Wild ARMs 4 Raquel solo - Biber Zehr

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 Biber Zehr, a bird found in Dragon Fossil Mine. Its only direct damage is its physical attack, but it has a lot of nasty status effects: poison, disease, sleep, and instant death. It is also a flying monster, which halves melee accuracy, and it also immunes poison. Sounds like a good Raquel spoiler, doesn't it?

Well, the fight ended up easier than I thought. I only opted to block the Poison/Disease statuses, but equipped a Goat Doll for insurance against the instant death (or him just plain killing me). But my biggest issue was damaging him. With halved accuracy, normal physicals weren't going to do much, and poison wasn't going to work at all. So the solution is Dragon Edge. Biber Zehr is weak against Earth, and there's an Earth leypoint on the field (albeit two hexes away). So I went there and spammed Dragon Edge, hoping to get some hits (still halved accuracy, remember?), since it'll do a lot of damage due to Raquel's Exploit Weakness skill, which doubles damage if it hits a weakness (anyone who says that skill is useless is a LIAR). Turns out I got lucky and it never missed.

Setup:
Level 62
Great Sword - 1420 ATP, 2 ACN, -5 HIT
Cromwell - 590 DFP, 470 MGR, +20 EVA
Goat Doll - One time revival to 1 HP
Frog Badge - Immunity to hex-based statuses (Poison/Disease/Misery/Amnesia).

How is the boss music determined for the superbosses? When I fought these guys I got the regular boss music but against Sapphire Drake and Mictlantecuhtli I got this song. This bird was pretty easy but nice vid still.
