Strategy:

  • This Nu Master battle is no joke, even if you think you're prepared. It's got a nasty arsenal, including attacks that will slice your current HP in half, instantly knock out a party member, and other hard-hitting moves.
  • Be aware that every single time you land an attack, it's going to counter with an elemental ability or another powerful move.
  • If anyone in your party dies or gets their health dangerously low, you absolutely must use Hi-Potions to bring them back up to a safe level. If you don't, you'll find yourself in serious trouble very quickly.
  • Focus on using your strongest Techs. Consider having one party member, like Frog, dedicated to healing everyone else throughout the entire fight.
  • Keep your party's HP topped off and don't be afraid to use Elixirs. If things get really hairy, a Megalixir might be necessary. If you manage your HP well and use your resources, you'll be able to get through this fight.
