I'll be honest, I'm mostly reading this for the gameplay, hoping to gather a few hints for when I do this stuff on hard. Hard mode is looking to be pretty nasty even WITH those bonuses, but still doable. Also, for people with dangerous crap like that Killer Axe, I like to make them switch to their inaccurate and weaker ranged weapon, unless I have a bunch of ranged attackers to pick them off with(and pick up via rescuing). Also, funny how the few people able to whoop that boss are the ones prone to being crit the most thanks to low base/growth in luck. All the more reason to keep him from using that Killer Axe if possible.
