It's been a while since I did one of these but basically, this is where I tackle bosses with only main characters that are a part of your party in story mode. This is purely for entertainment purposes and not a guide by any means.

For anyone with a lot of free time to kill, this is a challenge for you! The fact that this fight requires no NRG is a bonus.

Eligible units include: Rain, Lasswell, Fina, Lid, Nichol, Jake, Sakura and Dark Fina. For those of you without Dark Fina, you're welcome to use a Dark Fina friend for a party of six. Keep in mind that actually owning Dark Fina will not grant you any advantages in this challenge since you most likely won't find any friends using story unit leaders. If you need a Dark Fina friend, send me a PM w/ the build of your choice and I will try my best to accommodate you.

Dark Fina is banned for this fight, way too easy.

Onto the challenge!

I went in with a team of Rain, Lasswell, Nichol, Sakura, and Fina. Rain acted as the tank, buffer, and breaker for my team. Nichol was the strategist Barwatera spammer, Fina was the healer, Sakura was my main DPS and Lasswell didn't do shit.

A couple of key things:

• HP/SPR is not as important as Dark/Water/Light resistance. Gear your units with as much resistance as possible. Nichol didn't die once with only 2.9K HP because he had 100% Light/Dark resistance and 70% water resistance after buffs.

• Could've equipped Lasswell & Nichol with Pods, and used Thundaja as a finisher to finish the fight a lot faster

• Fina will get stopped for two turns in the beginning, survival during the first two turns is key

• Bring MP recovery pots, Sakura has 0 MP regen if you're equipping with MAG

• If you don't have 5 ribbons/Goddess' Protection/Discernment, at the very least make sure your units are immune to petrification since Fina can't cure it.

• Enhanced Sakura is pretty beast

Overall a pretty easy fight, I was able to beat it within 20 turns. Unit builds are extremely TMR heavy, request at your own risk.
