Buddy Rush: Vampino vs Esline

Esline the Sercubus (as her race/class/job appears to be called in Buddy Rush) is annoyingly difficult to beat. She isn't particularly tough, it's just that she has the most annoying skills. Yes, she is even more bothersome than Botherella.

She can charm a character to her side for a while. She has Botherella's annoying Curse skill. Botherella users will know how annoying that skill is.

And her special attack stuns in a small targeted area! Though Nagne's Leaf Slash can be used to take advantage of her long casting time for this attack to give party members a few extra hits in.

A screenshot with Boorseye decloaking after he hits Esline:

In your face, Esline!

Did you notice the little extra help in the screenshot above? Right behind the Worrier. Yes, it's Vampino! After the fight with Drablin, he decided to stick around.

Yes, it is another scripting bug.

Apparently, if Drablin is defeated before Vampino appears, Vampino will appear and won't go away. I'd like to claim that my party was so powerful that they overran Drablin in an instant but that was not what happened. (For what really happened, Hint: I used a ranged character to trigger this bug.)

Sweet Victory!

Above is a screenshot taken after Esline was defeated (I was too slow with the PrtScr key again). Vampino was still around and, uh, oops, I missed a treasure chest. Guess I was too occupied taking the screenshot to notice it during the game.
