I had no idea this was considered a hard fight. I’m not trying to brag, but I’ve never had a problem with it using a level 3 party. I don’t use any stragedies and barely any spells. I just put one tank out front and have everybody else range. The red caps are spread out enough that you can take them down easy a they approach. I guess if you started the fight in the middle of them that would be a problem, but otherwise I don’t see what is so difficult.
