I only get one rank from it these days. :(

So.

Hanuman.

HOLY CRAP THAT DUNGEON >_<

Now, fortunately, my healer team has 38000 HP and auto-heals about 16k per round. It's ridiculously tanky. (Thank you, DK's Awoken Amaterasu!)

But I went literally ONE HUNDRED ROUNDS without putting a substantial dent in Hanuman's HP. One time I got him down to around 75% HP, but he heals very aggressively. Most of his attacks do 12k-18k damage, so I could tank him more or less indefinitely, but wearing down his HP was a very slow process before I realized I had a better strategy available to me thanks to my active skill loadout.

My strategy became to keep enough offensive output going to keep his heals from making too much progress, then use Christmas Archangel's three-turn-delay active OFFENSIVELY -- delay him when he uses his "absorb combos of 6 or less" move, clear junk orbs for a turn, then use the next three rounds to make progress on his HP. Every 2nd or 3rd time around of this pattern, Sandalphon's active came up, and giving me way more offensive power for those rounds. Amaterasu's active was used not for the HP or bind recovery but for the skill charge as frequently as possible.

Then when Hanuman's HP got down to around 15%, I backed off on the pressure until I had all of my actives charged so I could nuke him down during a delay so I wouldn't leave him alive at sub-10% where he'd one-shot me.

@.@

And now I look at him and see that his max skill rank is freaking 21. They want you to farm that freaking dungeon THAT MANY TIMES to skill him up.
