The Circle of Fortitude, Upper Echelon area is a maze and there are many routes to the end that allow you to avoid the bosses, including Warhog.

Choosing to avoid fighting some bosses here will not affect anything, so feel free to choose another route if you don't want to fight Warhog.

Warhog List of Attacks

Warhog can potentially perform a move 1-3 times in one turn.

Lower its Attack or Increase Your Defenses

All of Warhog's attacks deal physical damage, so counter it by lowering its attack with the Sag Powder item, or skills like Blunt or Attack Attacker. You can also increase the defense of your whole party with Kabuff. With one Sag Powder and two Kabuffs, you can negate almost all the damage it deals.

Note that Warhog can attack up to three times in one turn, so if you're unlucky, some of your monsters might get defeated in the first turn. Try to finish applying your buffs and debuffs in the first turn.

In addition, even if Warhog is inflicted with Bedazzlement which lowers the accuracy of physical attacks, he will still continue to attack, so this strategy is not recommended.

If you wish to reduce the damage you take, consider debuffing the enemy with Attack Down and buffing your team with Defense Up.
