Right as lestat said seraph crowns help

BUT I just used Vanille, light & Hope

Vanille cast poison which made everything easier

having all 3 on ravager build up stagger meter

having all 3 on medic really helps health

And by luck I beat him quickly...before he could use death on me.

I used to have Light, Fang, and Vanille but then i took vanille out and put hope in.  I think ill have to take fang out of the party for this battle and put vanille back in.  After i grind a lil bit ill battle him again and hopefully i can beat him.  Ill try your paradigns just in case.  Thanks!

No problem.

I had Light, Fang & Hope as my main team

But I always died on that boss

I don't like vanille but I gave up my stubborness & got her

And everything worked

Its hard to believe what a difference having 3 medics at once heal the party makes & what a difference having 3 ravagers at one time makes

and vanille is a saboteur too, like fang....except vanille has poison!

So basicaly fang HAD to go even though she's my 2nd fav character in the game!

I just tried it again.  EPIC FAIL!!!  It wasnt even orphan it was barthandelus.  Im just going to beat barthandelus with light, fang, and vanille.  Then get my ass whooped by orphan.  Reset my party and paradigns, then go kick his ass.  Maybe that will work.

And fang is my 2nd favorite character too.  Everybody knows who #1 is *coughLightcough*

Try to make Auto-type of items, it makes all the difference for the first minute of the battle. Sprint Shoes give you Auto-Haste, Morale Talisman gives you Auto-Bravery (for Fang) and Blessed Talisman gives you Auto-Faith. I've been using them since early chapter 11, and they've been life savers.
