Strategy
Fighting Bots is an easy way to quickly gain experience points. Have somebody cast either Burn or Flare, followed by Nina casting Sever. If this is successful, this will create Firewind, a first level Fire and Wind combo. The third attacker should be Ershin defending, so that she doesn't use her Covering Fire will and accidentally kill one of the Bots. The next turn should be used to heal the Bots, and the next turn as well. On the fourth turn, the bots will revert to their normal state, allowing them to be ruptured again and thereby further increasing the amount of experience points they award. Repeat the process 8 times to get a maximum of 65536 EXP per bot. If Nina's WIS stat gets too high -- thereby creating a risk that her spell will kill the bots -- use another party member to create a combo.
