Tips
- The Safety Ring protects against instant-death attacks.
- Kamiizumi's counters: Nothing Venturerd (physical), Before Swine (magical), Know Thine Enemy (massive damage, high KO chance).
- To minimize damage from counters, avoid using Brave for multiple attacks; save Brave points for later.
- When Kamiizumi KOs a character, he will Brave twice and unleash three attacks, leaving him vulnerable for two turns. Default to survive this onslaught.
- After surviving, revive fallen allies and unleash powerful moves.
- When Kamiizumi reaches critical HP, he stops using counters and Braves twice, making the battle more straightforward.
- Consider bringing a Salve-maker for efficient party revival. Compound a Phoenix Down and a Potion for best results.
