Strategy
Have a dedicated support unit
Forneus is an annoying boss since it spreads damage and ailments each turn, especially brainwash which forces members to attack one another. When the battle starts, debuff Forneus’ attack with Matarunda, then have everyone attack with electric abilities to zap its weakness when able. Morgana shines as a support since he can patch everyone up with Mediarama each time the boss unleashes Mapsiodyne.
There are multiple options to deal with the boss. If you have Haru instead of Morgana, check against ailments by curing members with Amrita Drop or Amrita Shower and casting magic walls to soak the boss’ Psy attacks. If you have Yusuke, cast Masukukaja to raise accuracy and evasion. Ryuji pairs well with the protagonist by chaining electric spells through baton pass. If anyone still suffers from brainwash during your turn, you can pop a Recovery gel to cure them. Continue whittling it down to seal victory.
