 * Since Body Slam deals rather low damage, you can opt to use a provoke tank instead to taunt Consume.
 * Stop from Body Slam can be prevented by Mystea, Moogle, Silvia, or Vaan, cured by Ayaka, or dispelled. Either damage dispel like Fingersnap, Bushido - Freedom or dualcast dispel trick will be able to dispel your own unit.
