He's a sexy dancer.
Lowdown on the restrictions of this challenge:
- EXP gain is only permitted in boss fights and forced encounters, and must be minimised by only having 1 character active at the end of each battle.
- Autolevelling must also be minimised as much as possible. Argilla and Roland take all XP before they leave the party to reduce the impact of this later on, and Argilla's level must not exceed 12 so it doesn't affect Sera's starting level.
- This is a cycle 2 playthrough on hard difficulty with no data transfer bonuses.
- I will be fighting all bosses rather than doing a true minimum EXP run, cuz that's more fun. And let's face it, you're only here for Satan.
- The use of Data items to permanently raise stats is forbidden for as long as possible - at least until Shiva.
From this point on which character takes XP may seem kinda random, but it's actually routed to keep everyone's levels as low as possible. If Gale took the Hanuman XP he could reach level 10 before Vritra, but it would affect his final level. No big deal perhaps, but I'm going all in with this. Anyway, the encounters here aren't too bad except the Hanuman fight which makes Uzubae cry. Sera gets just enough AP to finish learning Ice Drain which is nice, but I don't bother having a chronically underlevelled Gale eat anything. Who's got time for that?
Pisaca x2 - Void Mute makes them useless and Fire Bombs make short work of them. At this point we're using the Trick Ring and Suku- stacks on everything to ensure our hits connect.
Hanuman x2 - Dumbest battle so far, since they can easily wipe you out straight away with Sakura Rage. Stun them ASAP to stop their attacks connecting, or stack buffs if they use Magic Repel. With both of em stunned and some Suku stacks you should be safe. Don't attack physically unless you want a High Counter to the face.
Chimera x2 - They have a few different moves but Explode is the most dangerous because it hits Sera's weakness. Protect from this and weaken them with Magni Bombs.
Legion x2 - S E X Y. Swapped Cielo's ring with Sera's for this one and gave her Void Nerve. This takes care of everything except combo Vanity. Shock Bombs for the win.
