Balzack (Chapter 4)
  • Recommended Level: Maya 12-13, Meena 11-12
  • Party: Meena, Maya
  • Weaknesses: None significant.
  • Resistances: Strong resistance to fire spells.
  • Attacks: Powerful physical attacks, 'Blazemore,' 'Sizzle,' 'Boom,' 'Kasap'.

Strategy: This is a challenging fight due to Balzack's high damage output and resistance to Maya's primary fire spells. Maya should focus on her non-fire offensive spells like 'Boom' or 'Bang' if she has them, or use physical attacks with her whip. Meena's role is crucial: she should cast 'Heal' or 'Midheal' every turn if needed. If healing isn't immediately required, Meena can cast 'Sap' to lower Balzack's defense, making Maya's physical attacks more effective. Be prepared for Balzack to cast 'Kasap' on your party, reducing your defense. Use Magic Water to restore MP if either sister runs low. This is a battle of attrition, so conserve MP and heal consistently.
