At first, Grenade Combatants will use a Hand Grenade only every fourth turn. However, once they drop to 3/4 HP, they'll start tossing them on every attack until they run out. Hand Grenades always target the Character with the lowest HP, but each Grenade Combatant only carries four. With all this in mind, you can minimize Hand Grenade usage by focusing on one Grenade Combatant at a time.
