Immunities: Boss Immunities
Skills: Maharagidain, Mahbufudain, Mahajiodain, Mahazandain, Maka-Kaja, De-Kaja, Megidoraon, Divine Favor Trumpet, Demon Fate Trumpet.

Phases:

Turn 1-3: Trumpeter uses elemental attacks (Maharagidain, Mahbufudain, Mahajiodain, Mahazandain) and buffs/debuffs (Maka-Kaja, De-Kaja). He may also use Megidoraon.
Turn 4: Trumpeter uses either Divine Favor Trumpet or Demon Fate Trumpet. This alternates every four turns.

Strategy:

Trumpeter's main threat comes from his two unique skills. Divine Favor Trumpet can undo all your hard work by healing him or his allies to full, while Demon Fate Trumpet is an instant death sentence for your lowest HP character, with no chance to resist.
The key to this fight is recognizing that Trumpeter follows a predictable pattern: every four turns, he uses one of his unique trumpet skills. The order is Divine Favor Trumpet, then Demon Fate Trumpet, then Divine Favor, and so on.
Warning: You'll want to have a few disposable, low-level demons in your party that you don't mind losing.
When you see Trumpeter is about to use one of his trumpet skills (on the 4th turn of his cycle), summon one of these sacrificial demons. Trumpeter will target and kill this weak demon instead of your valuable main party members.
After the demon is killed, you can revive it on the next turn using Recarm or a Chigaeshi no Tama. Important: Do NOT use Samaricarm, as it will fully heal the demon, which isn't what you want for this strategy.
When Trumpeter is about to use Divine Favor Trumpet, summon your revived (or another sacrificial) demon. Trumpeter will heal that demon to full HP and MP instead of himself or other allies.
Continue this cycle: summon a weak demon to take the hit from Demon Fate Trumpet, revive it, then summon it again to absorb the healing from Divine Favor Trumpet. By managing your disposable demons, you can effectively neutralize Trumpeter's most dangerous abilities.
Keep up the pressure on Trumpeter between his trumpet attacks. While his elemental spells can be dangerous, they are manageable with proper resistances and healing.
