Protagonist, Strohl, Hulkenberg, and Heismay

Protagonist	The Protagonist will be taking up the role of the Mage Archetype and will be focusing on hitting the enemy's weakness with Electric Skills for better damage and to extend the party's turn.
Strohl	Strohl will be taking up the Swordmaster Archetype. Goddard doesn't have any weaknesses for physical attacks so Strohl is free to use all of his available Slash Skills.
Hulkenberg	Hulkenberg will be using the Magic Knight Archetype. She will be in charge of drawing aggro with Knight's Proclamation and provide healing with Mediline. If Possible she can also inherit the Kande skill from the Mage.

Mage	・Kande
Swordmaster	・Rising Slash ・Raging Edge
Magic Knight	・Knight's Proclamation ・Mediline ・Heavy Rush
Thief	・Dark Sword ・Steal ・Mudo ・Plunder Life

Goddard is weak to Electric Skills only. When using the Mage be careful of the spells you cast since he can block ice and wind.

This will be a very aggressive battle with the Swordmaster and Thief dealing as much damage as they can through their skills. The Magic Knight will be doing its best to distract the enemy using Knight's Proclamation to minimize damage to other party members.

How to Beat Demo Man Goddard

Stay on the Offensive and Defeat Him Quickly

For this battle, stay on the offensive and be aggressive with your attacks. Utilize all of Swordmaster's Slash Skills like Rising Slash and the Thief's Dark Sword. With your Mage, hit him with Kande to exploit his weakness.

Try not to let the battle linger since Goddard will start spamming his skill to lower your Evasion and Hit Accuracy. This will increase the chances of you missing a lot of your Skills and wasting turns.
