Tamamo's 2nd fight is definitely up there as one of the hardest Chapter 2 fights. Especially on hard. She hits fairly high already, can pratically nuke your hp in 1 Nine Moons, Gnome is needed for 100% of the fight, Sylph is needed to avoid an annoying trance and an annoying OHKO move, and Undine/Salamander can't be abused for free SP or used in combination of Sylph for max dodge rate.

However this fight is the best one to play it safe in. I conserve every point of SP in hard mode in the event of a sudden trance or Nine Moons. I heal at good hp amounts as hard mode risks an insta-loss by a lower dodge chance powerful attack or OHKO.

Also, the spirit's dodge rates are RNG. Sometimes it's just bad luck. In hard mode's case, the dodge chances are lowered.
