I'm having a real hard time with Alex's Soul in Purgatory B3F, rerolled my fighters to neutral (they're all level 9 now) so I had a chance of actually hitting him but they're still using extremely basic weapons like hand axes and short swords (my battle axes/hammers can't even hit the boss!). What's the secret to beating this dude? The wiki says he has "204-400 HP and when I am using shitty short swords that can hit the boss it with 5 minute long encounters it feels like I am barely able to do enough HP to kill him but he just never drops. Did some reading and he regens 10% health every turn it looks like.
Also am I doing something extremely wrong or where am I supposed to get better gear from? Trading with the shop has been largely worthless and I'm not seeing much of anything from chest/enemy drops much less a special weapon to be used against spirits for example.
Update: rerolled two fighters to neutral, noticed I could make samurai now so I did, sliced the boss up!
Dungeon 3 boss is absolutely wrecking my shit one shotting party members every other turn, I got a couple blade cuisinarts from trading but I think I need to grind up my fighters/ninja to level 12-14 and somehow find better armor to beat this dude this is insane.
Leveled up my fighters one level each since they were way closer than I thought to leveling, then I found out debuffs can stack or something? Two diltos and I'm hitting every turn doing awesome damage, this encounter was made WAY easier after this discovery!
Castle B3F has me wanting to start drinking again I don't know if I can get through this, I'm reloading pretty much every other encounter like a guy earlier in this thread said he had to do as well.
Fought my way to castle B4F, smoke bombs are my best friend here as I creep through.
