Well, I won without grinding and at a lower level than I usually do! Only getting two tablets will do that for you. White mage, mystic knight, beastmaster, dragoon. Plenty of damage, but the white magic held it all together...I kept Image up on everyone at all times and usually Shell too. White was everyone's alt ability (the white mage got Use Whips).
Exdeath only took me one try. Once I figure out how to screenshot from my Android emulator, I'll do a hard mode run. Kinda dreading that I might miss out on a white mage though...
My android phone, you hold down the power button for like 1 second then release, and it brings up a list. Also, damn, nice party. I think I may be going for shinryu before taking down exdeath. Sadly, unless combine works on omega there is not a shot in hell of me taking him down, since meteo does at best 500 damage a cast to him. Chemist is actually great for single heals, but the lack of a full party heal REALLY hurts. Good news is that I've learned how good the magic lamp is. Go go Haste2+carbunkle first round for maximum speed and magic protection.
Edit: I have defeated omega. Giants drinks plus protect drinks plus kiss of blessing plus 3 guardian daggers and elf capes slowed down the damage from a berserk omega to a reasonable level, while split shell dropped his defense enough for meteo to start screwing him.
Edit part deux: I have defeated Shin Ryu as well. Pretty much same way as Omega. Kiss of blessing + Giant's drink + Dragon Armor + Dark Sigh + 3 guardian daggers. It is almost depressing how easily the bosses went down. Against Shin Ryu, i almost didn't even use kiss of blessing on him, because I could negate with chemist mixes basically everything. Current issue is with Neo Exdeath. Almagest, of course. Mostly because I am too lazy to go back to the dwarf kingdom and recharge my lamp.
