How to Beat Diabolus Gorleo

How to Beat Diabolus Gorleo
Use Hero's Cry on the First Round Use Your Support Skills Use Party Wide Attacks Finish the Battle as Fast as Possible

Use Hero's Cry on the First Round

At the start of battle extend your round by using Hero's Cry, this adds four more turn icons for your party. This will give you more time to set up your support buffs and debuffs and more chances to deal damage to Gorleo.

Use Your Support Skills

Use your Support Skills! This party composition allows you to have the time to utilize a lot of support skills to buff your party and debuff the enemy. Use everything during your extended turn and try to finish the fight as fast as possible.

List of All Support Skills

Use Party Wide Attacks

Use skills that can damage the entire enemy party if you can. This will make dealing with Gorleo's main body easier. It is highly recommended that you use Wind Skills since Gorleo's wings and legs are weak to this.

Finish the Battle as Fast as Possible

Finish the battle in as few turns as possible. Unlike Homo Gorleo, the Diabolus Gorleo will keep regenerating its apples to heal itself. If this happens get rid of the apples first and try to finish off the main body to stop it from recovering.
