Flare , Holy , and Blizzaga are reflectable , so a Reflect Ring is the easiest way to take care of 75 % of the enemy ' s attacks and further damage Cherry . In addition , it won ' t trigger Cura / Meteor counterattacks ( which requires the player to damage her directly at least once ) , and the player can simply pass turns by attempting to run , as fleeing is not permitted ; this further averts the risk of a counter . The player can attempt to absorb Holy or Blizzaga via equipment as well . There is not much that can be done to defend against Meteor if the player is unfortunate enough to trigger a counter ; a Muscle Belt can bring the player ' s HP high enough to survive one Meteor if they couldn ' t already . A Red Cap is another option to raise the wearer ' s max HP , but note that a combination of max HP raising equipment won ' t have a better effect than the piece of equipment that gives the best HP boost would on its own . Also , keep in mind that a Reflect Ring won ' t allow the user to absorb Holy or Blizzaga to help withstand another Meteor .
