Genbu Strategy
Always Have Regeneration and Reraise on Everyone
Genbu is an easy enemy but its Brave attack sequence is annoying since it can get through your defenses in a single turn and kill a party member.
Always having Reraise and Regeneration on everyone is crucial.
Always Have Rampart
Genbu's attacks can deal massive damage to more fragile team members. Since you're running an entire party of fragile Arcanists, all of his attacks will be deadly if left alone.
Have an Arcanist with a Bastion Sub-Job use Rampart whenever at least 2 members don't have any physical barriers on them.
Don't Worry About HP, Blast Genbu with Ardour!
With the proper setup, Regeneration and the damage absorption from Ardour should be enough to heal everyone back to full HP before Genbu attacks again.
Don't be afraid when your character's stay in Critical HP. Just keep on blasting Genbu and your dying allies should be back to full HP in no time.
Physical Attackers are not Recommended
Aside from Genbu countering attacks, it also has a passive Reprisal ability that reflects all damage you deal back to you. This is why a four magician party is ideal for defeating the giant tortoise.
