| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| Heat Wave +4 | Weak Physical attack to all foes. |
| Fire Dracostrike +6 | Medium Fire Strength-based attack to 1 foe. |
| Maragidyne +6 | Heavy Fire attack to all foes. Only used as a Magatsuhi Attack |
| Ragnarok +6 | Medium 2~5 Fire attacks to random foes. |
| Dekunda | Negates status debuff effects on all allies |
| Counter | Chance to counter Strength-based attacks with a weak Phys attack. |
| Agilao +6 | Medium Fire attack to 1 foe. |
| Maragi +6 | Weak Fire attack to all foes. |
| Omagatoki: Critical | Magatsuhi Skill: All attacks, including magical attacks, will become Critical hits for all allies for 1 turn. |
| Succubus | Kushinada-Hime | Black Frost |
| Yoshitsune | Qing Long |

Among the strongest Ice users at this point of the game, your best choices are Black Frost and Qing Long as they are also not weak to Fire unlike Lahmu, Sarasvati, and Silky. If you have Succubus leveled up to at least 45, she would also be a great addition to your team.
Yoshitsune can deal huge damage using Hassou Tobi and give you bonus turns as this attack is guaranteed to crit. You don't also have to worry about Surt countering as Yoshitsune is resistant to Physical attacks.
Take Kushinada-Hime with you if you need healing. Her Mediarama combined with Heal Pleroma can keep your team healthy each round. She is also a better choice than Sarasvati for this fight as she's not weak to Fire.
If you can, have her inherit Bowl of Hygieia from Parvati to boost Mediarama and possibly overheal your team, giving you extra health above the HP limit.

Fuse Nahobino with an essence that can allow him to block Fire attacks like Eligor and Dionysus. If you have demons in your team that can also block Fire, you'll have increased chances of Surt losing his turns.

When Sturt starts gathering Magatsuhi, use a Fire Dampener to block the following Maragidyne. Take note that you don't have to waste a turn using this item if your team is already resistant to Fire attacks.

There's a chance that Surt will use Counter if you use a Strength-based attack against him. This isn't a problem for demons like Yoshitsune that can resist Physical attacks.
