Strategy

Due to its Scissors typing, Rancoeur is generally easier to defeat early on, as most party members deal neutral damage to it, whereas Amertume resists both Siffrin's and Mirabelle's attacks. However, once Odile obtains the Paper α V skill, Amertume can be easily dealt with, especially if Odile receives an attack buff from Isabeau.

Isabeau is extremely valuable when fighting this group of enemies because he can counteract the Rancoeur's buffs and Amertume's debuffs. Memory of Reflection is not worth equipping, because its defense buff is negated in Amertume's first turn.

Rancoeur and Amertume possess identical stats, leaving which one to deal with first up to player preference.

Trivia
