Strategy:

• This fight can be tough if you're not keeping your party healthy, so make sure to use healing items or techs regularly.
• Your primary goal is to eliminate both of the Pods before focusing on the main Guardian.
• Concentrate your attacks on one Pod at a time. Once it's defeated, switch your focus to the other Pod.
• After both Pods are down, quickly attack the Guardian. Be aware that it will start a countdown from 5 to 0.
• When the countdown reaches 0, the Guardian will revive both Pods.
• Repeat the strategy: defeat the Pods first, then attack the Guardian.
• Keep your party's HP up and continue this cycle until you emerge victorious.
