I just did this, you can too. Beat all 3 Tiers, and Kefka, with all of your party members Imped for the duration of the battle.

Rules:

• They must all -- and I mean ALL 12 OF THEM -- be Imped prior to the beginning of the first fight.
• If you become de-Imped, such as on the second tier (where Magic casts Imp), you must immediately spend a turn re-Imping that character.
• ONLY Imp equipment (Imp Halberd / TortoiseShld / Titanium / Imp's Armor) may be used. Some weapons trigger spells or effects. These aren't allowed!
• You may use ANY relics or items that you choose, since it's nothing that will give you any special powers that Imps can't normally have. Obviously, you can't wear relics that "prevent Imp status".

You will find, in doing this, that:

• Gau is utterly useless, as he cannot Rage as an Imp, nor can he Fight;
• You'll have to heal with X-Potions, Elixirs and Megalixirs;
• The only offensive items you can use, aside from smacking them around, are Rods and Super Balls;
• The DragoonBoots make for an easier victory, while the Genji Glove/Gauntlet is fair to use.

My characters were all Level 60; I only lost 2 people during my attempt: one to Calmness on Tier 3, and one to Havoc Wing at Kefka. I can make a video for my next try.

Run, run. Or you'll be well done.

Not that hard IMHO. Being Imp'd and wearing the Imp equipment grants your characters rather nice stats.

Stats, indeed, are offered and are quite nice, but they aren't everything. In my playthrough I ended up pouring a ton of X-Potions onto my Imp army during Tier 2, thanks to an onslaught of Flare Star, Bolt 3, Fire 3, and other things. 10 Hits was stopped pretty effectively. However, Merton (on Tier 3) nearly obliterated me.

It's not a HUGE challenge, mind you, but it is fun to try out. I would say that the REAL challenge is getting 12x of each piece of Imp equipment:

- Steal the Armor from Tyranosaurs
- Steal the Helmet (Titanium) from Tumbleweeds
- Steal the Shield (TortoiseShld) from Geckorex
- Win the Weapon (Imp Halberd) from Tyranosaurs

Just in the course of forest-leveling, you'll probably get a gross amount of Halberds, but the others are ALL rare steals, and even Dischording their respective enemies to Level 1 won't make it too much easier.

Run, run. Or you'll be well done.

Shouldn't be too hard IMO, I had Edgar as an imp when fighting the end battle and he was extremely strong and reliable. Still a fun idea though, just that it's boring getting all the equipment...
