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.
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.
