Gabriel utilizes multi-target Light and Elec attacks. We highly recommend summoning demons that can block these types of attacks to effectively cut off the enemy's turns.
Gabriel reflects Light and Dark skills, voids Ailments, so never use these types of attacks as you'll only be wasting your turn. Likewise, it can resist Elec, Fire, Ice, and Force attacks, however, it is not totally immune to them.

Raphael's capability to heal, grant extra turns, and block any source of damage makes it a high-priority target. You don't necessarily have to single out Raphael from the get-go, you can still use multi-target attacks to help finish off Raphael faster.
Uriel's capability to heal and grant extra turns makes it another high-priority target next to Raphael. You can use the same strategy—use multi-target attacks to help finish off Uriel faster.
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 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 chance of dodging your attacks.
Two out of the three enemies in this fight utilize Magic attacks, so we highly recommend using a Magic Mirror or activating Makarakarn to Repel their Magic attacks to cut off their turns and, at the same time, reflecting the damage onto them.
You may obtain a Magic Mirror in Rag's Jewelry.
Almighty attacks cannot be blocked or countered, however, you can defend yourself and your allies by raising your defense/evasion rate.
Summon demons that have Dia, Media, or the skill's other variants, 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.
