Strategy
Bullfinches are tough enemies that can consistently hit 10s and higher. When encountering a group, some may be found asleep and will be awoken if attacked.
Tips for Combat:
- Target the ones that are already awake first since those asleep will not do anything during their turn.
- Be extremely cautious when using a boomerang or Jessica's whip as that will sure wake all of them up.
- Treat with Medium Priority based on whether they are awake or asleep.
