How to Beat Guard Scorpion

Circle Towards the Back at All Times Like with Guard Spider

Guard Scorpion Prototype moves similar to the Guard Spider you battle in Banora Village in Chapter 2. Like the Guard Spider's attacks, Guard Scorpion attacks slowly. Dodge its attacks until you reach its back to deal Critical Hits. Use your Thunder Materia to deal even more damage.

Guard EM Field Instead of Dodge

Guard Scorpion has an EM Field attack that is a dome-shaped lightning attack with a large AoE. Even if you successfully dodge, you may still take considerable damage as EM Field affects the area surrounding Guard Scorpion. Guard the attack instead to reduce damage.

Special Attack Comes After Target Search

The Guard Scorpion's special attack always comes after them move, Target Search. Avoid its target until it pauses, and use this moment to attack with powerful moves.
