I swear I am this close to flushing this garbage 1/10 game down the toilet.

Jin in chapter 9 is fucking dogshit. Any time he feels like it he can just spam his shitty overpowered arts and kill me, and I am 3 levels above him. There is nothing I can do. On a whim he can just hit my party for half its health, ban all healing, one hit my tank, all in the space of about 20 seconds. At this point I seriously doubt I will finish the game, it's just not worth it. Some nice music and a mildly interesting story just can't balance out the most annoying gameplay I think I have ever experienced in my life.

Use Mythra and equip a diamond accessory, a modern medal (or avant garde if you have it) and give her aux cores for Crit Chance V and Arts Heal V.  This with Rex will give you constant healing.  Also use Narcipear Jelly and the Plumber Game for pouch items.

Seal his abilities quick, get to 3 (and if you can hold out for it 4) orbs and then pop the chain attack with your most powerful team and blades.

I did this and the game basically became easy mode for me.

Healing is almost useless though; his evasion is so stupidly high that most of my arts that drop potions miss, while he keeps nulling healing. I have gotten 4 orbs (fire, water, wind, light) on the guy but it doesn't seem to stop him using any of his stupid overpowered gimmick arts.
