- Cast Insulatle to Counter Wildfire
- Use Kabuff to Increase Defenses
- Apply the Dazzle Status Ailment
- Increase Damage with Oomph and Sap
Bring Ways to Mitigate Fire Damage
Orochi's most threatening move is Wildfire since it can deal a good amount damage to the entire party. Make sure to use equipment that reduces Fire damage to help your healers keep up with Orochi's damage output.
List of Fire Resistant Equipment
| Equipment | Where to Buy | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Ice Shield | Mur | 3,100 G |
| Fur Vest | 3,900 G | |
| Asbestos Earrings | 3,300 G |
There are more pieces of equipment that can reduce Fire damage, but these are the easiest ones to get.
Cast Insulatle to Counter Wildfire
Since Wildfire is counted as a Breath Attack, you can use Insulatle to reduce the damage you would take. However, this is unlocked by Priests and Sages at Level 27 and you might be too low level at this point to have this spell available.
If you do have it, then it's highly recommended to have it active every single turn.
Use Kabuff to Increase Defenses
On top of the tips previously mentioned, make sure to also cast Kabuff to provide a further defense increase. It will also reduce the damage of Orochi's basic attacks, which isn't covered by the other two tips.
Apply the Dazzle Status Ailment
Another way to deal with Orochi's regular attacks is by using moves with a blinding effect, like Dazzle and Sandstorm. This way, there's a high chance that Orochi wastes turns missing attacks.
List of All Spells and Abilities
Increase Damage with Oomph and Sap
To help speed up this fight, use the combination of Oomph on your Hero and Sap on Orochi to the damage of their Lightning Slashes. Whenever you have free turns to cast spells, make sure to apply this buff and debuff combo.
