against opponents with weak attacks (sylph and alma elma for when you don't have gnome), you can use guard to take smaller damage and use this opportunity to charge or meditate.

at the very least, i hold out til 300 or 200 HP without meditating, which has given me ample time to use serene mind and charge at least three or four times.

like i said, it's time consuming to do this, but this way you don't suffer heavy damage than if you don't use guard. also, this way so you can actually plan something rather than rely on luck.

this trick saved me against all the opponents in part 2, even when i don't have gnome (and the guard trick which you learn from alice on the boat is far more effective when you have gnome).
