Jin has been working out since our first battle it seems, as he now has 5K health instead of the 1,5K he had back when we fought him right after Hanged Man together with Takaya. His attack pattern also seems to have suffered some change, namely he now apparently (because he only uses Mabufula against my party) has magic of all four elements, as well as an extensive negative status set (this one is certain), but he gave up the buff he used on Takaya's attack back in the first battle against the two. I suppose the reason only Mabufula is used is explained by Akihiko's presence in the party. Aigis has an elec weakness too; however, I haven't seen Mazionga even once here. With Magic Mirrors used every turn, the spells will not get to penetrate Akihiko's weakness or hurt anyone else for that matter.

Jin has his fire reflection just like he did in the first battle, but using Fire Break is a waste of a turn for the MC - she should be dishing out damage with a doubly powered up Bufudyne instead, dealing ~200-300 depending on whether Jin had his defence debuffed by Aki or not. Since Jin is not using fire magic on the party anyway, he won't be dealing fire damage to himself.

He's a healthy bastard and, though my resources claim Jin has access to Megido (which I also haven't seen used even once), we're mostly safe here. Still, the battle is best done fast, and what I choose to do is try to stun him with Zio-elemental item magic, followed by guaranteed Cruel Attack crits from Ken. Jin cannot be dizzied but he can be knocked down still.

Reflected Mabufula is still the primary source of damage against Jin, so we just hope he uses that instead of pointless status magic to get done more quickly here.

While Jin is easy, Takaya is far from it and is actually one of the biggest highlights of the run. The battle is unusually long, which is why I didn't put these two together into one video. So look forward to that one some time soon (I have a lot of videos to upload).
