How to Beat Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel

Recommended level: 74
Enemies	Weak	Block	Resist
Uriel
Raphael
Gabriel

Know Their Weaknesses

If you're planning to use multi-target skills and all three seraphim are present, you can spam Electric attacks to strike Gabriel's weakness and slightly damage the other two. Once Gabriel is out, you can safely use Ice attacks to strike Uriel's weakness and damage Raphael.

Vulnerable to Ailments

We recommend inflicting Seal, especially on Raphael since he can use Recovery skills.

Take Out Raphael First

Raphael can cast Patra to cleanse ailments and Diarahan to fully restore an ally's health. He can also use Makajamaon to prevent you from using skills, making it difficult to strike their weaknesses and deal damage.
