How to Beat Sorceresses
Preparation
High ATK status, Magic Shell,ST-ATK death.
Moveset
Countdown, Ultima.
Strategy
Use shell on your party members at the start of the battle sequence. Immediately dispatch the starting sorceresses (the weaker sorceresses are weak to Death so they should die from normal attacks with ST-ATK death) once buffs are cast on the team. Unleash a barrage of attacks. If a character's HP is low when the countdown is about to end, the player can use GF to block the damage of Ultima.
