*Dialogue changes slightly depending how the battle starts.

Surprise Attack When Going to the Magic Circle First

Before fighting Pruslas, he will ask the player to scan the room for treasure. If you go to the direction of the magic circle in the middle, Pruslas will attack preemptively and surprise your party.

To prevent this, simply speak to Pruslas again to begin the fight without getting surprised.

Reduce Damage With Skills That Lower Accuracy

Pruslas and the accompanying Silvapithecus has a variety of physical attacks. To counter this, it is recommended to utilize skills like Dazzleflash or Sandstorm to lower their accuracy. It can neuter most physical attacks, reducing the amount of damage your party will receive.

Since Pruslas has no resistance to any debuffs, skills that reduce enemy attack power like Attack Attacker are also effective.

And by using Kabuff in conjunction with Attack Attacker, you can further reduce the effectiveness of their physical attacks.

Electric Element Attacks Are Effective

Both Pruslas and the Silvapithecus are weak to Electric element, so use attacks like Kazap and Lightning Storm.

If you upgrade Zap Afficionado to its upgraded form, Zap Virtuoso, your Monster can learn Kazap, so it is recommended that you invest skill points into this Talent.
