Demi-Fiend but Marici is there

Battle Start: 0:12 Strategize Phase: 1:59 Marici Comes Out: 4:00 Finishing Blow: 6:28 Party Setup: 7:18 New Game save. Pretty luck based strategy, since you need your Virus Carrier demon to land Mirage on Demi-Fiend in 2 turns, maximum. To minimize the amount of time wasted, I’d suggest landing Mirage on Demi-Fiend and then pulling the Strategize Squad out. Also, this is my first try doing something like this, I honestly only went the Marici route because I like her :) Turn 1: Have a low level Vile demon with Endure to survive the opening Javelin Rain cast Impaler’s Glory. Debuff the Demi-Fiend’s party and buff your own to have his party waste turns clearing them. Make sure to cast Evergreen Dance on this turn. Turn 2: Have Khonsu swap out for Nahobeeho and swap Yoshitsune onto the empty slot left by your Vile sacrifice. Have someone with a Donum skill act after Yoshitsune swaps in to get rid of Impaler’s Glory on him, then have Yoshitsune hit into a Null/Repel on one of Demi-Fiend’s demons to get an extra press turn next round. Turn 3: Activate Strategize, you could make resets less painful by swapping in a demon with Taboo and a Virus Carrier demon to cast Mirage on Demi-Fiend immediately. If you get it on your first or second try, you should be fine. Anyways, pull out the Strategize Squad until you have full Buffs/Debuffs, then switch in a demon with Deathly Affliction and Marici. Afterwards, keep summoning Marici back and forth from the stock to refresh Impaler’s Glory, and you should hopefully defeat Demi-Fiend around the 2nd last turn icon (assuming you miss the first Mirage attempt on him).
