How to Beat the Kunitsukami

Bring Down Okuninushi First

Okuninushi is the enemy team's healer, and has access to Media and Diarama, which could exhaust you in the long run. Make sure to defeat Okuninushi first. Once he's out of the way, you can take the others out in any order you wish.

Exploit Their Weaknesses

Okuninushi is weak to Ice. Oyamatsumi and Take-Minakata are weak to Fire. Sukuna-Hikona is weak to Electric. Take advantage of these weaknesses to extend your turns.

Defend Against Fire

Okuninushi goes first, and sometimes casts Agilao, so it's good to have a whole team that blocks Fire so that the enemy will lose turns quickly. It also helps to have 1 demon that blocks Electric to guard against Take-Minakata's Mazionga attack.

Buffs, Debuffs, and Healing

To make this an easier fight, bring in demons with buffs and debuffs for attack and defense. Having four powerful can be overwhelming so it helps to keep their damage in check. Increasing your attack will also help you bring Okuninushi down as fast as possible.

Furthermore, multi-target healing like Media is a must, as this fight can get quickly out of hand.
