Just do that in mundane random battles BEFORE the boss, then come at Altimus with units with Brave 97 out of battle. Use the time you'd spend on Cheer Up using Scream instead.

I train obsessively in random battles (I know every square inch of Mandalia Plains by heart ), so I rarely, if ever, need those skills. I prefer Counter or Counter Flood, or Dragon Spirit and Sunken State if I do need any defense. I agree with you partly, I rarely use Orlandu--usually I'll bring him into the important battles as a "panic button", just in case I get in trouble. (Which I rarely do.)
