SOLDIERs:3rd had a powerful alternate attack called Flying Sickle, but the real danger comes in the form of their special attacks. These include attacking twice, casting Sleepel, and casting Bolt2 or Ice2. Any of these is dangerous, and the SOLDIER:3rd is more likely to use them as it loses HP. They start off at a 25% chance, and that increases by 25% for every 25% HP they lose. However, all of their Spells and even Flying Sickle cost MP, of which they only have 40, so the nasty attacks will run dry fairly quickly. Fire is effective against them. You may want to keep one alive to Steal a powerful Hardedge from.
