Sui-Ki Strategies
Here is a breakdown of the battle strategies against the boss:
Equip Miasma Magatama
Before the battle, make sure the Protagonist or Demi-fiend is wearing a Miasma Magatama. This Magatama resists Ice attacks similar to Wadatsumi.
Be familiar with boss attacks and skills
Make it a point to get familiar with the attacks and skills of the boss. Adjust your strategy when the boss uses skills like Bufudyne and Mabufudyne. We suggest having one party member that can nullify, absorb, or resist Ice attacks. This would punish the boss for not hitting attacks by consuming one regular turn from its side.
Also, casting Sukunda/Fog Breath will make the boss miss its physical attacks and skills.
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 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 Makakaja, and Rakukaja.
Use Fire skills
Sui-Ki is weak to Fire attacks which Demi-fiend and other demons can capitalize on. The damage will be higher if the party is buffed.
Heal Allies
Keep the party’s HP sustained by using healing skills. Especially when other party members are hit by high-tier Ice skills.
