Jealous Jody Strategy

Weaken It's Physical Attacks

Jealous Jody isn't a strong enemy. However, it focuses on using multiple targeted attacks and the amount of damage it deals to the team simply can't be ignored.

Assigning a character for reducing its attacks and another for increasing your defense while slowly whittling it can ensure an easy boss fight.

Buff Your Party's Defense

If you don't prefer to use the debuff method, buffing your own party will also work against Jealous Jody's attacks. Or you can do both if one method doesn't suffice.

However, we highly suggest using the Pictomancer since it can use Chiaro, a light elemental attack which Jealous Jody is weak at.
