Which arena fight? Tier 1, 2 or 3?

Anyway I might as well give you tips for all of them. Now these tips are considering you are playing on Nightmare, but they should work on all difficulties. You also said "I have all the characters".

Tier 1:
Round 1:
This should be the one with all of the jeager dropouts. And easy way to beat this one is to confuse them all with silver thorn/chaos brand. After confusing them all I recommend using dark matter EX so that they are all together and their movement is closed meaning you can spam hell gate and whatnot for a quick kill.

Round 2:
This should be the sheep. This time I recommend using Dark matter EX so that they are all together and close to eachother. After that just spam that or hell gate or anything that multi hits.

Round 3:
This should be Gilbert. This is the hard one due to the robots that are assisting him. All of their attacks can hit your characters in a group if they are close to each other. Honestly, just keep your characters away from each other and defeat the 2 robots. Richard is FANTASTIC for this since his craft (I believe luminous slash, its the one where he does like multiple fast slash attacks) has like no delay. So a decently strong richard with gladiator belts should make mince meat out of them. Kevin is obviously also good due to his S-Craft, grail sphere.

Tier 2: This is the filler tier imo but lets see. I recommend bringing in Joshua for this for reasons you will see later.
Round 1:
This should be the jeagers with their armors on. This is a bit annoying since they can easily silence (or was it seal) your characters. Honestly I just abuse dark matter EX here.

Round 2:
Now this one is where you wanna bring in Joshua. Give him 2 super gladiator head bands. Use his S-Craft. You should get enough CP to do another one. This is a rare (if not the only) instance where Joshua can do this since there are SO MANY enemies on screen. You should be able to find a video of it on youtube. I also recommend having food items that increase your CP, in case needed and give Joshua an STR boost via items/arts etc...

Round 3:
Ugh this is REALLY annoying. The small fry can put your characters to sleep. And on Nightmare they don't die as easily. If you wan't you can S-Craft spam but yeah. Honestly I don't have tips for this. I just spam Josh as much as possible.


Tier 3: This is REALLY fun. The party I recommend is: Tita (having unlocked the orbal gear by revisiting her door after unlocking agate), Kevin (Grail sphere and earth wall spam), Analece (equip Jinu to her, cause if you beat this tier with her having Jinu equipped, it gets an upgrade an becomes the best weapon in the game) and Richard (or anyone that floats your boat but I prefer Richard).

One thing about ALL rounds in this tier is that, this should be your starting turn. First off make sure all of your characters are side by side very close to each other BUT Tita is one block away from them. Just one, so that she can summon orbal gear. Tita goes for Orbal gear turn one. And the others increase their (and tita's after she starts riding the orbal gear since orbal gear cancels all status buffs and effects when you start riding it) speed and after that power.
Round 1:
This should be the duke, our fav Butler Philip and the loud General Morgan himself. Tita Rushes them so that they can't get close to your other characters. Make sure all of your characters have earth wall cast on them since on Nightmare these guys do insane amount of dmg. That being said you should be able to reduce their defence with Enfeeble art. This makes it so Tita does like 10k dmg to them per hit when buffed.

Round 2:
This should be the tank. You should know how to handle this from SC. This time you have Orbal Gear sooooo shouldn't be a problem.

Round 3:
The taito team. If I remember correctly Walter should start off by using his S-Craft so be careful. Make sure they are far from you by using Tita's charge. I don't think they are effected by enfeeble. If you think you might need it, don't be afraid of using a CP increasing food item on Kevin, cause those S-Crafts should be able to ruin your day.

Round 4:
Team Blade. (The divine BLADE and the BLADE lord)

Similar strategy to the one we used in team taito. However this team is MUCH more dangerous. As both of their S-Crafts can one shot you and their basic attacks will either one shot you or 2 shot you. DON'T be afraid to use your Zeram items here. This is THE hardest fight in the game. The final boss is a JOKE even on Nightmare. Hell the 3 bosses before the final boss can be solo'd with a well built Richard.

Tita should start first and go into Orbal gear AFTER that use Grail sphere for double protection. After that start the support casting. Tita rushes at the 2 of them so that they are far away from your characters. Analece is item support here. Kevin is earthwall ♥♥♥♥♥. Richard spams his low delay craft. And thats it. Richard and Tita should be the only close ones to the duo here. Kevin and Analece should stay far away from the two.

Don't be afraid though, while yes this is the hardest fight in the game, it is very possible to do without grinding and whatnot. Just make sure you are prepared. I recommend taking out Cassius first as he is the bigger threat of the two. But going after Loewe is fine too since he has nasty crafts and arts.


Anyway IF you wan't there should be video examples of these fights as well, so I can recommend those.

Don't dread it. Its not super hard. It just requires some preparation. In all honesty, imo, the second turn is more annoying. Its just filler. The final arena is epic as all hell, even the music reflects it. Make sure to save before you enter it (you know in case you use a valuable item and lose).

Don't forget about Jinu and Analece.
Tita is a beast in her Orbal Gear.
Kevin is the one and true earth wall ♥♥♥♥♥.
And finally Richard breaks the game.

IF you want (you don't need to) you can get the zemurian weapons too. Or get some monster drop equipements (those are REALLY OP). Again you don't need to but if you want to. The quartz "Carnage" is in abyss so you can get that inside a chest (its basically attack 6).

Also if you need Gem Tier quartz. In abyss there is a giant spider enemy that has all of the Gem Tier quartz as drops AND Gold Gem as a steal. My recommendation is:

Schera for steal.
Renne equipped with fortune, the quartz that has fortune as a side effect, phantom thief cape AND a set of equipement so that she ends up being the one who lands final hit since the drop increasing eff only applies if the equipped character lands the final blow. If you have Josette as support this should give you 100% drop rate. Renne destroys the spider with her Dark Matter EX.

2 other characters depending on your liking.

PS. (I might as well): All of the main abyss boss fights with the exception of the final one are weak against enfeeble meaning Tita can do 10k dmg to them per hit with her Orbal Gear.

Ugh, you have to Zin to enter the door. Guess I'll replace for Zin but it will be a big loss since my renne could do tear-all and heal all health in the whole area😫

Zin is only required for the first arena after beating that one you can use whoever you want and only need to use Zin for the first arena for your first beating of it.
For the first fight you can use one of his crafts to confuse the jeagers. For the second one he can be a tank and for the 3rd one just attack like you usually would.

Zin actually can dish out A LOT of dmg thanks to his crafts. Self buffing and then attacking the enemies.

Any fight with 7 or more enemies can be cheesed hilariously, and on Nightmare I found it was almost necessary for the second tier.

Take someone with a screen-wide S-break like Agate. Give him Lunar Seal and Super Gladiator to max out CP gain. With these pieces you get 15 CP for every enemy hit by any attack...including an S-break. Proceed to spam their S-break and get 105 CP back every time until everything's dead or the boss is alone.

Also Zin ends up being really good in this game. Slow, but strong physical is usually the way of things in 3rd because everything's so tanky and there's no MAG buff.

Yeah Zin is really powerful in this game. He is outclassed by Tita in raw power but still useful. And to be fair, when it comes to pure power Tita is easily the best. Orbal gear can do 10k dmg per hit.

Have you ever brought Tita to the final boss? It is hilarious. She absolutely DESTROYS the final boss. Sure the final boss is really easy but Tita 2-3 shots the pillars and quickly beats the crap out of the final boss.
