Always Debuff Zouchouten's Attacks Always Hit Zouchouten With Force Attacks Zouchouten Uses Mazionga After Activating Omagatoki: Critical Cast Taunt On Ally Demon That Can Block Phys Buff Your Party
|
Zouchouten has both Tarukaja and Charge which increases its attack damage. Make sure to always debuff Zouchouten's attacks specifically, at least once during every turn in order to weaken Zouchouten after it casts its own buffs to itself. Use a skill like Tarunda to lower Zouchouten's attack by 1 rank for 3 turns.
Debuffing Zouchouten's defense is also fine but targeting its attack damage should take top priority.
Zouchouten is weak to Force attacks and capitalizing on the weakness-exploit system will benefit you a lot, effectively attacking Zouchouten and securing more turns for your team all at the same time.
Zouchouten uses a multi-target Elec attack after it taps into Magatsuhi. To counter Mazionga during Zouchouten's next turn, we recommend using Elec Dampener after Zouchouten gathers Magatsuhi.
This strategy works against Zouchouten's Fatal Sword which is a medium Physical attack to 1 foe with high chance of Critical. Zouchouten uses this attack on normal turns, so it is best to have your ally demon that can block phys become the bait for this attack.
Don't hesitate to go all out in buffing your party's attack and defense as Zouchouten does not possess any skill that can undo buffs you cast on yourselves. Skills like Matarukaja and Marakukaja can go a long way in buffing your party's Attack and Defense respectively.

We recommend bringing along demons that can block or resist Phys as Zouchouten uses its Phys attacks on its normal turns. Have this demon become the main target for Zouchouten's Phys attacks by using Taunt and then having said ally demon block or tank the attack to keep your party safe.
Zouchouten is weak to Force attacks, so we recommend using demons that have Zan skills or its other variations. Take advantage of the weakness-exploit system to effectively attack Zouchouten and secure more turns for your party.
