Domenic Strategy

Offensive Magic Classes are not Recommended

Due to Domenic's Reflect ability, do no use Red Mages or Black Mages in this fight. Instead, assign these characters to a different Job like the Bard or as a secondary healer as needed.

Defend when Domenic has 3 BP

Domenic can unleash several Triplagas against your party for a potential team wipe in a single turn. Each of Triplaga's damage can easily annihilate a party member.

Stack Elemental Resistances

Role Equipment
Offense Valkyrie's Coat or Manarobe
Sands of Time or Thunder Talisman
If Manarobe is equipped: Flame Talisman or Ice Talisman.
Support Manarobe
Flame Talisman or Ice Talisman

Equipping a Manarobe and one Ice Talisman or Flame Talisman will nullify 80% of Domenic's damage output. This is due to how resistances work.

With this armor setup, only Domenic's lightning attacks will damage your party.

Alternative Strategy: Jump + Reraise Combo

When Domenic charges up 3 BP, this is a great time to have everyone use the Dragoon's Jump Ability. Doing so will make your party leave the battlefield.

You'll want to leave one party member for Domenic to attack. You can Reraise on your White Mage with a so she'll survive the attack. Doing this will consume Domenic's 3 BP and you'll survive the turn with only one wounded character.

Alternatively or if you don't want to spend BP, you can switch your character's weapon to equip Brionac. It's a spear that can use Jump if used while equipped and it doesn't cost BP.

They can be obtained by stealing from Thors in the Jaws of Judgement.

There is also the shield master who can use the icefire shield who can use it it conjunction with the vanguard sub job enrage to draw the triple element spell from Dominic and with mana robe and thunder talisman making that character completely element proof against the spells Dominic use along with the sands of time. With some good turn strategizing and luck you can shut down nearly any chance of your team mates getting hurt along with the bard to keep staking element defense.
