Jikokuten Uses Charge + Normal Phys Attack in the First Few Turns
To remedy this, you can use your Phys-resistant demon as bait by casting Taunt on this ally. Alternatively, you can use Phys Dampener if you are running low on MP.
Jikokuten Uses Mabufula After Tapping Into Magatsuhi
Jikokuten casts Mabufula after it taps into its Omagatoki: Critical skill. Make sure your Nahobino casts Ice Dampener so your entire party blocks Mabufula, effectively cutting off Jikokuten's turns.
Jikokuten Consistently Uses Marakunda
Jikokuten will consistently use Marakunda on your party, and one way to remedy this is by bringing demons with Rakukaja or Marakukaja to keep your Defense stat up and become less vulnerable to Jikokuten's attacks.
Keep Debuffing Jikokuten
Use skills such as Tarunda and Rakunda to lower Jikokuten's attack and defense, respectively. This way you'll be able to defang Jikokuten while making him more vulnerable to your attacks.
Best Demons to Use Against Jikokuten
| Eligor | Power | Parvati |
| Quetzalcoatl | Yoshitsune |
Demons with Fire Attacks
Exploit Jikokuten's weakness to Fire by bringing along demons that have Fire attacks. There are several Fire-based attackers that aren't weak to Ice which Jikokuten is likewise proficient in such as Eligor and Quetzalcoatl.
However, seeing as Jikokuten only uses its Ice skill after tapping into Magatsuhi, you can remedy this by using Fire Dampener.
Demons with Rakukaja or Marakukaja
Jikokuten will consistently use Marakunda on your party, and one way to remedy this is by bringing demons with Rakukaja or Marakukaja to keep your Defense stat up and become less vulnerable to Jikokuten's attacks. Power is a good pick as he possesses Marakukaja and can also be a flexi-damage dealer.
