Let's Play Final Fantasy Tactics (Part 53)
2As promised, we figure out a way to beat Elmdor legit without worrying about stealing his gear. Sorry about not being able to show off Mimes. They just cannot survive that Draw Out skill sadly.
The main issue with this fight is not that Elmdor was buffed but rather other things in the game were nerfed or buffed that ended up making him much stronger. Due to Blade Grasp and Holy Sword skills being able to miss limits your only reliable means of damaging him to Magic, Draw Out, and Elemental (Dance can work too but that would take ages unless you have alot of Mimes/Dancers).
Elmdor being able to teleport into the middle of the party and blasting everyone for 400-500 damage along with two Asssassins doing status effects is main hurtle to get over. You need to have enough people survive long enough to blast Elmdor with everything you got. So here is my advice...
1. Make everyone is a class that can hurt Elmdor (Time Mage, Summoner, Wizard, Priest, Samurai, etc). Also make sure you have MagicAttack UP.
2. Spread your party out enough so at least one character survives Elmdor's Draw Out skill.
3. Equip as many people with Angel Rings as possible (grants Reraise)
4. Make sure you are SLOWER than Elmdor.
5. Use your best attacks (Cyclops, Meteor, Holy, etc).
Elmdor will act, kill a few of the party (there are exceptions). Those dead party members will get up and be able to act instantly on their turn due to Reraise and contribute to the fight. Blast Elmdor with everything you got. Three powerful nukes is enough to take him out. Profit!
