Djinn Setup: [remark; shouldn't order be like karis/sveta/amiti/himi or smth?]
	Karis: 3J+3Me, Torrent is one of the Me djinn, Kite one of J djinn.
	Sveta: 5 V + any J (e.g. sirocco)
	Amiti: 5Ma + Shell
	Himi: Full V, incl Bark/Chasm/Chain

	Def/Slam/Frostbite/Chain (FB is in case of dmg range, if Vial T2 going to need another and use bark with Himi here instead)

Chaos Chimera
	Retibution, djinn blast or a bad stun can just wreck your day here. Such is the life of speedrunning.

Strategy:
	Himi weapons grace Sveta, then Chasm/Bark where needed
	Sveta spams speed punch where ever possible. Pack defence is useful when shit hits the fan. Try to avoid using Eclipse except when it will kill. 
	Karis summons Eclipse where ever possible. Have Karis prepped with an Eclipse with Kite returning first to setup a double speedpunch on Sveta. 
	Amiti Shell to complete Karis' first eclipse, has water of life, can use wish well when needed, swapped with other party members to summon eclipse
	Other party members; summon venus/ramses to refresh Himi's djinn

Best case scenario fight:
	Eclipse/Beastform/Shell/Weap Grace
	[swap tyrell in for amiti]
	Eclipse/Speed Punch/Venus/Chasm
	[swap matthew in for tyrell]
	Eclipse/Speed Punch/Venus/Bark
	[swap rief in for matthew]
	Eclipse/Speed Punch/Venus/Chasm (Dead)
	
One Shadow Shield warrants an additional speed punch.

	Retribution, djinn blast or a bad stun can just wreck your day here. Such is the life of speedrunning.

Best case scenario fight:

	Chasm/Speed Punch/Venus/Eclipse
	[swap matthew in for tyrell]
	Bark/Speed Punch/Venus/Eclipse (Heal Karis if low, shouldn't need Bark again)
	[swap rief in for matthew]
	Chasm/Speed Punch/Venus/Eclipse (Dead)
One Shadow Shield warrants an additional speed punch.

Strategy:
	IF SOMEONE DIES: Switch in Amiti, Shell and Res with Himi or Karis. Vine with Karis if don't have to resurrect.
	Himi weapons grace Sveta, then Chasm/Bark where needed
	Sveta spams speed punch where ever possible.
	Karis summons Eclipse where ever possible.
	Amiti Shell to complete Karis' first eclipse, can use wish well when needed, swapped with other party members to summon eclipse
	Other party members; summon venus/ramses to refresh Himi's djinn
