Jin Shirato (2nd Encounter) Recommended Party Setup

Character	Best Skills	Explanation
Protagonist	・Unshaken Will ・Debilitate ・Ali Dance	You will be the main source of damage while also providing supplementing the team when confused. Since Koromaru can't do much to Jin, you will also need to pick up debuffing with Debilitate.
Akihiko	・Ziodyne ・Masukukaja ・Matarunda ・God's Hand	Works best with buffs, so make sure to give him some Heat Risers from Ken. Yukari's Tranquility can work in tandem with Electric Onslaught to deal a ton of damage.
Yukari	・Mediarahan ・Samarecarm ・Amrita Shower	Your main healer and Concentrate buffer. Amrita Shower will be your focus since Jin's Confuse can be very nasty if not dealt with immediately.
Ken	・Mediarahan ・Dekaja ・Kouga ・Heat Riser	While having two healers can be a bit too much, Divine Intervention and Makarakarn can help mitigate damage. Yukari's Tranquility can work in tandem with Divine Retribution to deal a ton of damage.

How to Beat Jin Shirato (2nd Encounter)

2. Make Sure to Cover Your Weaknesses
3. When Jin Uses His Stim Injection, Play Defensively

Make Sure to Cover Your Weaknesses

If you have the equipment, like the Golden Dress for Yukari, make sure to equip them so you and your party don't get knocked down. This does come at the consequence of Jin using Megidolaon more, so weigh your options first.

When Jin Uses His Stim Injection, Play Defensively

After Jin uses his Stim Injection, you can conserve SP by just playing defensively and healing as needed. The Injection will chip away at Jin's HP in huge chunks so you can wait until he's low enough for you to finish him off.

Use Accessories That Can Help With Confusion

The Unbreakable Cage, when equipped, will Null Confuse so make sure to give it Yukari so she can immediately perform an Amrita Shower for everyone else. Another accessory you can use is the Hero's Cape for Ken or the Incense Box to atleast quickly recover.
