Is stopping the bastard from moving outside of one lucky turn with two !Calms each round cheating? Faris was using Thundaga Sword Dance, Krile was bouncing Thundagas off herself (Reflect Ring).
Also I forgot to post my Shinryu shot here:
Berserked him with the Wonder Wand, everyone wore Elven Mantles or the Mirage Vest in Butts's case. Butts cheated by passing his whip between hands after getting attacked. Mantles worked surprisingly well. Best part is I forgot to by Phoenix Downs and only had one in my inventory. Revived Faris, couldn't revive Krile, two deaths against a Berserk Shinryu.
And since I completely forgot to do the recap post I intended to, my problem with Neo Exdeath was worrying about Almagest. That part of him can be turned to stone, and I could use Break Sword, so it was a complete non-issue. The part that was really kicking my ass, in a much less spectacular way, was the front piece that uses Vacuum Wave. That's the attack that was weakening me to the point Almagest was a threat. Once I focused that down, the fight was incredibly simple - got luck with Grand Cross never giving me any annoying statuses the Ribbon couldn't prevent, and the back section can be insta-killed with Odin summoned from the Magic Lamp. Krile went down in the one turn the back piece got in after the others were dead before I summoned Odin.
Overall, this party was probably pretty close to Easy Mode. Black Mage and Dancer have incredible damage output (I didn't even grind the Chicken Knife for the Dancer; you don't need it), Mystic Knight is great for anything vulnerable to statuses, and Beastmaster, while it was unsung, probably has a lot of potential I missed because I was just Firagaing everything to death. !Calm was the only way I could bring down Omega with this party, I'm sure.
