Dark Priest Counters

How do I deal with these? They put up the guard when the turn is already rolling, so I can't just avoid the ones that are active.

You be faster than them, or you suffer through it. That's about the only way to deal with them. They are a miserable enemy to fight.

Thanks, that answers it. My only faster characters right now are a venerator and seeker so I guess I'll just avoid these fights.

♥♥♥♥ dark priests and z-eggs, thankfully they only spawn in very limited areas

They counter magic too iirc. I used lamp fog and got absolutely BODIED.

Can't say I fought a lot of them, but it seems like they can counter either melee or magic, and will continue doing it for few turns. I usually went in strategy mode, waited first turn, looked which counter stance they used (stragey mode show move names), then attack with something they will not counter.

Lamp normal attack combines phy and mag, should use magic donum

Lamp Fog is the name of a magic Donum. They have two counters, one for physical and one for magical. They also generally get to act a few times a turn, especially in the case of the one you have to fight, meaning they'll likely have both up.

You can always attack them with tanks (they laugh at counter damage) but it takes ages to kill them that way unless your team is full of tanks so ended up mostly avoiding them and grinding elsewhere.
