This is it. This is the big one. I wanted this to be a good battle that doesn't require a shitload of luck and doesn't last forever, and for that I only saw one solution. Cait must transform, but not before he uses Lucky Girl, or else the battle will take too long. I also wanted to use Meteorain twice, so the beginning got a little bit more lucky than it had to be, but that's no big deal.

Once Cait has transformed, the rest of the battle is quite simple. Haste yourself and slow the enemy, and you will get to attack every turn before healing. Of course, you still need Barrier in case of double drops or critical hits. Since all of his attacks deal about 300 damage, it's also easy to keep track of his HP without Sense. Demon Rush is used when his HP drops below 7500, 5000 and 2500. One attack is enough to trigger the first one.

To sum it up, this was a real fun battle and I really like this strategy. I could have done it without Slots at all, but that would have required a shitload of luck and Hero Drinks, and it would have taken forever.
