Appearing inside the [[Geno Dome]] during the [[Future]], she is responsible for the uprising of robots against humans. While innately genderless, Mother Brain's hologram, name, and delicate concern for her fellow creations suggest she is female. | ||

The three Displays surrounding Mother Brain heal her. Each Display has a single [[Hit Point,]] so they are easy to destroy. However, once they are destroyed, Mother Brain starts using more powerful techs against the group. She cannot physically attack nor counterattack, nor is she resistant or immune to any element. Using [[Tech]]s that damage multiple targets will destroy the Displays and provoke Mother Brain's lethal attacks. Instead, use [[Lucca]]'s [[Hypnowave]] to inflict the [[Status Effect]] [[Sleep]] on these computer monitors. This prevents them from healing Mother Brain and leaves her unable to attack the party. From this point, focus on single-target Double Techs such as [[Fire Sword]] or [[Blaze Kick]] to destroy Mother Brain. After she is destroyed, the battle ends. | The three Displays surrounding Mother Brain heal her. Each Display has a single [[Hit Point,]] so they are easy to destroy.

''Mother Brain'' appears to be a adaptation of ''mother board'', the central circuit of computers, without which the entire machine would cease to function. As her duties include monitoring and programming the other robots of this time period, her absence might render disparity in the memory banks of machines, causing them to malfunction, lack a unifying force, or simply obtain individuality of thought. Additionally, the word ''mother'' assists this idea, as mothers govern, love, teach, and instruct their children. ''Brain'', in the name, may allude to her nucleus like functions. Brains are the commander center and engine of organic bodies, which is identical, again to the role she plays. Lastly, ''Mother Brain'' denotes a sort of {{w|swarm intelligence}} and appears in many other works of art, namely other video games, where this figure serves the same purpose as this Mother Brain does. | |||
