Pfffft. Phaethon, #4 in Zeus' Mercy, is harder than all the others put together, even with max Kylin + Zeus' Cloak + Laevteinn + Hero's Pride + Greetings at Doorsteps + Spartan Charms, M50 and almost perfect triple wash. Other NPCs in this game have more raw power, obviously. But none have a harder formation. Thunder mage that almost never fails is horrible enough already. Now add a total defense blocker protecting it, a fire mage protected by a block+dodge spamming Noct-caster at the opposite corner, and a cyclone mage in the middle, and you've got the perfect nightmare. Heck, if you replaced the mages with Odin's troop type, removed the self-damage, and gave him a crit every turn, the resulting fight would be an order of magnitude easier.
Roughly 450 tries (give or take ~50) with no end in sight.
