Tales of Eternia- EX Boss 5: Cless & Arche [NIND/Hardcore Mode]

No Items, No Death A pretty nice battle, though the scales are tipped a bit more in their favor. Getting rid of Arche ASAP is the right way to handle it since her spells will lock you down and get ya killed quickly. Freeze Lancer is probably the biggest offender, but Rising Phoenix deals with her quickly. As for Cless, he hits pretty hard and matches Reid pace-for-pace, but he doesn't have much HP. Problem is attacking him without the Derris Emblem is a bit iffy, since Reid's accuracy isn't always spot on and combos can end up getting reversed and smacked down. Fortunately his Rising/Burning Phoenix can be all but negated with the proper capes, and he leaves himself open after Spiral Destruction/Neo Swarm/Prettymucheverythinghedoes. At a certain HP he begins spamming Doomensional Strike, and always follows up with Sonic Blade is he misses...which is annoying since he just repeats endlessly like Valkyrie if you're in range. He can't be DDC'd or Quasi Seal'd, so it's a straight up duel in the end. Overall it's not too bad, though I really took my sweet time with it.
