2. The Guardian-Lightning has higher HP and is generally more annoying to deal with.
3. The Resolute Assassin has higher ATK but lower DEF.

Strategy:

• Prioritize taking out the Guardian-Lightning first. Its higher HP pool and potentially more disruptive attacks make it the bigger threat.
• The strategy here is very similar to the boss encounter you had back at Ossa Trail. If you remember how you handled that fight, you should be able to apply the same tactics here.
• Keep an eye on your party's HP and TP, and don't hesitate to use gels if needed.
• Utilize any learned skills or artes that exploit enemy weaknesses, though in this case, neither enemy has specific elemental weaknesses listed.
