Koppa Tengu will utilize Force and Nerve attacks, so we recommend not bring along demons who are weak to these Elements. Likewise, Koppa Tengu will Void Force, so don't use Force attacks on it.
Koppa Tengu also has Tarukaja which raises its party's damage output, and Gathering which Koppa Tengu can use to summon more of itself.

Focus your attacks on Koppa Tengu, instead of Incubus. Koppa Tengu will just keep summoning more of itself as long as it's still alive.
He also has Tarukaja so prioritize taking it out before the enemy's party can get stronger.
While Curse may not necessarily inflict damage, you'll be able to make Koppa Tengu vulnerable, and secure more turns for your party.
Incubus is weak towards Force. Keep hitting him with Force skills as much as possible to inflict more damage and secure more turns for your party.
Use a buff like Focus or Tarukaja before using a Phys attack. This allows you to maximize your Phys Attack's damage output in the short turns you get.
Use a buff like Makakaja before using a Magic skill. This allows you to maximize your Magic Attack's damage output in the short turns you get.
Use Tarunda or War Cry to lower the enemies' Phys/Magic Attacks. You will take less damage if you debuff their attacks.
Use Rakunda to lower their defense, to make them more vulnerable to your attacks. Alternatively, you can use Fog Breath or Sukunda as these debuffs will decrease their chances of dodging your attacks.
Summon demons that have Dia or Media so your party can restore HP as you move along the battle. This will be ideal especially in situations wherein you have no available Recovery items on hand.
