Succubus Strategies
Here is a breakdown of the battle strategies against the boss:
Equip Iyomante Magatama
Before the battle, make sure the Protagonist or Demi-fiend is wearing an Iyomante Magatama. This Magatama nullifies Mind attacks.
Pass Regular Turn to an Expel attacker demon
If you start the battle with Demi-fiend, make use of the Press Turn System and pass your turn to Angel, Archangel, or other demons that can use Expel skills. This will give an opportunity to deal instant death to the boss.
Use Expel Skills
Succubus is weak to Expel attacks which Angel, Archangel, and other demons can capitalize.
Land Debuffs
If the instant death attack does not land or you don’t have an Expel user demon, land debuffs on the boss while leaving some MP for healing. Debuffs can be in the form of attack power decrease (Tarunda), defense power decrease (Rakunda), and hit/ evasion power decrease (Sukunda). These debuffs can be accessed by demons in your party.
Use Phys attacks
Succubus does not have resistance against Physical attacks so add party members that specialize in this attribute such as Archangel, Chronzon, and other demons. 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.
