well, we did also make the suggestion that when you reach that seal you could swap a member of your party for a pet that does have the required stat and then swap back after?

Also I literally cannot say anything about how hard Desius is with any shields since as far as I can remember I beat him the first time I fought him with all the seals done- never mind that it was more than five years ago, with a different team setup, and before the proficiency overhaul.

Yeah, okay..
