Debuff Bishamonten's Attacks
Use a skill like Tarunda to lower Bishamonten's attack by 1 rank for 3 turns. Debuffing Bishamonten's defense is also fine but targeting his offensive stat should take top priority.
Hit Bishamonten With Ice Attacks and Defend Against Fire
Bishamonten is weak to Ice attacks, so exploit his elemental weakness to deal decent damage to Bishamonten while also securing more turns for your team at the same time.
Bishamonten casts heavy-hitting Fire skills such as Agibarion and Ragnarok, so use demons that block Fire to make Bishamonten lose turns.
Buff Your Party
Don't hesitate to go all out in buffing your party's attack and defense as Bishamonten does not have any skills that can undo buffs you cast on yourselves. Skills like Matarukaja and Marakukaja can go a long way in this fight, raising your party's Attack and Defense respectively.
