My 115 Mariale was taking too much damage (no Death Machine esper), so I replaced the phys aoe armor with Knight Armor (20 spr, 10 magic res). I also gave her Fenrir VC (20 party magic res); alternative is Tonberry VC (15 party magic res, 15 self disable res), however KMont's disable is only 25%, so defense bracer is enough to fully prevent it. Since active ailment res is not needed, I gave Fina the Purify shoes (+runes) to have an AGI item. She went first, so she used it to give everyone an early phys/mag barrier. She also didn't really need defensive gear so I gave her the archer Diamond Coat instead. For Phoebe, I never had time or need to use the defensive accessory, and she never used the healing staff, so maybe it would be more useful to wear Margritte's casting speed tmr staff and another Soul of Thamasa for assisting with Comet/Meteor. Your positioning strategy is solid. And if you block off the exit from the upper ledge (square 3,2) it forces everyone to the bottom. Ildyra, Adelard and KMont run out of AP and dangerous moves pretty fast, so all you need to do is sustain for a while for a guaranteed win. I actually had to get my 2-kill on those two because I messed up the rat sequencing. Things also become easier after you snipe and then jump-kill the healer, after she eventually walks into range. Ellshra's Lightbreak Rune was great for taking out Helena in like 3 hits.
Wow you put great thoughts into this! I'll be honest, I actually just went in blind and still cleared this including quest missions. So I actually retreated for the sake of the video lol
@@Tedix74 I restarted around 10 times, gradually getting a feel of the map, discovering what is safe and what isn't (like, standing 1 square apart from Mariale to give her affinity AGI isn't, because then every enemy switches to AoE attacks hitting them both), figuring out when to attack and when to heal/buff, etc. And you were right about the time mages. Overall, this map is one of the easier ones, as long as you can control the flow of battle and avoid mistakes (letting provoker die, not refreshing hate, accidentally hitting kmont, not taking out the rats/zazan quickly, wasting attacks on tough enemies while the healer is alive, etc).

I do think this was way easier than some of the other sections quest
