A difficult double-boss. The hounds here are respectively fire and ice elemental, mixing this attribute into their physical attacks and using powerful breath techniques to damage all the characters in our party at once.

We can protect from either fire and ice at this point, but not really from both (unless everybody is an Elementalist).

Also, Rolan has to gain all the experience from this battle, AND he leaves the party immediately after it ends, meaning we want him equipped with stuff that makes soloing at least a bit possible, in the last part of the battle, but also stuff we won't regret losing. Which is a tough choice really.

The girls were equipped with such equipment that would keep them alive at the start, contributing both to defensive tactics (keeping the elemental resistance up with Mysterio) and damage dealing (Poison Pill).

It's good to know how auto-targeting works in this game. Some moves will always hit the enemy in the back row, others will always target the front enemy first.

Basically, magic will hit the icy hound, so I gave Rolan a Fira spell. Poison Pill probably counts as a physical (it's fixed defence-ignoring damage depending on the item that you use to be precise).

Now here's what we want to do. When one hound dies and the other is still alive, he'll revive his partner if the second hound is not killed within the next three turns. This makes our plan problematic, as we want only Rolan alive at the end of the battle. This means we want the girls to die before either hound is knocked out, then have Rolan quickly get rid of them both. This requires good damage calculation on the spot, as well as the right resources.

You might've noticed the girls are lacking decent clothes, that's to facilitate their death at the end of the battle. If equipped with the right stuff, the Elementalist, for example, will not die at all, so we want her naked.

When that is done, Rolan (hopefully with enough health) casts Fira on the icy hound, killing it, then eliminates the firey hound with an ice attack item, finishing the battle.
