How to Beat Abdiel and Ichiro

Abdiel and Ichiro Strategy
Bring Demons with Dark and Fire Resistance Defeat Ichiro First Use Physical or Fire Dampener Learn the Knowledge of Tools Miracle Learn Abyssal Mask from Aogami Type-10

Bring Demons with Dark and Fire Resistance

Ichiro primarily uses fire attacks, while Abdiel uses dark attacks. Both have heavy damage outputs, so it's best to bring demons that can at least resist both elements, especially dark, as it can instakill if you or your party is weak to it.

Also Bring Demons with Light and Ice Proficiencies

Additionally, consider bringing demons that can deal heavy ice and light damage to exploit Ichiro and Abdiel's weaknesses, respectively.

Demon Strengths and Weaknesses

Defeat Ichiro First

During combat, it is recommended to focus on Ichiro first. His kit can not only deal heavy damage but also inflict status ailments that can handicap you and your team.

Start with a team that can deal heavy to severe ice damage, then switch to demons with light skills when you focus on Abdiel next once you defeat Ichiro.

List of Status Ailments

Use Physical or Fire Dampener

Once Abdiel and Ichiro start gathering Magatsuhi, use a fire dampener and a phys dampener to block their attacks. Ichiro will use one of their fire and physical skills the next turn, so using these dampeners will negate their critical hits.

Learn the Knowledge of Tools Miracle

Since the combat will involve status ailments, it's best to learn the Knowledge of Tools miracle, which allows your demons to use healing items as well. Make sure to learn it to avoid losing too many turns from status conditions!

List of Miracles

Learn Abyssal Mask from Aogami Type-10

You can equip the Abyssal Mask skill to minimize the chances of being inflicted with status conditions from Dazai's Tentarafoo and Slumber Vortex. You can learn this passive skill from Aogami Type-10, which you can find in Komagata in Taito.
