Battle
Having Shell in this battle helps greatly. Shemhazai has a random elemental weakness, thus it is advised to use non-elemental weapons. At the beginning of the battle, Shemhazai likes to cast Silencega or Silence, or use Syphon to drain MP away. By luck, one can squeeze in a Dispel before being inflicted by Silence.

Shemhazai's attacks consist of magick and standard attacks, but her standard attacks have a high chance of inflicting Disease and Silence. Shell can be used to reduce the rate of being inflicted with statuses. She also likes to use Shock and Flare.

Shemhazai uses Syphon, which drains about 20 - 30% of a character's MP. When her health depletes about 40%, Shemhazai will ready Chain-Magick, which cancels her magick charge time. During this time, she likes to blast high-level Black Magick spells.
