Battle
After a certain amount of time has passed (5 or 6 attacks of Plant Brain), or if Plant Brain takes a total of 916 damage, Blank will join the battle. Alternatively, Blank will arrive when Zidane is KOed or his health bar goes to a Near Death state. Blank does not appear immediately if the player enters the battle with Zidane knocked out. Once Blank appears, Plant Brain's health resets to 458 HP whatever the mean by which Blank appeared: damage, time, or Zidane's state.
Plant Brain's Pollen ability can blinds the party and limit their physical attacking capabilities, although it will not hamper Steiner's Sword Magic.
Plant Brain's most damaging attack is Thunder that hits the whole party.
Strategy
At the start of the battle Zidane should attempt to steal Plant Brain's Iron Helm, while Vivi should use Focus and Steiner should be on standby to heal the party with Potions.
Once Blank arrives, he and Zidane should attack using normal physical attacks. Vivi and Steiner should cast Fire and Fire Sword, respectively.
