Doron and Veron Boss Strategies

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

Carry multiple recovery and battle items or materials

Don’t forget to stock up on HP and SP recovery items and concoct materials. You may buy them from a Provisioner NPC before you encounter the boss. Moreover, some chests and stores may have them.

Learn new skills

Before engaging the boss, make sure Castti learned new skills like “Sweeping Cleave” or “Poison Axe”.

Put Doron and Veron under a debuff

Debuff Doron and Veron by utilizing Castti’s Hazardous Concoction, “Weeds”. The debuffs are random and won’t last too long.

Cast buff

Follow up your debuffs with buffs using Castti’s Medicinal Concoction. Use “Mighty Leaf” if you plan to rely on physical attack damage. Use “Weeds” instead for random attribute boosts.

Inflict Status Effects on Doron and Veron

Also, by using a Hazardous Concoction like “Dreamy Flower,” you can set the bosses to Sleep status. They will skip their turn as a result, letting you max up your boost points.

Use Ice skills to take down Doron

First, take down Doron (Weak to Ice). Start by lowering its shield points, then increase your boost points until you have 3 BP. Keep using Castti’s ice skill, Icicle.

Use Wind and Dark concoct skills against Veron

Veron will consume Doron when it is about to be taken down. Focus your attention on Veron (Weak to Wind and Dark) and diminish its shield points in the same manner. Make use of Hazardous Conction skills like “Darkdelion” or “Blusterbloom”. Build up your BP while reducing the shield points of the boss.

Recover lost HP and SP

To keep Castti’s HP and SP at a safe range, utilize her Medicinal Concoctions. This is effective when you are stalling or building up your BP count in preparation for a Boost Mode.

Activate Boost Mode to deal heavy damage

Utilize Boost Mode and deliver significant damage to Doron and Veron once Castti is at least 3 BP. Again use Ice skills for Doron and Wind or Dark concoct skills for Veron.

Combine Castti’s Boost Mode with her Latent Power

Once Castti’s Latent Power, Every Drop Counts, has fully charged. You can now use your concocting skills without using up any precious materials. In Boost Mode, this Latent Power works particularly well for doing significant damage without using any resources.

If the Veron is still alive, repeat the process.
