If Vins is at S range (which I think she is, but it's been a while since I've done that particular fight), then you're at your biggest advantage. Using Red Garland 3 on her can inflict some status effects that'll help turn things in your favour, so focus on getting that going over straight damage (although if you do it three or four times and nothing happens, you'll probably be better off going for Berserk Rush instead. She's also weak to the Ultraviolet Lasers, which should do about 100 damage or so every time you use them and have a high chance of inflicting Blindness, which will be a big help if you can't get the statuses going with Red Garland 3.

In terms of damage, Hanoi Rocks is the big threat over Vins herself. Iai Slash is likely to do upwards of 100 damage, plus whatever Vins dishes out, so try and keep your health above 150 or so. Red Garland is reasonably fast, so I think you should outspeed her on most of your turns, which gives you time to heal when you need it. Focus on staying alive over inflicting damage.

Like the page says, Berlin and Alicia will join the fight after a good number of turns has passed, although I don't know the exact number (I wanna say it's around 20-25, since I've seen it happen before, but I could be wrong). Neither of them are spectacular in terms of stats or skills, but just having extra characters around will be a big help, since it would allow you to attack and heal at once and give Vins more targets so she's less likely to hit you. A strategy might be to stall until they join the fight just so you can have that advantage, but in all honesty, you can probably win without them.

As long as you have a good supply of healing items (Diamond C and First-Aid Kits), you should be able to keep the fight going for long enough to beat her. This fight is not a case of your situation getting worse as the battle goes on, so just take it easy and focus on staying alive.

Good luck!
