The fights

Malamoeba

Level 200

Works the same as the normal Krobes. The monsters summon a Malamoeba, which absorbs all the damage they take; hitting it directly is not recommended, as it reduces damage taken by 50%. Eliminate it before its 3rd turn, otherwise it kills the whole team in one blow.

Bacterrible

Level 200

Invulnerable, like the other Krobes: to eliminate it, no opponent must be within 5 range of it at the start of its turn, 5 turns in a row. Keep it at a distance from the start.

Black Distant Restoration

At the start of each turn, removes 1 turn of bewitchment from all characters more than 5 range away from the Bacterrible. Removes 2 MP for 1 turn from those who move it.

Viring

Level 200

To eliminate her, do not remove any MP from her and do not move her for 5 turns in a row (all movements count, even those of her allies). Tip: block her against a wall and deal push damage to her; she loses 1 MP for each push damage taken. Start with the Virings and the Bacterribles.

Black Mobile Restoration

Loses 1 MP for the whole fight with each push damage taken, with no counter reset. If she is moved or someone tries to remove MP from her, she regains those MP, gains 2 for 1 turn and becomes immovable for 1 turn.

Pathogerm

Level 200

To eliminate it, hit it with all 4 elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Air) every turn, 5 turns in a row. Deal with it once the Virings and the Bacterribles are under control; if you can, apply the conditions to all the monsters from turn 1 to finish everything by turn 5. Other spells seen in this fight, all monsters combined:

Germinal Impact

Hits for 400 Neutral in a cross of size 1. From 3 to 10 range, 2 times per turn, 1 times per target.
Ketchpup

Hits for 300 Earth in a cone of size 3 and removes 5% resistances for 2 turns (8 on a critical hit). At 1 range, 1 times per turn.
Viral Injection

Hits for 400 Water in a line of size 13 and removes 20 tackle for 2 turns (25 on a critical hit). At exactly 1 range, 2 times per turn, 1 times per target.
Cellular Reconstruction

Heals 50% of max HP (75% on a critical hit). Up to 2 range, 2 times per turn, 1 times per target.
Sticky Breath In

Pulls 6 cells (10 on a critical hit), hits for 450 Air and removes 2 MP for 1 turn (4 on a critical hit). In a line up to 10 range, 2 times per turn, 1 times per target.
Conjuntivsprytus

Hits for 500 Earth and removes 6 range for 1 turn (2 turns on a critical hit). From 8 to 12 range, 1 times per turn.
