Odin...what am I doing wrong?

[Doc_Simulac]

I just tried this battle 20 times in a row...
with that infuriating 30 seconds it takes to get from the game over screen to the battle evrytime.

He's killing Hope in ONE single string of attack.
Before I can revive him he kills me...
20 times in a row...

I have both spark rings at lv 3
I'm using...
rav/rav
Com/rav
med/med
and fortisol before the battle...
nothing but frustration...

You want:
COM/SYN (default)
COM/RAV
RAV/RAV
RAV/RAV
RAV/MED
COM/MED

Toss a Potion as Odin starts his first attack string to help Hope stay alive. You want Protect and Shell on both characters before you move into chain building; this plus Potion use should make it much easier to survive. Use just enough COM to keep the chain going and otherwise focus on as much RAV as you can fit in. Plan on using Potions in addition to (or instead of) Hope's MED throughout the fight. If available, equipping Doctor's Code on Lightning takes Potions from good to amazing at this point of the game.

You can still use a Fortisol if you want but it shouldn't be necessary, and you may want to save it for later use (I highly recommend Fortisols at the end of chapter 5 and/or the end of chapter 7).

If Odin kills Hope so easily, start with MED/SYN and don't change until he's buffed.
Then, when Odin's shield isn't up, just use MED/MED. When it's up, RAV/RAV and COM/RAV. I did it this way and it worked.

Thanks guys.
I tried both of your advice and got him on the 3rd try.
I did have the com/syn paradigm, I just forgot to list it here.

Definitely a bit of luck involved.
I managed to keep Hope alive enough to buff him up.
Then switched between rav/rav and med/med as needed.
I did have to revive Hope once.
But I finished the battle with 5 Star.
😁
Many thanks!

The fight is consistant to do if you manage to separate Lightning from Hope by using Attack a couple of time before only using magic.
