User blog comment:Shaamat/Main parties in paradox Part 1/@comment-25707465-20160409181334

A (realtively) short note :

-Every character NEEDS vicarious Clara and, if possible, endure for the fight. Almost every boss has a full party attack that can not be dodged nor reflected and will deal more than enough damage to OS someone without Clara.

-Carbuncle is a plus, although not mandatory for every fight, she is a critcal help in some case. It even leads a few boss in helping you taking them down. It's hard to keep up but it helps a lot, particularly for Sphinx since it's often an additional 10k damages per turn. For other bosses, it will still avoid a few full party status effect in quite a few fights.

-Since you have Kamuro, don't forget to keep Death dodge ballad up. Total party wipe on a possible death inflicting attack is not funny.

Even then, don't think the first boss you will down can be anybody. Reaper is a luck based battle, the seraph will make half your attacks useless, and if the boss start on the wrong attack, you're just dead.

You don't have to follow it line by line, but it tells which spells you have to keep un on your party against which boss.

And once you have defeated one, if you're lucky enough to get a useful item, you'll be able to more or less start farming them.
