Homo Margo is a tricky enemy to defeat with its rotating affinity. The Faker Archetype will have a big role in this battle since the enemy prioritizes removing debuffs and buffs before attacking, mitigating its ability to hurt the party. Make sure to use all of Faker's debuff Support Skills when you can. You can also use the General's Matarukaja for the same effect.

For offense, you need to keep careful watch of which affinity is currently in use and adjust your skill type accordingly. The Wizard Archetype will greatly help with this since it has a lot of variety in terms of elemental skills. The Summoner Archetype will be using a similar tactic with her additional Synthesis Skills.

Green is wind, so use electric. Yellow is electric, so use wind. Red is fire, so use ice. Blue is ice, so use fire. Purple seemingly blocks everything, so use Almighty attacks. White blocks all elements other than Almighty, but isn't resistant to physical attacks.

Masked dancers ability to force a one time weakness can also be used in combination with summoner to deal large ammounts of damage. Might not be viabale on higher difficulties.
