Can we just appreciate the design philosophy behind the *CoV Law Route Final Boss Fight*
I just really love that Tehom heavily encourages the practice of bringing an entire army of demons with various elements rather than simply having an ace team with like 1 or 2 backup demons a lot of players seem to adopt. Tehom actively punishing you with the HP/MP/Sleep move for not being able to target a weakness is one way they discourage this team building practice. Sure, you could just chuck gems your ace team doesn't cover, but your damage with just gems isn't really gonna be that great for those turns.

Tehom has a ♥♥♥♥ ton of HP, but it can actually get burned through fairly quickly if you set up your formations properly (Ex. utilizing Dance comps) and only target one weakness per turn to get the most out of the weakness spread before the reset. And plus, changing out your formation regularly means that Tehom's AI will just throw the element you just used against it at the demons who likely straight up null/drain/repel it anyway, so you're actively rewarded when constantly switching.

I did it with gems and my three favorite demons just fine. No need to switch at all. Nahobino eating massive chunks of its HP with allmighty, Serpent Nuwa with force spells, Beelzebub with ice and death and Sakuya with fire. Didn't think the fight was particularily long either. Didn't even get to see what happens if you don't hit any weaknesses in one turn.
