Strategy

Moon Spirit Shrine Boss

The first sub-boss is Azure Abyss Vita Clotilde. Fight back with special or break order. She makes use of Icicle Meteor after using “uplifting,” so have play defensively. If the attack lowers your resistance, use S-tablet to remove the effect.

Unlike the first sub boss, Principal Aurelia Le Guin boasts high attack and wide reach. Focus on evasion. Juna’s order helps immensely for this fight. Again, stick to playing defensive. She can lower your resistance as well so use S-tablet.

Prior to the fight, have your team equip accessories that grant immunity to confusion or burn. Holy Beast Roselia. Like the previous sub-bosses, you need to weather the storm by playing defensively.

Gargantua

The fight against Emily and Theresia forces you to use Alisa and Angelica. You can opt to use Angelica’s Zero Impact. Another option is to use Alisa’s Heaven’s Gift at the cost of lacking range.

Severing Chains Kreuger can be annoying with his instant death S-Craft, so allocate status immunity accessories before diving in to the battle field. Focus your attacks on Kreuger. The two bosses replenish their break gauge when down to half health.

Pay attention to who Magic Knight Leviathan (Divine Knight) is going after and have the character defend. Be wary of “Ferocious Overrun,” it not only has high damage but also inflicts secondary effects. Unleash the drive when it triggers.

Attacks Weakness Details
Normal Arm
Melville Ray Body Causes moderate damage and secondary effect
Ibile Stamp Heavy single target damage
Serpent Tail Leg Bends its knees. Causes moderate damage.
Ferocious Wolf Leg Spreads its limbs. Causes high damage and secondary effects

Dragon Spirit Shrine

You’ll encounter Leonidas if you took the east path. Use magic attacks to deal effective damage. Play defensively.

Xeno guards the west path. A counter will appear when it uses Guilty Javelin. Go all out before the timer is up with ranged attacks.

Jaeger King Rutger’s move pool involves attacks with stun which you can mitigate with some preparation. When he charges Titus Rage, he’ll use S-Craft the turn after. Pick a defensive order to endure the attack. When his HP falls, both his condition and break gauge will reset.

Palatinate Knight Zector is a formidable opponent with high attack. Play defensively to withstand his attacks notably Blast Storm and Thor Hammer. When his health goes below half, play more cautiously, it is too risky to sustain an attack during this phase especially when you’re running low on health.

Below is a list of enemies.

Attacks Weakness Details
Normal Body
Ragna Driver Arm Moderate damage to one enemy.
Blast Storm Head Moderate damage and inflicts DEF down.
Thor Hammer Arm Lifts the sword with both hands. Causes moderate damage.
