Focus on taking out the level 13 Ippon-Datara first by using Hama before targeting Leanan Sidhe.
Use Dark Dampeners to block Leanan Sidhe's Mudo skill. Dark Dampeners nullify Dark attacks, and in turn, cuts off the enemy's attack turns.
Target Leanan Sidhe with Force or Light based attacks as Leanan Sidhe is weak to these elements. Take advantage of the weakness-exploit system by targeting Leanan Sidhe's weakness, and in turn, secure more turns for your team.

For this fight, any Demons that have access to Hama or Zan can target the weakness of Leanan Sidhe and Ippon-Datara. Ippon-Datara is only weak to Light-type damage, but Leanan Sidhe is weak to both Force and Light. Angel and Fortuna are particularly useful as they are the most powerful Demons at this point in the game that can use Hama or Zan, in addition to having access to healing abilities like Humble Blessing and Dia
Note: Angel and Fortuna are weak to Dark damage, but you can overcome this by buying Dark Dampeners from Gustave or using Essences on them.

In addition to having access to the boss' weakpoint, Angel has access to a unique healing spell called Humble Blessing which heals all party members a small amount, ensuring your chances of survival. That being said, any Demon you have with good healing abilities should do the trick.

You can find Leanan Sidhe in the location above, and she will give you a quest, putting you at odds with Apsaras. If you choose to side with Apsaras, you will end up facing Leanan Sidhe and Ippon-Datara instead.
