Tips[]

See testimonials and discussions.
Golem's cover can be dispelled, and physical attacks with a DEF ignore component will bypass his cover.
Against Dark Shiva's attacks bring ice and dark resistance for the party. Bring party-wide silence resistance as needed, and charm resistance against the ST attack.
Against Dark Golem's attacks bring earth resistance for the party. Bring sleep, confuse, and stop resistance for the party.
Dark Shiva's attacks are mostly magic damage, though her phys AoE Shooting Hail will occur every turn below 50% HP.
When passing multiple thresholds, each dark esper's threshold attacks will be triggered on the proceeding turns. e.g. If Dark Golem is damaged to <40% HP from 81% HP, then for the next 3 turns it will use Fragmental Rock.
