MeMoRiEs....I remember the battle arena well. It was a chore fo' sure. But I got through it...I think the key is to try to pick handicaps that don't hurt you right away. It escapes me now, but if you press a button fast enough, it looks like it slows the slot down so if you're nice with your button pressing skills, you'd be able to pick the lesser evil. Sometimes, you'll get lucky & stuff like poison would be a choice, & if you have the ribbon, it wouldn't effect you. What I did was go into the arena with my limit break ready, use haste & Magic barrier in the beginning which transfer to the next round if you beat up your enemies fast enough, use only magic or spells you get from your enemies, or if you have something that gives you the ability to attack without using your limit break (the steal+attack, I think it's called capture, that ability to attack twice (the name escapes my mind)...there a few stuff you can use...while saving you're limit break till the end. It won't be easy. If you manage to get a mimic with a few stars, that's pretty much all you need. I wish I could remember how I had my set up cause I know I was kickin a** at the arena toward the end. I know I had mimic mastered, keep doing my limit break & then mimic it for the last couple of fights.
If I remember correctly, the worst the handicap, the more points you get at the end. So I would pick a few of the easier to deal with handicaps in the beginning, then chose the worst toward the end, long as it didn't involve me losing my yellow orbs (for mimic & 2xCut or 4xCut) & beat the last few monsters with limit breaks + mimic.
I'm sure someone will give you a better outline of what you need to do to pwn the battle arena. Good luck.
