Editing Cardinal Sin (section)

==Strategy==
Cardinal Sin is probably the hardest boss the player has encountered at this point in the game. He can attack twice in one round making things difficult. He can use Fire-based techniques like [[Flame Slash]] and [[Sizzle]]. His Bang spell can hurt the party as well. Cardinal Sin can also cast Magic Barrier that can nullify attack magic against him. However, his most powerful attack is when he hurls energy balls at the party. They hit for ~70 damage each and should they hit the same party member, it is most likely that that person will die.

If the player has equipped the [[Magic vestment]] bought from the Pilgrim's Rest Casino on both {{Maribel}} and [[Ruff]], the damage received from Cardinal Sin's spells will be lessened.

Jacqueline will be a help becoming another target for Cardinal Sin's attack. She can also cast [[Crackle]] and attack for 30 damage. The {{Hero 7}} should cast [[Buff]] on everyone, especially Maribel. Then he should attack, stopping only to cast [[Midheal]] on anyone that needs it. Ruff should attack. Avoid using Howl as he will dodge it. Instead, focus on physical attacks. Maribel should be given the Salvation Stone and become the designated healer. She should cast [[Sap]] on Cardinal Sin twice though it should be noted that he does have some resistance to Sap. The party, before this fight, can find three [[Yggdrasil leaf|Yggdrasil leaves]]. One should be given to a party member so that in the event that one should die in this fight, they will be immediately resurrected. It is also possible to put Cardinal Sin to sleep to prevent him from attacking, either by using Maribel's [[Snooze]] or using a [[Snooze stick]] as a tool in battle if it was purchased from Pilgrim's Perdition. His resistance to [[Dazzle]] is minimal, so it can be a good idea to have Maribel cast it on him early at the beginning of the battle to lower his chances of landing attacks on the party. However, it is only recommended to do this early in the fight as his Magic Barrier will increase his spell resistance.

Expect a long fight. Make sure that the party's health stays above 70 {{HP}} and Cardinal Sin will eventually be defeated.
