Use AoE Breath Skills

DQM3 - Cheater Cheetah, Rhinoceraxe, Hellion
Using AoE skills to hit all of the monsters in this boss battle are recommended.

Breath skills, in addition to being AoE, also avoids the debuffs from Cheater Cheetah's Sandstorm (lowers accuracy of physical attacks) and Fizzle (disables use of spells).

Use Ice-Elemental Breath Skills

All three of the boss monsters are weak to Ice, so Ice-elemental Breath skills like Cool Breath are the best skill to use in this boss battle.
