Two more bosses here, neither is extraordinarily hard, really.
Brainshark inflicts negative statuses and attacks normally, its attacks being water-elemental. Like I said before, ice and water are the same element in this game, meaning an Ice Shield takes care of Waterga and water-elemental physicals, too.
What's more is that equipping a Stream Cape on one of the characters will give them a full water immunity, meaning physical attacks will do exactly 1 damage, even when critical. Too bad you can't buy these.
Casting Fire is super-effective here, and if both Aire and Jusqua are psyched up, they can execute a Strong Fire by casting the spell together.
I got lucky avoiding the statuses most of the time. Didn't even equip any status-protective items.
Demon is the first dark-elemental boss. Dark enemies are generally vulnerable to light, which is what is traditionally represented by the thunder and holy elements in the series.
There is no thunder/banish magic available yet, so I switched Jusqua to a physical class and gave him a light-elemental blade for exploiting the boss's weakness. Yunita just acts as support casting Cure and Berserk. Funny that she will first cast Berserk on herself even though she's clearly the mage here - I guess there's no denying the auto-target system has its own weaknesses.
Even though the Bandit class has maximum melee proficiency with the Sword class of items ("A"), he still missed a lot in this battle. Maybe the boss just has a high evade? Idk, really.
Darksteel Shields equipped on both the characters take care of the attacks and Darkra spells here (which otherwise hurt a whole lot), and I didn't mind being inflicted with the Curse status here.
