Zhuque possesses Masukunda which lowers Accuracy/Evasion of all foes by 1 rank for 3 turns, and if casted on your party, will make you and your allies ineffective attackers and make you become more vulnerable to Zhuque's attacks. Bring along demons that have Masukukaja which raises Accuracy/Evasion of all allies by 1 rank for 3 turns or Dekunda that can negate all status debuff effects on all allies.
Zhuque is weak to Ice attacks, and so bringing along demons that have Ice skills can greatly benefit you with the weakness-exploit system.
Zhuque Hits Masukunda in the First Round Use Fire Dampener After It Taps Into Magatsuhi Don't Overinvest in Debuffing Zhuque Zhuque Starts Using Agilao at Low Health
|
Bad news: right at the get go, Zhuque casts Masukunda which lowers Accuracy/Evasion of all foes by 1 rank for 3 turns. Good news: Zhuque only uses the skill at top-high health.
We recommend using Masukukaja to raise Accuracy/Evasion of all allies by 1 rank for 3 turns and Dekunda to negate all status debuff effects on all allies and not wait for the Masukunda to stack up against your party. Use weakness-exploit and then cast Dekunda during one of the extra turns.
Zhuque uses Maragion after it taps into Magatsuhi. We recommend using Fire Dampeners to block the Maragion, effetively cutting off Zhuque's attack.
Zhuque has Dekunda which negates all status debuff effects you cast onto them. It is fine to debuff Zhuque, specifically its Attack damage and defense, but don't overinvest as Zhuque can just cancel it all out in a single turn.
Zhuque will start using Agilao, a single-target medium Fire attack, when its HP dips down. One strategy you can play out is using Taunt and have one demon resistant or immune to Fire be the target.
