Is that the attack that he sort of charges up for first? If so, you can weaken the attack significantly. First you may want to make sure everyone's health is high just to be safe (but don't take too long with that), then just hit him with Relentless Assault! Once you do enough damage he'll grunt, and that means you've weakened the attack. If the damage dealt is still too much, you may want to use a Sentinel.

I forget the name of the attack, it's been a few months (man, I have to get back into this game!), but are you referring to the one that causes instantaneous death to everyone (I guess it's not Barthandelus)?

If so, then you can buy accessories that make you immune to death -- equip as many as possible (each one gives a ~25% resistance to death; the maximum is 80%, which is plenty, especially applied to every character). I'm away on work, so I don't have the book with me to tell you the name of the accessory... In fact, the book tells you to equip them -- be sure to re-read that part at the end of the last chapter.

The method laid out by the previous poster works too... efficient and quick paradigm changes will do the trick against Barthandelus in just about any situation... when you go on the offensive, always hit as hard as you can. I don't think my strategy is exactly on par with the book, so it comes down to what you're comfortable with (concerning the paradigm deck I used).

Very good concise response which nails it. The name of the accessory is cherubs crown which also upgrades to seraphs crown. Rapidity in paradigm shifts is the key. Upgrading weapons helps.

Something that I've found that helps tremendously is to switch to 2 sentinels and a medic a few seconds before the destructo spell is cast. It really does wonders for your hp.
