MGQP superboss guide

Recommended races (not exhaustive)
Slime: for slime division (double turn) (mega slime skill)
Sea-dweller (seadragon dancer): for timewarp dance, access to sing/dance
Minor Chaos: status immunities, access to dark + time + machine skills
Angels: for holy skills
Minotaur: axe skills ignore def
Harpy: for sky dance

General notes:
- Holy martyr/endure are useful abilities to have for all members
- Carbuncle/Phoenix (Summoner) are useful skills to have on all members; Spiritualist gives 'skill use: summoning' ability
- Keep vicarious clara (necromancer)/electromagnetic armor (machine master) refreshed on all members
- Deal damage with whatever works (holy/dark/machina/axe/demon arts/black magic etc.)
- Clear status effects with saints recovery (holy skill) or other skill; Hild is good for this since she has access to holy skills while being immune to status effects with Minor Chaos race
	- If you have trouble with status effects, farm ribbons or use Minor Chaos monsters
- Holy/dark skills cannot be dodged or reflected (this works both ways)
- Time magic is effective on most bosses
- Song/Dance skills are useful to buff the team
- Stage time (special)(double turn for 4 turns, sing/dance only) is strong but risky; good to use in conjunction with time warp dance (seadragon dancer)

- All bosses can clear your teams buffs, including deflectors such as clara
- Usually you want at least one member refreshing clara every turn
- Unless noted, most bosses are vulnerable to 'stop' effect

You will need lockpick II (or relevant accessory) to open the green chest behind the boss.

The bosses:
Adramalech (debuffs effective)
- easiest boss
- debuff her agility, and your team is faster
- debuff her defense and you can deal 50k+ damage per turn with regular skills (eg. multiweapon)
note: Alice is great here since she learns weakening (debuff) dance (from Snake Miko race?)

Morrigan (carbuncle effective) (silence effective)
- most of her attacks can be reflected/dodged, except for aero
- is vulnerable to silence
- stop/clara etc etc
- drops a weaker version of the scroll in the green chest

Astaroth
- stop/clara etc etc

Alice XVI (kiratsu stun effective) (carbuncle effective) (evasion effective)
- basically the same as the normal Alice XVI, most skills can be reflected/dodged with carbuncle and harpy dance
- monster lord's cruelty has extra hits, but a fresh clara should block it
- she is vulnerable to the stun from sparkle/kiratsu (song skill)
- stop/clara etc etc
- drops the same thing as the normal Alice XVI

Sphinx (slow/stop resistant) (multi-hit spells) (carbuncle effective)
- from my experience, slow/stop does not work
- most of her spells can be reflected with carbuncle for good dmg
- clara for the rest
- note: you will need carbuncle or the spells will break clara
- drops the same thing as normal sphinx

Soniamazuda (holy)
- uses holy skills
- carbuncle/harpy dance are not very useful
- according to wiki can be affected by paralysis and temptation
- stop/clara etc etc

Michaela (physical reflect) (physical nullification)
- will reflect physical attacks (note: machine skills cannot be reflected but deal 0 damage)
- carbuncle/harpy dance are not very useful
- stop/clara etc etc
- drops a sword

Lucifina (magic reflect) (uses daystar, death sword chaos star) (evasion effective)
- will reflect magic attacks, including time magic
- vulnerable to time warp dance (seadragon dancer) still
- uses daystar (nullifies and counters everything for 1 turn)
- uses death sword chaos star (multi hit physical), harpy dance recommended to dodge or it may break clara
- according to wiki is vulnerable to silence
- stop/clara etc etc
- drops venus shield (magic reflect +50%), a sword

Soniaman'yu (dark) (physical nullification) (multi hit darkness)
- nullifies physical attacks
- uses dark skills
- multi-hit darkness skill may break clara on some members
- according to wiki can be stunned by sparkle/kiratsu
- according to wiki can be stunned by opening surprise box
- stop/clara etc etc

Reaper (stop resistant) (can be slowed) (carbuncle effective) (evasion effective) (multi hit darkness) (chaos drive)
- hardest boss, hopefully you got some decent items from beating other bosses
- immune to stop
- vulnerable to slow, if you have 500+ agility you will outspeed her after slow

- has normal reaper skills + more darkness skills + chaos drive
- chaos drive (nero's 3 turn timestop) is a pain, if used with buff clear your team is likely dead
- multihit darkness attack can break clara on some members
- old skills can still be dodged/blocked
- carbuncle/harpy dance is recommended to preserve clara

- a strategy that has worked for me is to drain her mp
- she has 9999 mp, properly equipped members can steal ~90+ with a dance
- slime division or stage time may be used to get extra turns in (they don't stack, sadly)
- chaos drive and buff cleanse cost mp, without these reaper is much more manageable

- drops same thing as normal reaper
