The reason why people don't use crit against Balmedia when they farm Blaze Pearls is because the tail is highly crit-resistant compared to the main body. That, and the tail has more HP than the main body itself.

It's effective to use STBB's/units that have hitcount buffs (Rahgan, Ark, etc) and just do normal attacks on the tail, unless of course, an Avant crashes your party and wrecks Balmedia's face with crits.
