Wild ARMs 4 Raquel solo - Blaze Toad

This is a segment from my Raquel solo run. The rules are as follows:

-Characters other than Raquel can only Guard.
-Characters other than Raquel must be under level 10 (this is done by equipping the Monopoly Gourd on Raquel).
-Characters other than Raquel must use their initial equipment. No Alter Parts may be used for Jude's ARM.
-No items that can be only gotten through New Game+ carry overs can be used.

This is done on New Game+ only to have access to the Monopoly Gourd to keep other characters' levels in check. Nothing carried over from the previous playthrough will be used.

Optional superboss time! For most of these I won't be using Equites. Why? Because Equites is broken and Raquel doesn't need to be any more broken than she already is. Besides, it's more fun this way.

This is the Blaze Toad, found in Platapana Passage. His attacks include confusion and a fire magic attack. Raquel innately resists fire, so that makes this fight a bit easier. Still difficult though.

Blaze Toad has 85000 HP and normal attacks deal about 5000-6000. Safe to say it'd take a long time to deal enough HP that way to kill him. So I used Poison Bite. Poison deals 2500 damage for every turn he gets, and since he's getting more than twice as many turns as Raquel, this is more effective. After hitting him with poison, just wait until he dies, healing when needed and attacking when healthy to quicken the process. Critical hits will help a lot, since they ignore defense.

There's actually a quicker way to do this battle, but it's more risky. Blaze Toad is weak to water, and there's a water leypoint, so getting there and spamming Dragon Edge is effective. However, Blaze Toad doesn't really like moving unless it has a (semi) good reason to, and I don't think it considers an enemy in the water hex a good reason since he can do more damage with Cremation to them. I've tried it before, and he wouldn't move for a really long time. But if you can get him to move, it should be faster.

Setup:
Level 61
Great Sword - 1420 ATP, 2 ACN, -5 HIT
Cromwell - 590 DFP, 470 MGR, +20 EVA
Goat Doll - One time revival to 1 HP.
Clear Chime - Confusion immunity.
