Pirro Boss Strategies

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

Carry multiple recovery and battle items

Make sure you have a supply of HP and SP recovery items on-hand before facing the boss. Before you get to the boss, there is a Provisioner NPC who you may purchase them from. Additionally, carry along a supply of combat goods, such as status effects and elemental damage items. They may also be acquired from chests and NPCs besides stores.

Learn new skills

Before engaging the boss, make sure Throné learned new skills like Surprise Attack, Swift Step, Armor Corrosive, or Shackle Foe.

Put Pirro under a debuff

Debuff Pirro from time to time (if you have debuff skills available). Utilize Throné’s Armor Corrosive or Shackle Foe skills to lower the boss enemy’s physical attack or physical defense power.

Cast buff

Follow up your debuffs with buffs (if you have buff skills available). Make use of Swift Step to boost Throné’s Speed attribute.

Inflict Status Effects on Pirro

Additionally, you can impair the boss’ status by using items like Bottle of Blinding Dust, Bottle of Befuddling Dust, Bottles of Poison Dust, or Bottle of Nightmares. Although the status infliction’s success likelihood is not 100%, if it hits, his effectiveness in the boss fight would drop.

Recover lost HP and SP

To keep your party’s HP and SP at a safe range, consume HP and SP recovery items. This is effective when you are stalling or building up your BP count in preparation for Boost Mode.
