Big Guard, ForceField, GrandTrain, and Pep Up. CleanSweep can only be accessed
by Dark Force when they are Confused or Controlled. Since this means that Dark
Force can throw a wide array of nasty attacks your way, you'll want to kill
them as quickly as possible. ID attacks work, and especially. L.5 Doom is great
to accomplish their deaths. Lacking this, X-Zone and Break spells are your best
options. If Strago lacks Lores at this stage, here's Dark Force's AI script for
the ultimate learning experience:
1st turn randomly: Condemned, Roulette, Aqua Rake
2nd turn randomly: Revenge, Pearl Wind, L.5 Doom
3rd turn randomly: L.4 Flare, L.3 Muddle, Reflect???
4th turn randomly: L? Pearl, Step Mine, Launcher
5th turn randomly: Dischord, Sour Mouth, Imp Song
6th turn randomly: Aero, Blow Fish, Exploder
7th turn randomly: Rippler, Stone, Quasar
Loop
The two Lores that you are likely to not know at this stage are Reflect??? and
Quasar; the former is a ridiculously horrible attack that sets Dark, Mute, and
Slow on every Reflective opponent on the battlefield (which would have been
mildly useful one hundred years ago, while scouting the Ancient Castle, a place
you have no business returning too), while Quasar is just a non-elemental,
barrier-piercing attack that would have been extremely fine hadn't it been for
the fact that GrandTrain is better in every relevant way but MP cost.
