Battle
Gugs usually travel with other enemies. It has an innate +10 Defense Up status. During its Defensive Stance Gug will counter any attack done to it with Double Punch. In Oversoul Gug has access to Level 3 elemental spells and the dangerous Flare spell, as well as being able to use Dark Matter.
Strategy
It is advised to quickly bring them down by hitting them with powerful attacks such as Excalibur or Black Sky, or by using Armor Break and Power Break to reduce their stats. In addition, the Samurai's Fingersnap can quickly remove its innate +10 Defense Up status.
If fought in Oversoul, it is advised to set up Shell on the party before engaging itand to use high-powered attacks to bring it down. One can also use Reflect, but would still need to look out for Gug's Dark Matter.
Keeping a stack of Mega Potion and Mega Phoenix will go a long way, or having an Alchemist in the party with those abilities learned.
Gugs usually travel with other enemies, so it is advised to take out any other enemies first before engaging them.
