==Strategy==
A party of magic users is required, as all damage Ark takes from physical attacks is divided by 3.
Most of Ark's attacks do not ignore DEF, so Protectga is needed. Shellga is optional, as Doomsday is Ark's only magic attack.
Ark's most dangerous attack is Savage Eternal Darkness, which ignores Mirror Image and reduces the party's MAG, MND and DEF to 1% for three in-game seconds. However, it can be dodged by the Shield status, which makes Y'shtola's Goddess's Mercy viable.
Pulsar Wave applies Stop to the party, which lasts 17 in-game seconds with Ark's high MND stat. Unlike Eternal Darkness, Pulsar Wave is regular physical damage, which can be dodged with a Mirror Image source such as Arc's Word of Kindness or Penelo's Dance of Rapture.
Savage Doomsday is a guaranteed party kill without Last Stand, but it does not ignore Magic Barrier.
