing the SNES version of FF6... Then, the most serious bug would be the Sketch Bug that could delete all saved data on the cartridge. Psycho Cyan would be nothing compared to that.

I think it's obvious why you don't get a reward after Vanish+X-Zone. How are you supposed to get it if enemy is in another dimension?
Urgh. Now tell me again about Goner/Forsaken. This thing does less than 3000 damage to people with no equipment. ......... (Just trying to perform no-equip run on 4 tiers.)

Goner's damage is pretty easy to lessen by the fact that it's non-elemental and that it's magic based.
As long as your characters' Mag def. &/or Mag pow. are about 150, the damage should be just about 1500-2000. Easy to cure and easy to defend from other attacks especially since Kefka's so damn slow for a boss.
Best way to deal with Goner is to use the pure Magic users like Strago, Relm, Celes and Terra.
And, yes, Mag pow. also has a hand in helping lessen the damage. Probably why my Strago only takes, like, 500-1000 damage.

The thing is, everyone says how powerful is it. With shell and ~160-170 M.Def, it does barely 600-900 damage. I found Trine being far more dangerous in no equipment run, just because no healing = ouch. I was lucky enough to sneak between 10000 and 7680 HP of his, so he didn't use Meteor right after Forsaken, that would simply own me...
On a side-note - I defeated Kaiser Dragon two days ago (It's 8th of July here). I still don't see why all those enemies have only 65000 HP max. >_< As long as Float was included, only his physicals were strong enough to do anything (Last Breath doing 9999 everytime is NOT funny.) (I know Gau and Mog can get 255 defense and reduce that damage to ZERO, but I didn't care in being such a cheap man.)
And I found Omega Weapon being a challenge. Well, recasting Reraise every single turn is not funny... That means I'm training my party to have at least 6500-7000 HP just to survive one Grand Delta.

Grand Delta is no laughing matter... It's just that Hidon uses it so poorly that it's usually the underrated Blue Magic skill.
Bahamut and Green Beret work wonders in increasing HP due to the buffs.
Bahamut = +50% HP Green Beret = increases Stamina by a significant amount and temporarily increases HP.

Diabolos is better. +100% HP. I'm still working on magic stat of some people, though. That is, Strago and Sabin... After getting all people to 7000 HP, I'll try again.
