I had all spells learnt by lv 65 BUT I won't attempt the Dino forest below lv 80 as in you need a MINIUM of 8500 max HP before the Ultimate weapon sword Terra Celes Edgar Locke ONLY does the 9999 x4 hits IN the Front row that's enough to still kill 2 T rex's in 1 battle IN 1 turn but not for the braciosaurs since those have 48, 000 HP and 4x ribbon users is a MUST before trying to kill them.
