NOTE:
If you saved before Uparupa Cave, it's far better that you just reset and try catching it again, rather than getting Alger Fruit from this fight. You have to go back through ANYWAY, and you lose more money on the Fire Spices you expend than you win from Algernon. That, and the fight itself is pretty long and dangerous.

ALGERNON AI:

Algernon:
1/64 defend
50%+ HP : Attack (93.5%), Cold Breath (6.5%; 24-39 non-elemental damage)
25%-50% HP: Attack (87%), Cold Breath (13%; 24-39 non-elemental damage)
12.5%-25% HP: Attack (75%), Cold Breath (25%; 24-39 non-elemental damage)
Less than 12.5% HP: Attack (50%), Cold Breath (50%; 24-39 non-elemental damage)

Danielle/Lienda:
Always cast Cure 2/Rejuvinate

Suiky/Eskey:
Always cast Thunder/Jolt

After each action, if Algernon is alive, there is a 50% chance of reviving Danielle on odd-numbered turns, or Suiky on even-numbered turns. If this happens, the preceding action cannot be countered.

FIRE BREATH/COLD BREATH DAMAGE:
Smallest multiple of 16 strictly greater than caster's luck, plus (-8...7).
[Algernon has 32 Luck]

THE STRAT:
Lin & Sten attack & heal as necessary (they outspeed Algernon, but not Lienda & Eskey), while Ryu & Rand spam Fire Spices. That will hopefully keep Lienda & Eskey locked down.

TRANSLATION MISHAPS:



Remember what I said about their struggle with "Owl" vs "Alger" ?
