Agreed. You must avoid Wiegraf completely while you 'Yell' about 25-30 times at yourself. After 'Yelling', you should 'Accumulate' at least 10 times as well. If you get hit, it is also a good idea to have Chemist's Item skill as one of your two skills so you can take an X-potion. Or even better, use auto-potion and drop all of your potions and hi-potions out of your inventory before starting the battle. I hope you have some of these skills available to you: Guts (Yell), Item (Xpotion), Auto Potion, Two Swords, Move +3.; they are a very useful combo for the first battle. You could even go as a Ninja with Guts as a secondary and Equip Armor instead of Two Swords, but Auto Potion and Yell are a must. Be sure your equipment provides as much Movement (Germainas or Battle Boots) and HP (heaviest armor and helmet/thief hat) as possible. Attack Power and Speed are not as important because you will be boosting them up up up during the battle.
After using this strategy in the Weigraf battle, Velius never stands a chance against you because the increased Speed and Attack Power carry over into the second battle!! If you worry about your other, slower characters getting hit (which they probably won't), give them the lancer ability Jump if they have it, or MP Switch. They can either fly up into the air and avoid attacks or get hit for MP damage instead of HP. Either way "Super Teru" should kill Velius in 3 or 4 moves at the most. Good Luck, let us know what happens.
