Battle[]
Its tail attacks deal damage within an arc, so it's possible for some of the girls to avoid them if they're spread out. It breathes fire that hits all targets in a range. Zalamander is immune to magic.
Strategy[]
It is recommended to bring along Light Curtains or have the ability to cast Protect to reduce the damage it can do with its strong physical attacks, and also be able to absorb or nullify Fire-elemental attacks. The Heart of Flame garment grid is particularly good for this, giving the party Fire Eater.
Despite Zalamander being immune to magic elemental items can harm it, so Ice Gems, Fish Scales, and Electro Marbles can chip away at its HP. The player can equip the Dark Knight dressphere on all the girls to deal maximum physical damage with attacks.
If you don't care about speed, you can easily defeat it with a party of one Songstress (preferably with First Strike), one White Mage, and one physical attacker. Darkness Dance, pray, physical attack; repeat.
