How to Beat Shiki-Ouji

Avoid Using Regular Phys Attacks Use Fire and Force Attacks Cast Taunt on Light-Immune and Dark-Immune Ally

Avoid Using Regular Phys Attacks

Avoid using regular Phys attacks as Shiki-Ouji is resistant to Physical. Regular Phys attacks inflict little damage to Shiki-Ouji.

Use Fire and Force Attacks

Use Fire and Force magic to take advantage of Shiki-Ouji's weakness. Take advantage of the weakness-exploit system by targeting Zaou-Gongen's weakness, and in turn, secure more turns for your team.

Cast Taunt on Light-Immune and Dark-Immune Ally

Cast Taunt on your ally demons that can either block, absorb, or resist Light and Dark, and them have them become the bait for Shiki-Ouji's single-target Light and Dark attacks. This ally demon can either tank or nullify these attacks.

Best Demons to use against Shiki-Ouji

Demons Resistant to Light and Dark

Rakshasa has good Reistance to Light and Dark. Archangel totally Blocks Light attacks. These resistances will make it harder for your teammates to get instakilled.

Healers

High Pixie and Angel are good healers to have in your party, if level-up sufficiently.

Damage Dealers

We highly recommend using casters of Fire and Force. Kikuri-Hime will be able to deal Force damage while Inugami, Rakshasa, Aitvaras, & Jack-o'-Lantern will be able to cast Fire skills.
