Milo the Adonis is a magic user and most of his attacks will be elemental-based. He will also put up a barrier that repels elemental attacks every turn.

To combat this we will have the General in charge of either inflicting weaknesses or breaking down the barrier with Heartbreak Strategem. This will allow the party's magic users, the Summoner and Soul Hacker to use stronger skills without worrying about the damage repelling back to them.

Since Milo does not have anything against physical attacks. The Samurai will be dealing consistent damage through his Slash Skills.

How to Beat Milo the Adonis

How to Beat Milo the Adonis
Remove the Repel Barrier or Create Another Weakness Use Physical and Almighty Attacks Be Careful of Charm

Remove the Repel Barrier or Create Another Weakness

If you have a magic-focused party, then taking care of the barrier is the first thing that you need to deal with. The Repel from Milo's barrier can take out a member of your party depending on how strong the caster is.

Make sure to have a Skill, like Heartbreak Strategem, or an item that can remove repel effects from the enemy. If you don't have a skill like that then try creating weaknesses instead.

Use Physical and Almighty Attacks

An Alternate way to deal with Milo is by using a Physical Attack based party instead or by using Almighty Skills.
