Elemental Attacks Against Pure Elementals
Harvey will sometimes spawn two Pure Elementals to aid him in battle. While they do not seem to be intimidating, they can still deal a good amount of damage.
Their SP is relatively low, and can be broken with any three elemental attacks except Dark. It is recommended that you use Fire, Ice, or Lightning Magic as it can also deplete Harvey's SP in the process.
Use Soulstones
If you are not confident with your physical attackers, you can opt to use Soulstones to deal damage in the thousands regardless of stats.
List of All Items, Materials, and Valuables
Reserve One True Magic for Full Power
Osvald's new ability, One True Magic, is an extremely powerful attack that lowers shield points regardless weakness. It is recommended that this attack be reserved for when Harvey is at 1 SP left and when Osvald has at least 3 BP. You can also use Osvald's Latent Power, Concentrate Spells, and equip him with the Support Skill, Deal More Damage, to maximize the damage dealt by One True Magic.
