You can use Bonebreaker for On Hit: Disease (100%) if you have one. You can steal one with good reliability from the previous stage.

Bumping this so people may find it in the future.

Trial 100 is really, really simple. You don't need nihopalaoa! Here's all you need:

• A character that knows the spell Decoy AND the summon Zeromus.
  
• 1 Elixir
  
• 1 Bubble Mote

How to do it:

1. Summon Zeromus.
   
2. Turn off Gambits on Zeromus and the character that summoned it.
   
3. Let Zeromus use Bubble Mote on himself.
   
4. Cast Decoy on Zeromus.
   
5. Let Zeromus attack the judges.
   
6. Your character periodically recasts Decoy on Zeromus.
   
7. When Zeromus health gets to less than 9999, immediately cast his special attack "Big Bang". The damage formula for Big Bang is: (MaxHP - CurrentHP) * 5. So basically somewhere from 150000 to 250000 damage to ALL judges. It takes out 2-3 judges immediately.
   
8. Use Elixir on the character that summoned Zeromus.
   
9. Summon Zeromus and do it a second time, but this time you don't even need the Bubble Mote.
   
10. Done.

The whole fight takes 30 seconds.

the whole point of not using nihopa is because it is such a cheese tactic.

Zeromus tactic is even worst. It is just not fun

Then you'll just have to find another way to inflict various debuffs on each of the judges and keep them active during different points of the battle. Niho just makes this process way more efficient. Since they have an infinite supply of elixirs, you're not going to win this by just using brute force, unless maybe you're extremely overpowered with invisible weapons, etc.

The order in which you kill the judges also makes the battle easier due to the way their gambits are set up. Inflict disease on Ghis and pour everything into killing him first, then put immobilize on Drace and lead the rest of them away from her. Focus on killing Bergan next, then Drace, then put Zargabaath to sleep while you kill Gabranth, or else he'll keep tossing elixirs.

Also, once you kill Ghis, he's the only one with a Foe:status=Reverse-> Elixir, so after he's gone you can get a reverse / decoy tank going again. I think Gabranth will toss a X-potion on a reversed ally, but that's less of a worry than his normal attacks anyway. Just make sure your reversed tank has a way of healing themselves other than absorbing enemy attacks.
