Boxed Phalanx should be the party's main target. If the party is having trouble with it, they should start out with Bully (COM/SAB/SYN) or Evened Odds (MED/SAB/SYN). The party should buff up with Haste, Bravery, or Faith and Enthunder or Enwater, then switch to Relentless Assault (COM/RAV/RAV) and attack. One may also want to use a Ravager that knows Thundaga to keep the Hoplites at bay.
