Drum ‘n’ Stinger Strategies
Here is a breakdown of the battle strategies against the boss:
Equip fire pins
Before engaging the boss, make sure you have Fire affinity pins equipped to Wicked Twisters if available.
Avoid exposure to the poison cloud
Don’t engage the boss close when it is using its toxic purple cloud. This deals damage over time even if you don’t attack the boss.
Let the poison status expire
If a party member gets inflicted, get away immediately make the poison expire first before attacking again.
Bait attacks before engaging
Let the boss unleash its pincer and tail swipe abilities first. While it recovers back to its neutral position, engage the boss with all of your pin attacks afterwards.
Launch the boss up in the air
Initiate your offense by launching the boss above. This will help your other party members set up and land their attacks.
Use fire affinity attacks
The boss is weak against Fire affinity attacks. Complement this with your other pins the boss does not have resistance against.
