Stragegy

• Buffs and TP do not wear upon entry
• The Platoon Scorpions use only the AoE Scorpion specials:

• Wild Rage: Stuns those in the AoE
• Earth Pounder: Binds those in the AoE
• Sometimes after an Earth Pounder you see the message "The platoon scorpion's legs are lodged in the rocks!" which indicates that they are bound.
• Sometimes after a Wild Rage you see the message "The platoon scorpion does not have enough energy to attack!" and it stops attacking for about 10 seconds.

• They cannot be feasibly slept after the 3rd or 4th Sleep. Their Sleep resistance increases drastically when only few of them are left. Bind and Gravity are suggested.
• Lullaby is never resisted, but loses about 4 seconds of duration with each cast. By the 9th cast it wears off immediately.Error creating thumbnail: File missing

• The Scorpions can resist a Lullaby by a Bard subjob.
