Photon can instantly reduce a character's HP to 1. Propeller Wind is its deadliest move can inflict Confuse on your whole party. Whirlwind also inflicts damage to the whole party.

Strategy

Make sure your characters have the Clear Headed passive ability when taking on Ark. And if available, have your characters equip Auto-Regen and Auto-Potion.

Get rid of any normal Potions as well so your characters will only use Hi-Potions. If the party can sustain Ark's attacks, try to steal the Holy Lance, as it's a good weapon for Freya.
