Midgar No. 1 Reactor, Midgar Sector 7, Gold Saucer
Sweepers are the most dangerous normal Monster in the Midgar No. 1 Reactor by a wide margin. They won't go down so quickly with 140 HP (unless you cast Bolt), and their attacks are twice as powerful as the Grunts they often appear with. You'll only find them near the save point, thankfully. They usually aim their most powerful attack, W Machine Gun, at the Character with the highest HP, though they will use their lesser basic attack on whoever has the lowest HP instead. Smoke Shot appears to have been intended to inflict Darkness, but it does not and thus serves as just a basic alternate attack.
This Mako Reactor sentinel just loves riddling trespassers full of bullets.
