LOL i wasnt having trouble defeating shinryu, i beat him on level 47 using magic offense and physical offense type strategies and i was lookin for a new way to beat him.

And it turns out this way actually made shinryu EASY! i wanna try beating him on level 30 with that method coz i have no doubts it can be done. (i was on level 48 for this method)

you cant really lose. have your 1st character hold masamune, cast beserk on shinryu and then cast haste2. all your characters will attack before shinryu. put up golem and attack a couple of times. in his first attack he will most likely miss if you have the genji/crystal shields, mirage vests and defender blades equipped ect so dont even need to re-cast golem. on your next turn try to steal from him or hit him some more. if he manages to break golem just re-cast him. you cant actually lose
