The false image toggle timing _is_ consistent (it's a variant of what Stalker/Wendigo had), and changes accordingly if speed-altering abilities are used on it. I wonder how quickly you could theoretically defeat it if it didn't have the false toggle.

Unlike GBA, you can tell if its Mighty Guard succeeded (it flashes teal if it does, at which point you reload the quicksave).

Ideally the jumper is at critical health and the defender isn't, but you take what you get.

Placing suggestions here too since most people probably won't read the comments:

"As much speed as reasonably possible. Numerical defences don't matter. Everyone has Ribbons. Evasive stuff on whoever's going into the final (physical) phase.

Dragon Lance/Force Shield/Mirage Vest/Elven Mantle on whoever's attacking (I chose Faris because I felt she had the best balance of speed/power and was the highest-leveled)
Masamune/Chicken Knife (or other speed-boosting weapon)/Genji (or Crystal) Shield/Mirage Vest/Hermes Sandals on minimised hider (Krile is naturally fastest)
Dual-wield speed-boosting weapons/Ninja Garb/Hermes Sandals on the others (need to mix buff items on attacker before Neo KOs them)

You can adjust these as needed depending on how cautious you want to be (eg. zombie meat shields against physicals)"
