What would cause the train to pull Elf Fire before I can even press the A button? this isn't a counter, every type of attack I can throw at it illicits no response. It's doing this randomly, entirely on his own. What about the Albatross's throwing fireball? I didn't even have to touch them for those things to start spamming it, whats the trigger I'm somehow hitting? Because it didn't matter if I was actually hit the thing or leaving it alone, or if there was only one left, or two left, they still used it. And why do the zombies in the train have Doom that they can randomly activate? I have no healers or even way to prevent that, and they do it whenever they feel like without warning, the same way they cast infect.
And hell, even those demons, what can I even do to avoid Elf Fire, because those demons use Elf Fire on their own if I do nothing....and use Elf Fire if I kill them with anything but Blitz, throw, and a specific bushido(mind drain). That doesn't seem like an avoidable trigger,especially if they have other units. And what about the train? How did I trigger that thing? I didn't even press A, all I "did" but have cyan and Sabin hit the thing with their attacks, and that doesn't trigger the thing to use Elf Fire normally, nor does it do it in any letsplay I watched.
Edit: I'll get some screencaps to run, I'm not exactly perfectly built but I still can't fight enemies that insta-gib me before I can even heal
