How to Beat Loup-garou
 Add Oni to your teamUse Ice and Light AttacksBring Elec DampenersIncrease your Defense with BuffsLower its Attack with Debuffs |
Add Oni to Your Team
Use Taunt as soon as Oni get's a turn to increase the chances of Loup-garou targeting him. If you get another turn, use Fang Breaker to lower Loup-garou's Attack stat. Since Oni is resistant to Physical attacks, he wouldn't pose a problem since his skill set is mostly Physical.
Use Ice and Light Attacks
Loup-garou's is weak to Ice and Light attacks. At this point of the game, your best choices are Xuanwu, Kaya-no-Hime, and Jack Frost.
Bring Elec Dampeners
When Loup-garou starts gathering Magatsuhi, use an Elec Dampener to protect your team from Souffle D'eclair.
Increase Your Defense with Buffs
Xuanwu can provide Defense buff with Rakukaja while Kaya-no-Hime can use Harvest Dance to both heal and raise Defense. After Oni uses Taunt, you can use either Support skill to further increase Oni's Physical resistance.
Best Demons to Use Against Loup-garou
| Jack Frost | Xuanwu | Oni |
| Kaya-no-Hime |
Demons with Ice or Light attacks
For the main damage dealers, we recommend any two between Xuanwu, Kaya-no-Hime, and Jack Frost as they can target Loup-garou's weakness to Ice.
Oni as tank
Oni is almost mandatory for this battle. Not only he's resistant to Physical attacks but can also use Taunt to increase the chances of Loup-garou targeting him. He can also use Fang Breaker to lower the boss' Attack stat.
