A new technique?

    I'm going through the game very slowly. Patiently, as G. P. suggested. Then it was time to face Longfang Witherhide and get his claw. My level 20-something party (not even experts in Dark Magic) tried their weak little Shrapmetal spells, to no avail. He just laughed at my Incinerate spells. Fire spells, against a DRAGON? Ha!

    So then I did something I'd never tried before. I kept in turn base, then kept hitting the attack button as fast as I could. Surprisingly, the Dragon went down, with very little damage to my party. This technique also worked well when I was faced with the Minotaur King in the Temple of the Sun, I think it was.

    I still don't know why it worked. If I'd been in real time, I could see it, but no, I was in turn base all the while. Has anyone else tried this?

I believe many do combat in turn based mode. It's possible to (spoilers)...

    stay behind corners (or doors) and hit monsters while monsters hit walls. If you're using game w/ Grayface patch the switch I supplied that I realized was not per game intent could result in a recovery time reduction (improvement) of 50% rather than intended 9%. This would allow your heroes to get in more attacks for each monster attack. Only reason I know of to use real time mode for fighting is when fighting the Reactor to get best performance from Ancient Weapons.

It happens rarely, but not incredibly so

    Turn-based comnbat with a low-level party against a dragon will generally end up with four dead party members after four attacks by the dragon. But every so often the game seems to get "stuck" if you hold down the attack button (or perhaps hit it very quickly, I don't do this) and it seems to be unable to give the opponent a turn among all the party attack commands. When this happens, virtually any level party can kill any level monster, given enough time
