For all that he'd advised caution, the combination of Combat Mode and the sheer explosive power of the Shadow meant they really couldn't afford to hold back too much. Jade considered buffing their attack power, but that could be risky. Instead, he was ready with a Curaga to support K'pandolu if she got hit.

With Haste active on the party, they should at least be able to keep up with the Shadow's speed. Unfortunately the cramped room wasn't a good place to use Ultima. This limited Jade's methods of attack. After a beat, he decided to follow K'pandolu's example and cast Blizzaga to slow the Shadow down.
