I beat Gharon with a fairly underpowered party using this strategy
Suit Up!
Equip Rhue with a level 6 Illuminati aura, you don't need any other sword aura to be at level 6, just this one. Why? It gives you 4XL per turn. If you also have XL Retension +3, even better.
Equip Rhue with flows to prevent XL Seep and increase Will to as high as you can help it. The rest should go to preventing status effects. "Everything Small" is my recommended 2nd level flow.
Fight!
Rhue: XL Transfer to Lexus, do this non-stop unless you need to heal. Rhue is the designated healer of the group and Lexus's personal XL source. How does Rhue actually transfer XL to Lexus? Only the Lord Bellow can tell. Rhue should know at least Moderate Mass Mend and Revive 2 by now, and with his uber-enhanced Will, Moderate Mass Mend will heal up to 150 HP for everybody.
Lexus: Wellspring, Thorn of Passion, Thorn of Passion, Thorn of Passion... unless she needs to Careful Purge herself from status effects.
Slade: use the Civil Servant aura and become Lexus's secondary XL source. Lexus is a lusty young woman who won't be satisfied with just one man's XL! Slade should change to Civil Savior if there is an opportunity. Panacea and Revive may come in handy.
Sacrifa: Sacrifa is the secondary healer of the group. Draw non-stop, use the One-Elem-Trans Field at the start of the battle to dampen Gharon's magic attacks, heal and revive when necessary.
---------------------------------------------------------------
In short, the battle have Lexus standing in the front row fighting while three men hurdle behind her back healing themselves and powering her up.
