Ruffian (enemy)

A Ruffian is an enemy encountered during scripted battles in the prologue sequence to Golden Sun: The Lost Age. He is a thug from Lalivero who joins other ruffians and soldiers from the Tolbi military in confronting Jenna at Venus Lighthouse.

Ruffian has 29 HP, 24 Attack, 6 Defense, 11 Agility, and 3 Luck. They are evenly resistant to all Psynergy elements, although at this stage of the game, you'd only have access to Mars Psynergies. Status-wise they are actually the second-weakest enemy in The Lost Age (with Punch Ant being the first).

Ruffians can only attack with a physical attack; they cannot perform any other action.

Defeating a Ruffian yields 5 EXP and coins, and sometimes an Herb. After the prologue, they are never encountered again.
