Fearsome Judgement Tips

Ruin Guard, Ruin Grader, and Ruin Sentinels have high physical resistance so make use of elemental reactions to defeat them. You can use characters that can trigger Frozen reaction to stop them from moving or use characters that use bows to immobilize Ruin Guard or use Electro characters to immobilize Ruin Graders.
