So the question will change.

Let's suppose I will level up. Should I beat Ultima Weapon BEFORE or AFTER that?
NOTHING is hard if you junction properly. An Elnoyle is peanuts compared to Ultima Weapon.

You might want to beat Ultima Weapon before hand. There are lots of Ruby Dragons and Behemoths on the way, from which you could get your energy crystals.
