Going Solo - Name of the test is Fire and Ice Do not be hasty on defeating your enemy. The Garms have good teamwork to knock you out with it variety of skills. Bring along Fire and Ice-affinity weapons or spells. If you don't have any, you can use Agilao Stones and Bufula Stones; they are much powerful than the basic stones. Perform "Item Mixing" ("PC" → "Item Mixing"), add 5 Agi or Bufu Stones in Slot 1 and another 5 in Slot 2, this will produce 1-4 Stones. Continue until you have a good amount. If not set already, add Counter and Dodge to your Hotkey Command. Optional: Add Guard command if you are a melee. Lure 1 enemy at a time and defeat them. Use your Demon to back you up when neeeded. Ice and Fire Fusion Spells can be devastating when used correctly at the right time.

Tips and Advice on Service Entrance

Enemy Demon Weakness Imp of Chaos Shikigami Force Penetrate Fire - - - Imp of Chaos Oni Long Range Penetrate Spread Magic Nerve Mind Going with a Party Have each member face 1 Imp of Chaos Shikigami or work together and then attack Imp of Chaos Oni last. Careful, Imp of Chaos Oni is aggressive when he sees you. Going Solo First, summon your Brave Garm and use Fire Breath. This skill will deal fire-based damage in front of the demon and knockback the enemies. By setting up Fire Breath now, Brave Garm will act as a "stationary tank". Next, use Agi or other Fire-based damage to attack Imp of Chaos Shikigami. After you use the item or skill, lure them to your Brave Garm and press the Fire Breath skill. Repeat until all the Shikigami are defeated. Brave Garm can be obtained from Snakeman after your Character reached Level 10. Talk with Snakeman; "Talk about recent conditions". Brave Garm learns the skill Fire Breath at Level 13. After all the Shikigami are defeated, and not confident on close combat, use long range method; such as bringing a gun or a Demon for example Pixie with Kiss Throw skill. Kiss Throw is a Mind-affinity, will deal weakness damage to Oni. Just make sure Oni don't get too close to your Pixie. If you still got a stock for an offensive Fusion Spell, use it on Oni.
