Berith Strategies
Here is a breakdown of the battle strategies against the boss:
Equip Shiranui Magatama
Before the battle, make sure the Protagonist or Demi-fiend is wearing a Shiranui Magatama. This Magatama nullifies Fire attacks.
Use Ice Skills
Berith is weak to Ice attacks which Demi-fiend and other demons can capitalize. It can also inflict Freeze status by chance. The damage will be higher if the party is buffed.
Land Debuffs
Land debuffs on the boss while leaving some MP for healing. Debuffs can be in the form of attack power decrease (Tarunda/War Cry), defense power decrease (Rakunda), and hit/evasion power decrease (Sukunda/Fog Breath). These debuffs can be accessed by demons in your party.
Prioritize on landing Sukunda/Fog Breath first. Followed by Rakunda and Tarunda/War Cry.
Cast Buffs
Cast buffs on your party members as well. Buffs can be in the form of attack power increase (Tarukaja), magic power increase (Makakaja), defense power increase (Rakukaja), and hit/evasion power increase (Sukukaja). These buffs can be accessed by demons in your party.
Prioritize on landing Sukukaja first. Followed by Tarukaja/Makakaja, and Rakukaja.
Boost Attacks
In addition to buffs, you can also use attacks further by using Focus (next Physical and Almighty deals x2.5 damage). This damage buff can be accessed by demons in your party.
Use Phys attacks
The boss has resistance to physical attacks. However, it can still receive damage from it so keep using physical skills. The damage is very effective when the boss is under Frozen status. If you don’t have them, just rely on your high-level demons and deal normal attacks instead.
Heal Allies
Keep the party’s HP sustained by using healing skills. Especially when other party members are using HP-consuming Physical skills.
