* * *

Strategy for killing Andariel: Run circles around her casting Hydra.

Or: Heero run up and smack her.
Trowa cast Volcano under her ass, then send wolves.
Duo send minions, and cast bone spear.
Quatre cast hydra, meteor or fireball
Wufei toss fire traps, wake of inferno and lightning sentinels.

* * *

Strategy for killing Duriel: Cast firewall under his arse and try not to get killed. Having rejuvenation potions helps. A lot. Use Static Field!!! Doi!

Or: Heero range attacks? Or just cast pretty auras and smack it.
Trowa cast volcano/armageddon, turn werebear and smack it dead.
Duo's minions do hardcore smackage and cast teeth/bone spear.
Quatre casts firewall under it's ass until dead or reasonably facsimile.
Wufei do nifty dragon charge up and ass-kickage or fire traps and wake of inferno.

* * *

Strategy for killing Mephisto: Stay the hell away from him, his lightning attacks will hurt you badly. Meteor, run away. Meteor, run away. Meteor, run away. Meteor, run away. Repeat ad infinitum, ad nauseum until he is toasty.

Or: Heero casts thorns. He wacks him good.
Trowa goes werebear and smacks him good. Minions help.
Duo casts an amplify damage curse, sends minions, casts bone spear and runs away. Cast poison nova on Mephisto's minions.
Quatre casts meteor and runs away, ad infinitum ad nauseum until he is toasty.
Wufei: Throws nifty traps and such. And stays the hell away. And kills minions. He'll like that.

* * *

Strategy for killing Diablo: Meteor, firewall, stay the hell away. Minions get killed too easily and they are expensive. However, Town Portals are relatively cheap, so fear them not. Potions are your friend...

Or: Heero casts thorns, runs up and whacks him.
Trowa casts long range stuff (whirlwind), sends in minions and stays away.
Duo casts bone prison, sends minions (fire golems), casts bone spear and stays away.
Quatre casts meteor, firewall and hydra. And cold stuff, like ice ball (a sphere of frozen death. I love it!) and glacial spike.
Wufei: Tosses traps and maybe does some nifty charge ups/finishing moves.

* * *

Strategy for killing Baal: Very carefully and with lots o' town portals and potions. Umm, hydra, cold stuff, meteor, fire wall, anything I could think of. And avoid the finger things.

Or: Heero casts thorns, whacks him.
Trowa casts long range stuff, sends minions, goes werebear, whackety whackety whack.
Duo casts bone prison, sends minions, bone spear, amplify damage, etc.
Quatre casts anything he can toss at him. Avoid getting hit.
Wufei casts charge ups/finishing moves, traps and whacks him.
