Armstrong Boss Strategies

Here is a breakdown of the battle strategies against the boss:

Keep your distance

Similar to the battle against Orc King, you need to be mindful of where you’re going. Keep moving and maintain a moderate distance away from the boss. If you move too far you’ll be punished by his ranged attack. While you can approach the boss, ideally you shouldn’t take your time dishing out attacks since he’ll punish you if you take too long to back away.

Take out the skeletons

A pair of skeletons will join the fray and interfere during the fight sometime later. Prioritize on disposing of them quickly to prevent their magic attacks from landing.

Avoid the toxic cloud

When the boss’ head tilts back, that is a clear sign that it will release a toxic cloud after some charge time. Clear the way to avoid the cloud. If you get caught, you’ll be inflicted with poison.

Use fire spells or focus attacks

The boss fares poorly against fire spells such as Fira and Firaga which make the elemental useful for this fight. That being said, capitalize on ranged spells over physical attacks if you can afford to since you’ll be able to avoid most of his physical moves.
