Take Out Anubis and Thoth First

At the start of the fight, Khonsu Ra will summon Anubis and Thoth. These are one time summons that can be quickly defeated so it's highly recommended that you deal with them first.

Anubis acts mainly as a debuffer and Thoth as a buffer, so defeat them before they make the battle more difficult on your party.

Use Ice Skills

Khonsu Ra is weak to Ice-type attacks, so take advantage of this and target him with skills like Bufubarion or Ice Age to deal the most damage possible and extend your turn.

Null Light and Fire Damage

Prioritize bringing demons that block Light and Fire damage. Blocking Light damage is more important though, since Khonsu Ra's skill Heliopolis Dawn is a fire skill with a piercing effect that targets all foes. Also Khonsu Ra is likely to use Mahamaon after charging Magatsuhi, so having a party that nulls light damage can negate that attack completely.

Buff and Debuff

Khonsu Ra doesn't have any way of buffing himself or debuffing your party after his summons are defeated, so feel free to use skills like Luster Candy or Debilitate against this boss.

Avoid Attacking When Mesektet's Path is Cast

Attacking Khonsu Ra the turn after he has cast Mesektet's Path will cause him to counter and inflict the attacking character with a unique Shroud status effect that drains MP at the start of each turn. When Mesektet's Path is cast, we suggest to continue attacking him, and heal your HP and MP back up afterwards since the attack following Mesektet's Path can wipe the party out.

Best Demons to Use Against Khonsu Ra

Demons With Ice Skills

Arioch naturally learns Bufubarion and has a base fusion level of 75, which is pretty close to the recommended level of this fight. Also Arioch's affinities aren't great, but they aren't terrible either, being neutral to both Fire and Light damage.

Demons That Null Light and Fire Damage

Mithras has the perfect affinities to deal with Khonsu Ra, draining Fire damage and nulling Light damage. Additionally Mithras naturally learns both Dekaja and Dekunda which can be very helpful if Anubis and Thoth are casting buffs and debuffs.

Buffs and Debuffs

Lakshmi acts as both a great buffer and healer in this fight. After Anubis and Thoth have been dealt with, have Lakshmi cast Luster Candy to buff the whole party. Teaching her or another party member the debuff Debilitate will give you an even larger advantage, althought the MP cost of these spells is quite high.
