Best Demons to Use Against Qing Long

Demons with Matarukaja

Qing Long possesses Matarunda which lowers Attack of all foes by 1 rank for 3 turns, and if casted on your party, will make you and your allies ineffective attackers. Bring along demons that have Matarukaja that raises Attack of all allies by 1 rank for 3 turns.

Demons with Elec Attacks

Qing Long is weak to Elec attacks, and so bringing along demons that have Elec skills can greatly benefit you using the weakness-exploit system.

How to Beat Qing Long

Spam Elec Attacks Use Matarukaja or Dekunda Don't Overinvest in Buffing Your Attacks Qing Long Starts Using Bufula at Low Health

Spam Elec Attacks

It is fairly easy to secure extra turns by spamming Qing Long with Elec attacks right out the gate. No problems will be posed in the first rounds, just keep attacking in the first round.

Use Matarukaja or Dekunda

Qing Long possesses Matarunda which lowers Attack of all foes by 1 rank for 3 turns, and if casted on your party, will make you and your allies ineffective attackers. Use Matarukaja or Dekunda to even out the playing field and to still keep hitting as hard as your party can.

Don't Overinvest in Buffing Your Attacks

Qing Long has Matarunda which lowers Attack of all foes by 1 rank for 3 turns. It is fine to buff your party's attack but don't overinvest as Qing Long can just cancel it all out in a single turn.

Qing Long Starts Using Bufula at Low Health

Qing Long will start using Bufula, a single-target medium Ice attack, when its HP dips down. One strategy you can play out is using Taunt and have one demon resistant or immune to Ice be the target.
