He generally attacks party members one by one.
Has an AoE ( area of effect ) that does decent damage to all party memebers, and can confuse them. ( if you like to tension, beware of this. )
Hammibal will tension several times during your encounter.
He will commonly use a move called raging roar, it is much stronger then war cry, usually 2-3 party members are stricken with terror. ( again, if you like tension, beware of this. )
Best way to beat him: Kabuff will save you the damage he can put out as he has a pretty good damage out put, morale masher will come in handy if you are faster then him to kill his tension boosts, getting hit by his AoE while he has 50 tension is generally bad... to really get to jump on that confusion there is a ring ( ring of clarity ) that fighs confusion, it is a good idea to get this and then forbearance with a buffed paladin or warrior to really rain on his parade. ( confused party members still attack at full power on friends, so you can easily kill any party member with the amount damage you will be doing. )
Good luck with hammibal!
