How to Beat Jin the Charlatan

Defeat Jin First
Similar to how other Candidate battles are, if you defeat Jin first then the battle ends even if the other party members still have HP. Focus fire on Jin to defeat him as fast as possible instead of spreading your damage to the entire party.
Make him the Target of your weakness infliction skill, this will make sure that you deal the most damage while extending your turn for the chance to hit him with another attack. Blackguard's Hammer is effective for this tactic. You can also take advantage of Hero's Cry to further extending your turn.
Create Your Own Weaknesses
Jin has no weaknesses or resistances, the best way to handle this is to make your own. Use skills that can afflict one-time weakness to not only improve your damage but also extend your party's turn.
Watch out for Charm, Debuffs, and Jin's Healing
Jin the Charlatan is not a strong opponent but he is resilient. He will try to debuff your party, cast Charm, and will occasionally heal himself to extend the battle. Make sure that you have the right skills and items to make a full recovery.
Items to Cure Charm
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Slapstick Fan | A good whack cures Charm for one ally and is hilarious to boot. |
| Panacea | A cure-all liquid medicine. Cures any status ailment for one ally. |
| Almighty Panacea | A miracle-cure with an all-encompassing effect. Cures status ailments for all allies. |
| Coney Stew | A nutrient-rich stew of meat and vegetables simmered in milk. Cures status ailments for all allies. |
| Invigorating Steam Bun | A miracle-cure mugwort bun that is intensely bitter but very healthy. Cures status ailments for all allies. |
