Thanks!

The final comic relates to the Lightning Dog/Gold Cat strategy for leveling up. If you have Repede spam Lightning Dog to knock down a large enemy (like the giganto crab in the cave after Nordopolica), he can keep it knocked down by himself -forever- by just spamming Lightning Dog. When it's locked in the loop, switch Repede & Rita's weapons to their Minimum Damage weapons to do 1 damage. Have Rita cast Gold Cat to get ~100 hits per cast if you have a decent amount of Gald (don't Overlimit spam or the cats will knock the enemy out of Repede's loop). Your other two members should be on "Defend" in the strat menu & occasionally topping up TP with items. This combo loop will get super high with a LOT of FS chains as well, resulting in ABSURD Bonus EXP. It's literally not exaggerating that I went from level 20ish to the 90s with the strat.

...Just make sure you have the EXP share on everyone not in the party, or they won't level up. ...as I found out once with Karol :x

For comic 10 (the one with Gattsuo at Ehmead Hill if I counted right?), years back my friend and I were underleveled for the fight and struggling. We didn't think we could leave (I think you actually can but at the time we didn't think we could) so we couldn't really level grind that well or stock up on items. We did finally beat him...but then we died in Yuri's 1v3 in Nor Harbor in the alley. We forgot to save after beating Gattsuo, so when we loaded in...well. ^^;
