How to Beat Adramelech

Use Fire Dampener or Makarakarn Against Hellish Brand Use Phys Dampener or Tetrakarn Against Deathbound Consistently Use Ice Skills Use Buffs and Debuffs

Use Fire Dampener or Makarakarn Against Hellish Brand

Use Fire Dampener to block Adramelech's unique Fire attack, Hellish Brand, which targets all foes. Alternatively, you can cast Makarakarn to block the Fire attack.

Use Phys Dampener or Tetrakarn Against Deathbound

Use Fire Dampener to block Deathbound, a Phys attack that targets all foes. Alternatively, you can cast Tetrakarn to block the Phys attack.

Consistently Use Ice Skills

Adramelech is weak to Ice, and capitalizing on the weakness-exploit system will benefit you a lot—effectively attacking Adramelech and securing more turns for your team all at the same time. Likewise, stock up on Ice Gems beforehand to ensure you have access to Ice attacks.

Use Buffs and Debuffs

Buff your team as often as you can to get the upper hand in battle. Buff skills such as Matarukaja and Concentrate increase your attack damage. A buff skill like Marakukaja raises defense of all allies by 1 rank for 3 turns, ensuring better survivability in battle.

Debuff Adramelech as often as you can to make the enemy more vulnerable to your attacks. Debuff skills such as Debilitate, Tarunda, and Rakunda can successfully lower Adramelech's attack and defense.

Best Demons to Use Against Adramelech

Demons with Ice Skills

Exploit Adramelech's weakness to Ice by bringing along demons that have Ice skills. Use demons that have Bufu or its other variations. Take advantage of the weakness-exploit system to effectively attack Adramelech and secure more turns for your party.

Demons with Makarakarn

Block Adramelech's heavy Fire attack by having a support demon cast Makarakarn onto your party. Likewise, you can alternate with the use of Fire Dampeners.

Demons with Tetrakarn

Block Adramelech's med Phys attack by having a support demon cast Tetrakarn onto your party. Likewise, you can alternate with the use of Phys Dampeners.
