[center] Tips for the arena [/center]
1. Increasing your stats really helps.
2. Many of the monsters are customized to battle particular characters. HINT HINT
3. Best grinding method: team battle, QUIT after 3 battles: you get to keep your stats,
and the rewards are useful ultra items. You should quickly be powerful enough
to win these battles in a single turn, so you can go fast here.
4. You can test out finding weak spot, but it is only useful in one battle.
separate spoilers are below for each character
note that the team battle doesn't require anything special except stats and healing
you MUST be victorious in the team battle to unlock the individual battles
LIDIM
Use poison on the first monster, mist ball on the second, and life drain on the third.]
SPIRIT
Abyss Slayer on each monster in the first battle, hide in the 2nd and 3rd battles
heal when necessary]
CRAG
Have the accessory to reduce fire damage
armor breaker and nova crusher in first battle, then use nova crusher on the 2nd
and let his special power kick in. On the 3rd battle, kill the monster at the
far back first (it does the restores). You will need armor breaker; heal when
you see the monsters pause.
FRUITIE
accessory to increase criticals helps here; healing and high levels are the rule here
storm vardo and healing in every battle
in the 3rd battle, monster uses water]
PURE
level UP!!Crimson Ray all day long for battles 2
battle 1: use healing ON THE MONSTER (more powerful than using a heal ointment on it)
in battles 2&3, DEFEND when you are warned that next turn a big hit is coming]
in battle 3, although the screen indicates you hit for say 5000, it isn't true: the only hits that count are when your element matches the weak point
so use crimson ray when fire is weak, rock crush when earth is weak, etc.
Just for fun, you should look up this last monster, the Frakanvire, in the monster guide and check his HP. Even more fun,
just use Crimson Ray EVERY time you choose to attack, see how much it hurts the Frakanvire, and get a chuckle.
ELIS
make sure you heal frequently; when you have the multi enemies down to 1, heal all the way up
1st enemy: aim, then Mistrea Zodic
2nd enemy: just keep repeating Himmel Greif
3nd enemy: very tricky: monster guide says "None" for weakness, weak point shows all elements, but in fact,....
you MUST steal the barrier breaking amulet!! or you die. In fact, you can steal it, die, and come back for
another bout (in which you could steal again!) if you like. Once you hit him with the amulet, heal constantly,
and use Mistrea Zodic when you attack. Don't try to aim, as you will probably be healing every other turn.
