well maybe it will not go the way you want but it will help a lot in fight [you know you really need to win otherwise you have to flip the board].
if you edit your equipment xml you will get error message in the end of battle.
but i found out it will not happen when you edit your fighting buddy equipment in friends_equip.xml [you can find it with charles it will show up when you start a battle]
what to equip and what's the code..you can find it in config_item.xml[you might need to clear cache to find this one]
it will be something like this
<SLOT id="your friend id" index="item index" count="1" equip="1" strengthen="100" time="whatever number" />
there your friends will be equiped with selecia set.xena warrior princess set or whatever set.
remember..equipment consist of couple parts.sso for 1 id you need to put around 4+ item with different index.when you open that _equip.xml you will know what i'm talking about
i quit about a month ago so i hope it still work.good luck
