Vehement Idol Recommended Party Setup

Character	Best Skills	Explanation
Protagonist	・Fatal End ・Cruel Attack ・Crit Rate Boost	The protagonist will assist Junpei in dealing critical hits to the Vehement Idol, especially with his crit-increasing skills like Crit Rate Boost.
Koromaru	・Revolution	Koromaru's primary use is to cast Revolution, which greatly increases your critical hit chance for 3 turns, after which he can do regular attacks to try to crit the boss for an All-Out Attack. Koromaru also nullifies Fire damage, which is why he's a good choice for this fight.
Junpei	・Gigantic Fist	Junpei's primary role is to spam Gigantic Fist while his crit rate is up to deal massive amounts of damage while hoping for a critical hit that triggers an All-Out Attack. Critical Hits will also increase his Theurgy bar faster.
Yukari	・Diarama ・Mediarama ・Recarm ・Sukunda	Yukari acts as your main healer and deals occasional physical attack damage to try to get a crit out. She can also cast Sukunda to make Vehement Idol's attacks miss.

How to Beat Vehement Idol

The following tips can help you beat Vehement Idol in battle.

1. Increase Your Critical Hit Chance
2. Buff Party and Debuff Enemies
3. Protect Against Fire
4. Use Theurgy Skills

Increase Your Critical Hit Chance

Vehement Idol has no weaknesses so it is recommended to attempt to do critical hits to knock it down for All-Out Attacks.

Revolution, which can be learned by your party member Koromaru, increases your crit rate for all party members for 3 turns. Passive skills like Crit Rate Boost and the Critical Enhancer accessory will also help.

Buff Party and Debuff Enemies

Lower the Vehement Idol's stats with skills like Rakunda and Tarunda to decrease its defense and attack power. Likewise, cast buffs on yourself like Matarukaja and Marakukaja to increase your defense and damage dealt to make the fight go by much quicker.

Vehement Idol casts Tarukaja on itself so cancel this out with a Dekaja skill, or simply bring it back down with Tarunda.

Protect Against Fire

Vehement Idol casts Maragion and Megidola. While you can't do much to mitigate Almighty damage aside from Rakukaja spells, you can lessen Fire damage with accessories like Flame Charm or Blaze Earrings.

Use Theurgy Skills

Theurgy skills will help quicken the fight, especially the protagonist's Jack Brothers Theurgy, which has the chance to knock Vehement Idol down for an All-Out Attack.

Fuuka's Theurgy can also help buff your party or even regain some SP, which was lost from fighting the previous boss, Natural Dancer.
