 Put your weak caster in the center, to make sure they get the bonus accuracy from that slot.  Kill both of the Beamers, and then hit the Searcher with an attack, preferably one that does not deal much damage, and then cast Weak on the summoned D.Machin. Ideally, you'll know your party order well enough to have your Weak caster immediately follow the member who attacks the Searcher. That will reduce the amount of times the D.Machin can get a Flame attack off. If you keep good track of your Weak caster's mp, you can make this a really efficient way, both in resources and time, to get a party to Zeromus-ready levels.  Put your weak caster in the center, to make sure they get the bonus accuracy from that slot.  Kill both of the Beamers, and then hit the Searcher with an attack, preferably one that does not deal much damage, and then cast Weak on the summoned D.Machin.

 By using Wall/StarVeil on the party member targeted by the Search, you'll be able to reflect the Disrupt spell back at the Trap Door and kill it.  Otherwise, they only have 5000 HP, so a well equipped party has a good chance of dealing damage fast enough to not lose any members. And a FuSoYa with Nuke should be able to do the job.   By using Wall/StarVeil on the party member targeted by the Search, you'll be able to reflect the Disrupt spell back at the Trap Door and kill it.  Otherwise, they only have 5000 HP, so a well equipped party has a good chance of dealing damage fast enough to not lose any members.

-You can also get a wall cast off on the target every time with the correct setup.  The recommended/reliable setup is to change your Battle Speed to 3, have someone who is RA1 in the top slot who will immediately attack, and then your Wall caster in the bottom slot. You should see the Search happen, be able to select Wall and the target, then have the physical attack happen (which will buffer a turn), and then your spell will go off before the Disrupt usage.  Having a full party helps with this a lot.+You can also get a wall cast off on the target every time with the correct setup.  The recommended/reliable setup is to change your Battle Speed to 3, have someone who is RA1 in the top slot who will immediately attack, and then your Wall caster in the bottom slot.
