How the hell do i defeat Zorba

[737]

Yeah focus one zombie, but I focus one zombie each turn and I never hit the boss. Plus it doesn't help that this game hates you and refuses to give you mana. I'm stuck with no mana and a bunch of damage taken from Zorba.

go 3 warriors. spam peerless stonecleaver on zorba and 2 shot him

To recover mana, change your main character into a mage and go back to the early floors and kill low-level enemies with the field attack - each enemy stunned or killed will restore 1 mp to all party members.

I personally beat Zorba with 2 brawlers and a healer. I used the second attack the brawlers get (I don't remember the name) to focus down Zorba and kept them alive with the healer's group heal.

Also regarding mana recovery, if you're not on the final day before a game over you can also rest. You're allowed to leave the dungeon and your party will take the rest of the day off and recover at an inn and you'll be able to return right back to the last rest area

If you are outta mana, get out of the dungeon and rest.

For Zorba, I attack the zombies and get extra turn and then spam Synthesis skills.

use the mage to hit weak enemies so you recover mana for your party

you are free to play as optimally or unoptimally as you wish you paid for the game but clearly the op asked how to most efficiently beat the boss

[Nibbie]

I did it with Brawler using Energy Ray or whatever his synthesis skill that does heavy light damage is, it 1-shots the zombie as long as the brawler is high health and gives you extra turns to heal and dps afterward. You just need enough mana to keep up with the heals, which if you don't want to use an extra day by going back to town, can be farmed with mage on the MC killing weak enemies near the start of the dungeon a few times.

I think that if you have a mage, you can use multi target fire skills to get turn bonuses from and damage the zombies and still do good damage to zorba.

This is the best tip. There is never any point during the game where you should waste days leaving the dungeon. You have the mage as early as the mine.

Thanks for the comments but I've already beaten the game last month!
