Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier enters its third season with the introduction of a new batch of content titled "Highway Star". Running now through August 31, 2022, the mobile battle royale continues to grow and prove Square Enix is dedicated toward its long-term success.

We're giving the rundown on the Dragoon class, Bahamut boss and summon as well as teleport materia, abilities and more. Bahamut Boss Bahamut, also known as the King of Dragons, circles the battlefield and casts powerful aerial attacks such as MegaFlare. During a typical match, players can engage Bahamut in PvE battles once he descends after a time. To engage Bahamut sooner, simply shoot at him from specific locations on the map such as points outside Sector 5 Undercity, Corneo's Mansion, Support Pillar or the Sewer System. Because Bahamut is a strong opponent, it's recommended to face him as a team. Aerial Attacks Divebomb: Dive attack from midair.Megaflare: Powerful area-of-effect attack from midair. Ground Attacks Umbral Strikes: Fires two homing shots.Umbral Inferno: Fires multiple homing shots.Flare Breath: Short to mid-range fire attack.Spin Attack: Frontal charge attack.
