Odin Strategy:
- Basic Strategy: Use a balanced party with physical and magical fighters, a dedicated healer, and utilize Aeroga. Use Cura/Curaga for healing, potentially Curaja for Zantetsuken aftermath. Haste and Protect are recommended.
- Item-Based Healing Strategy: Equip four Dragoons (Job Level 15-20). Use the Jump command to reduce damage taken and increase damage dealt. Supplement healing with Hi-Potions. A White Mage can assist with healing and buffs like Protect.
- Dark Knight Strategy: Utilize the Souleater ability. With two Main Gauches, deal 500-750 damage per attack. Using Blood Sword/Royal Sword can increase damage to around 1,000, and Defenders can yield around 1,500 damage. A White Mage is recommended for healing (Curaga/Curaja) due to HP loss from Souleater. The other three Dark Knights should only use Souleater.
