Yeah this is more of a midboss than an actual boss. Iku has only 500 more HP than Kanako from last stage with none of the healing crap and almost one dimensional offense; pretty much everything she does is electric element, except for the electrostatic shot + elekiter dragon palace combo which is basically just a convoluted AoE instant death (first she'll try to inflict shock, then she'll inflict 100% accurate instant death only on targets with shock). She'll use that combo on turn 1, then whenever she uses Mad Thunder (which is just random) she'll have a high chance of using it on the next turn. You can tank it with either Reimu using the status blocking barrier or Alice covering it with Little Legion (be sure to give her the storebought accessory that gives immunity to Shock first). Since Reimu's barrier has CD3 and she sometimes uses Mad Thunder on turn 2 and bust out the combo again on turn 3, I delayed it for a turn by using Aya + Private Square combo.
One other thing to note is that Mad Thunder is a Satori learning skill. It is a very strong spell (easily Satori's best attack for most of main game), and is a huge pain to learn if you miss it here, so you really want to get it. Luckily actually getting it is not that difficult; just put her in the tank slot of Poison Shield (or Phoenix Sky Dance) and make sure she has some form of electric defense and you're good to go. I'll try to showcase its power on the next boss (who is weak to electric).
