Im in the first fight against Hondler. I followed the guide strategy about him but he ever wins against me. Too strong he is... so any hint and tips to him? I really want to end the game.

Use Random's Laxis spell that only costs 2MP (it will hit 100% of the time), Wendie's Laxius Rocket, Sarah to heal and boost and blast away with Luci's Royal Combo. He's very fast and evasive. I found this to be the best strategy IMO.

sounds a good strategy to me, especially if the team is quite resistant....

Indeed is great, and it worked.

Thank you.

No problem.

Hint: Use the same strategy against the other guy (won't even try and spell his name from memory) and he should go down quickly as well, especially the second time since he seems more susceptible to "Defense down."

Great, thanks - I didn't think to try this strategy against Guidibba. I was more into whacking him with Random.

Hi, Im having trouble with Hondler again. In his last battle. I used lot of boosts in all the allies but he's too strong and fast. I tried the strategy you told me before but it's not working.
Random LV81
Sarah LV72
Wendy LV75
Luci LV75

The key is here is physical defense since all of his "spells" are physical. Put on all your highest physical defense armor/accessories. My whole party was level 99 when I beat him. Also, did you use all your permanent stat boosts? Maybe give Sarah all the HP so she can revive the characters?

Thank goodness I have a previous save file, like that I can buy equipments that Astral Litz sells. I'll try later.
Yes, I have used all the boosts.

Also, a lot of the monsters respawn, so you may want to level up a bit more before tackling the big guys!

reviving items are also the key to a masterful strategy, if you still have enough of them (if possible above 50 lol)

I have revive potions, but not much Necrotears, still I can't beat him.
