Thanks Pirate Ahoy.
I kinda ike the thrill of the risk of being sent to jail so I don't usually attack enemies if they can't attack me (Although I did end up doing that to master Elisa's staff in the end, and have used the crabs on Driftwood to start leveling Lola's grenades. I always feel like I'm cheating though). But I may try that if the back beach proves to be too much, now, with the extra damage lower level enemies will be hitting us with, and if I dont have a healer. Thanks for the tip.
