Yukariis a better healer in this fight than Mitsuru, as she haswind magicin addition to her healing skills. Use her Garu skills toexploit the enemies' wind weakness.

Akihikoshould only be used for hisstriking attackshere, sinceFurious Gigas are strong against electric.As forAigis, she has plenty of great strike attacks, even outside ofOrgia Mode. Itboosts her power for two turns, but will require athree-turn cooldownafter before Aigis can battle again, so choose when (or whether) to use it wisely.

If you’venot added Aigis to your partybefore this,Junpeiis also a fantastic choice. Not only does he have physical attacks, but he can alsobuff with Rakukaja.

Furious Gigas Battle Strategy

The majority of this battle will be focused onkeeping your team in good condition,as you’ll likely struggle a bit against the barrage of powerful physical attacks.

Multi-target moveswill be your bread and butter here, bothwind and physical.

If she’s in the fight,setting Aigis to Orgia Modewhen the Furious Gigasshadows are below a third of their HPmay offer that additional damage you need to finish the fight, as itboosts her attack.

Akihiko is also great support here, having bothTarundato decrease one enemy’s attack, andRakundato decrease their defenses.

These are bothsingle-target moves, but with three enemies andeach spell lasting three moves, Akihiko can safely spend the battle debuffing the enemies as you inflict damage.

As the guys are working support, boththe protagonist and Yukari should be your main attackers. Break Yukari from that formation toheal as needed, but your protagonist can serve as healer if Yukari’s wind damage output is of more immediate importance.

The battle is primarily aboutkeeping your team is good shape against their physical attacks, and dealing enoughwind damageto take them down in the process before you may continue through Tartarus.
