For those who need help killing Akron, FOLLOW THIS.
Matt should be wearing: German Hat and Shirt, Sol Spear.
Nata should be wearing: Pope Hat and Dress, Flameheart.
Lance should be wearing: Genji Helm, Ninja Robe, Red Vulcan.
Start off by preparing all your character's limit breaks, done some flee-scans for the rune claws, Akron and his worms. Then, repeatedly enter and leave the battle until you get: Fire as akron's weakness. Start off by dispelling him, then use natallie's Kyun, followed by Nuke. If you did it right, the rune claws should be dead, and the next turn he will rise and summon his worms. Now, switch to natalie and buff matt with beer, followed by matt's cleaver. This should effectively have finished off more than half of akron's health. The rest should be easy: simply keep spamming legend, healmore and unload, and the battle should be set. (You do not need to kill the worms to win)
If the attack description says "Attack" somewhere inside, it is physical and depends on the atk stat. If the description says "magic" somewhere, it is magic and depends on magic atk stat.
Lastly, monoliths are annoying, but when you keep up barriers and guardians with adequate resistance you can slowly chip away at them without taking too much damage. Always target one monolith at a time rather than use multi-damage skills; the key is to take them out one by one. Another method is to finish them off as fast as possible without buffing yourself: Matt's earth attacks do well here even if you're only slightly higher level than the monoliths. In general if you're finding it difficult to fight the monoliths, go around grinding mobs for a little before coming back! It helps.
Make use of matt's massive physical damage! A suitable combo would be: Temper on the first turn, barrier to make up for his sword's defense penalties, and lockon, followed by
debilitate. Follow up with legend and watch the health bar of your opponent drop drastically! (You can kill the sandworm in one turn with this combo, if you did it correctly and with some lucky strikes)
Top things to max out in the forge - german hat, german clothing (found near the end of the game, summons tanks and provides a decent damage and defense bonus) and have them on matt. Gas mask and army clothes for lance (free nukes and gas strikes, although the strikes can get annoying near the end of the game when the enemies start healing from poison instead of taking damage) and most important, holy clothes for natalie.
Just general protips:
Poison is always good on any unit if they aren't resistant to it, make sure to get the gas mask on level 5 and nettles on maximum. Careful not to cast it on resistant units, they will heal from it and you cannot remove it! (If you cast it on a ghost, the only way to kill them efficiently is with matt's annihilation move)
Getting strong elemental resistance is key to winning boss battles. For example, natalie's holy armor grants near invulnerability to all dark attacks (0 damage from the final boss minions and some of his own attacks) making your coffee stock last longer.
Regen is a great move to have even if your characters are at full health! Use it often and max it early along with healmore! At max level it heals up to 5000 each turn (although the heal on the activation is only 300 or so) and lasts for 5 turns!
Don't want to waste a turn scanning the mobs? Sure. Simply swap turns to Lance first, scan and flee!
