==Strategy==
A party of physical attackers is required, as all damage Mateus takes from magic and ninjutsu attacks is divided by 3.
Mateus's primary gimmick is Reflect on party slots 1 and 5. Party-wide healing Soul Breaks are recommended, as those characters will reflect single-target healing spells such as Curada. Slots 1 and 5 are best occupied by characters with self-healing abilities such as Fire Assault or Fires Within. Most attacks hitting those slots will also be reflected and heal Mateus.
Attention should be paid to Mateus's defensive buffs. Barrier can be nullified by DEF debuffs like Armor Breakdown, Box Step Sarabande or Steal Defense; NulFire is optimally pre-empted by Machinist abilities such as Flame Offering and/or Burnt Offering, or any other Soul Break that reduces enemy fire resistance.
