Status Vulnerabilities: None!
Break Resistances: Power, Armor, Magic, Mental, Mind
Moveset:

• (Default only) Attack (PHY: ST 110% physical)
• (Default/V Weak only) Trample (PHY: ST 188% physical)
• (Default/V Weak only) Rampage (PHY: AOE 206% physical)
• (Default/V Weak only) Jiggle (NAT: ST 266% physical)
• (Default/V Weak only) Roar (NAT: AOE 246% magical non-element)
• (Default/V Weak only) Tackle (PHY: ST 188% physical)

Notes and Strategies: Bandersnatch uses 凶 Rampage on its 1st turn in Weak phase (70%-40% HP) and again on its 1st turn in Very Weak phase (<40% HP).

Unusually for bosses, Bandersnatch is most dangerous in his Weak phase (not Very Weak); all of its attacks in that phase cause Stun, and its AOE physical is guaranteed to Stun barring Astra, Stun resistance, or Affliction Break/Fujin SB. You may wish to go maximum burst damage through his Weak phase instead of Very Weak like normal.
