How to Beat The Skeleton Squire

Watch Out for Multi-Target Skills

Multithrust

The Skeleton Squire has several skills that deal damage to multiple targets, making him effective at damaging the entire party.

Against the Skeleton Squire, make sure to always heal party members as needed, to avoid being hit by a skill and dying unintentionally.

How to Learn Heal and Effects

Constantly Apply Buff

Kasap

With either Ruff or Hero as a Priest, make sure to always cast Buff on the Party to make sure the party survives against the Skeleton Squire's attacks.

The Skeleton Squire also has a skill that lowers defence, so casting Buff ensures that the effect only cancels out.
