Daisoujou Strategies
Here is a breakdown of the battle strategies against the boss:
Equip Kamudo Magatama
Before the battle, make sure the Protagonist or Demi-fiend is wearing a Kamudo Magatama. This Magatama nullifies Physical attacks. Unfortunately, you don’t have Magatama yet that can resist his Expel and Death attacks.
Be familiar with boss attacks and skills
Make it a point to get familiar with the attacks and skills of the boss. Adjust your strategy when the boss uses skills like Meditation and Preach. Bring HP and MP recovery items to recover a lost amount.
Pass Regular Turn to Support Demons
If you start the battle with Demi-fiend, make use of the Press Turn System and pass your turn to demons that can use Debuff Support Skills.
Land Debuffs
Land debuffs on the boss while leaving some MP for healing. Debuffs can be in the form of attack power decrease (Tarunda/War Cry), defense power decrease (Rakunda), and hit/evasion power decrease (Sukunda/Fog Breath). These debuffs can be accessed by demons in your party.
Prioritize on landing Sukunda/Fog Breath first. Followed by Rakunda and Tarunda/War Cry.
Cast Buffs
Cast buffs on your party members as well. Buffs can be in the form of attack power increase (Tarukaja), magic power increase (Makakaja), defense power increase (Rakukaja), and hit/evasion power increase (Sukukaja). These buffs can be accessed by demons in your party.
Prioritize on landing Sukukaja first. Followed by Tarukaja/Makakaja, and Rakukaja.
Boost Attacks
In addition to buffs, you can also use attacks further by using Focus (next Physical and Almighty deals x2.5 damage). This damage buff can be accessed by demons in your party.
Use Magic Attacks
Daisoujou does not have resistance to magic attacks so you can damage it with Fire, Ice, Electricity, and Force skills.
Use Phys attacks
Daisoujou does not have resistance to physical attacks so you can damage it with Physical skills. If you don’t have them, just rely on your high-level demons and deal normal attacks instead.
Heal Allies
Keep the party’s HP sustained by using healing skills. Especially when other party members are using HP-consuming Physical skills.

You’re guides are simply use attack, buff and heal, try not to die, you can’t win if you die.
If I’m looking for a guide how to cook some stew, I won’t be thrilled when the guide says: take pot, fill it with water, don’t stick your hand in pot when vapour rises from it.
The stats and information are fine and much appreciated but the rest seems kinda low effort and pretty half assed.
